In this world, everything has a shelf life. Even our attention is here today and elsewhere tomorrow. A lot of time is spent replacing what we used to love.
Protect that which you cherish. Do not let anyone take it away, especially if the offending party is you. Remember what drew your interest originally.
Feelings are transitory by nature. What you like must reach deeper to have a chance at survival. If you can do without it, then you probably should.
When the expiration date is finally reached, let it go. Walk away and do not look back. Regret is far too grievous a burden for anyone to attempt to carry.
To be free, we must unshackle ourselves from our desires. These are the strings by which they make us dance. What a blessing it is when they are cut.
Seriously, I just can't help but see you wearing a robe and sitting on top of a mountain peak when you say things like this.
ReplyDeleteI am simply sharing what I have learned. Over the years, so many things have been demonstrated. It would be a shame if I did not communicate them to others.
DeleteIndeed, we should not invest in the world. The "god" of this world is waiting to pull our strings of desire. The spirit is all that matters, our souls should never be for sell.
ReplyDeleteTo invest in the world is to pave the way to spiritual ruin. What is desired is used to ensnare. In order to avoid the trap, abstain from the bait.
