Everything will pass (again)

Amazing thing is that I still exist here!
I didn't decide to come to this world. I didn't decide to survive at every critical moment in my life. The fact is that I find myself here. Somebody is causing my existence, something is supporting my existence. It is far beyond what I think.
And besides that, I do exist for a reason. This was not by accident. And for a good reason. The reason came out of love--genuine, true love. Therefore, the reason of my existence is in favor of me, my happiness.

And my life here in this world is limited. It is so precious time. Therefore, it is very natural for any human being to think about what the purpose of our life is, because it is so important thing for us to know. Time is limited, but it has a clear purpose which should be accomplished within a limited time.

And the purpose was the perfection of love. Through anything and everything that comes up to me, I am given a chance to create my true self (which is our true substance that exist forever) with my own effort, or participation, to think certain way, act certain way, and by doing so, I am creating my internal self, and hopefully to more and more, in a way, resembling who God is. As the scripture says, God created us in his image, after his likeness. And God alone cannot accomplish this work, he absolutely needs my cooperation to accomplish this task. Of course I myself can never accomplish this kind of thing, but only with the help of God, or working together with God, I am creating and molding myself together with God. How important each moment is! It is priceless. How can we waste our times complaining, lamenting and being depressed and wondering or wandering around. It is so unwise. Each moment is like the most precious diamond. I need to use it well.

Anyway, since it is given, it is a chance, nobody is going to check if I am doing a good job or not, nobody will bother you, it is totally up to me.

These thoughts just keep coming since I was driving by that particular place of my memory--my memory of having the worst flat tire experience after midnight. Amazing! Life is amazing. I shared these thoughts with my wife. She said that I became like a Buddha. Well, is it OK to become like a Buddha? I think so. He is one of God's great sons. He sacrificed a lot to show us the way how we can perceive the world and how we can get rid of our adherence to the limited, material world. Behind what great work he did was his deep love for God and humanity. So we are related in this love--selfless love coming from our common origin.
