Are you glad to be Human?

If you'll be ask this question, what will be your answer? Mine would be Yes, I am glad to be human. Who wouldn't be? I know there are downsides of being human but the joy and pleasure of being one far more outweighs them. Never mind the endless struggle we have to deal with on a daily basis because at the end, there's always something we can look forward to. The various tasks we all have to contend with can be daunting at times but then we can always count on God's helping hand. I am glad to be human even if it means I have to experience pain in the different aspects of my life --if it also means being with the people I care about. I am glad to be human and I wouldn't trade it for anything else......

..what I learned from Morrie...

"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too--even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."

"Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. When you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for no matter how much of them you have."

"Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do."

"Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it."

"Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others."

"Don't assumed that it's too late to get involved."

"Death ends a life, not a relationship."

"Learn how to die and you learn how to live."

Patience

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves...Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live with them and the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually , without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.--R.M.Rilke
