PATIENCE = REWARDSEverything in life is of a temporal nature and will pass with time, whether good or bad, time wins.
Often people will equate the present moment as the eternal moments, meaning that what is now will always be in the future.
That is pure nonsense because no two moments in this Universe are the same, each is unique in its own way and what happened just one moment ago may never happen again for eternity.
Therefore the lesson is to be PATIENCE and await that moment where we will all be rewarded. Once that reward comes, you will then have to decided how to enjoy it in the future moments and be realistic that even though it may be great for that moment, that future moments can change in a second.
I have seen people go on vacation, they leave with the family and come back with a member less as one passes away. I have seen other people basket in riches in this moment only to see them in prison 6 months later in another moment. I have seen businesses doing great in one year filled with moments only to struggle the next year with all of its moments. I have seen people enjoy life in this moment filled with health only to seen them crippled with health issues in the next moment.
Therefore what is my point? We are NOT MASTERS of our life and are subjected to uncontrollable forces. We can never gloat in a great moment nor great depressed in another, it is just that moment.
What you learn to say that you are nothing, that you have nothing, that you control nothing, then you become something.
Becoming this something is realizing that whether we get rich together, poor together or stay stagnate together, it is JUST AN EXPERIENCE. That is all we get from life AN EXPERIENCE which hopefully dementia does not come to rob us of it and if it does, not even that you keep.
Be patient, cherish this moment and the next and the next, money in the end is just another form of toilet paper we trade around, which gives us the illusion of importance where there is none.
Good Luck,
