~ meaning of life ~

Strange how we compare life across our planet and see it for what we might make of it. We all do this, we compare ourselves to others, and we form a view, which might be good or concerned.

Most often we view other lives and see how we might improve our own. And this can lead to fulfilment or great disappointment when we don’t achieve.

We do achieve a great deal every day, and sometimes we just don’t see how good life is generally for us. We see what we desire not what we have.

Even when life looks extreme, or difficult we wonder whether its worth it. And the reason why we wonder is because we don’t value that life experience.

When we see hardship, or we see extreme disability, we judge for ourselves we could not stand it, we sometimes if not always miss the point of living.

Each of us has our own experience, we make the best of what we have, and we know nothing more familiar. The experience of disability or hardship is just that unless we remove our label of these experiences.

Life is life, even when its not what we might anticipate and especially when others lives are beyond our experience.

Often we compare, and we judge rather than see life for what it is, we misunderstand others experience, their life and not our own. Judge not lest ye be judged, appropriate to anyone with good conscience.
