Treasure the people around you

I wouldn't focus on the fact that everyone you know will someday die. That's the tragedy of being a human but it's not what makes people wonderful. What makes people wonderful is that we are all made in the image of God. All of us are little mirrors that reflect a small part of God. Each of us are different but all take part in the beauty of God. Treasure in each person what makes them unique and wonderful. Most of all enjoy every moment of them.

By feeling grateful, deeply appreciating their love for you and mentally sending them positive energy, healing and whatever else they may need at the moment. Be it through meditation, prayer or just a simple thought. Make sure to tell them, hug them and show them how you feel about them and do it often. Forgive them, forgive yourself and accept them and yourself. Be proactive in your communication and don't allow your daily routine to fade them into the background. We can't stop death but we can start Life, living it every day as if tomorrow wasn’t guaranteed. Be blessed.

Because survival is the one thing humans care about (the same goes for any living thing, really, but I'll stick with human examples because it's simple). Everything we do is, at its core, something that we believe will help us survive and prosper. Now, you might be asking yourself, “What about all the bad things people do, all the greedy and horrible and stupid things?” Well, that's where two points come in: I specifically mentioned the word ’Believe' in there, because the way we see the world and our own experiences change our cognition of how the world works. Obviously, having a mental illness of some kind might change the way someone sees the world in indescribable ways.

When I say 'Us' I mean the individual making the decision and maybe their immediate family unit. The survival of those two things is paramount. (It should be noted that the term family unit is different for other creatures than it is for humans. An ant's 'family unit' probably consists of the Queen and eggs, while a tree's ‘family unit' might consist of the tree and any seeds currently growing on it at that moment). With those two points in mind, even the worst actions can fit under the need to survive (albeit one that might be flawed if considered by outside sources).

Can’t speak for other people, but I’m enjoying it and in the normal run of things I’m half way through it. Then again, death contains elements of random chance so I could be, unbeknownst to me, somewhat near the end of it. So treasure is perhaps the wrong word, but I am enjoying it and I want to continue doing it. I also don’t conceive of another life post-death, so this is really it for me. There is nothing else. People tend to treasure their lives so much because of the simple fact that they’re only going to live once! YOLO

This is what I wanted to convey, even if things in life don’t go , the way you want them to go, life certainly goes on its own way, proving its existence. And its existence is wild, glorious and beautiful, all of them at the same time. Life is always worth living, live it to the fullest. The biggest treasure in life is Satisfaction. Because, satisfaction doesn't come with money, nor does it come with career or family or friends or anything. Satisfaction comes with the inner self. How happy we are with our present circumstances! It is the most difficult things to achieve.

If we go on a survey, asking people about how satisfied they are with there life, career, relationships and goals. You would actually find a real few amount of them. Rest all are compromising for something or other. I am not saying adjusting or compromising is a bad thing, indeed it is a very good quality but then giving up on something you desperately desire for, for something else and finding happiness in that is a real treasure.

“LIFE” itself is a treasure! Life - the life gifted by our parents, which cannot be earned if we lose it ! Live your life to the fullest, enjoy every good, bad, better, bitter, best days of your life. Don't ever give up, for silly reasons. failure in board exams, not getting a seat in dream college/course, love failure, separation from life partner, etc., etc., etc., shouldn't be the reason to end our precious life! Jeeva ( life) is the precious gift of Paramatma (nature). Preserve it and take care of it till the end.

Your parents are the most precious treasure you will ever possess. Why? They are the ones who will always be by your side even when the whole world is against you. friends/boyfriends/girlfriends will come and go. But they will always remain the only constants in your life. Everybody change with time. So it's very obvious that you will also change with time. But still they will never stop loving you. If you are a changed person they will love the changed you. You make a mistake and soon your near and dear ones will leave you. No matter how much unhappy or distressed your parents are with the mistake, they will always hear you.

They will stand by you in your good and bad times. Seeing you happy will make them happy, and seeing you sad will also make them sad. They will understand you more than anyone else in this world. There are times when you will think that your parents don't understand you, but with time and experience you will understand that they are the only ones who understands you. They will always see your happiness before their own. If a small sacrifice on their part can make bring a smile on their face, they will not think twice before doing it.

They will take your bad mood or any kind of mood swings you are having. Long distance doesn't affect their love. They will love you in the same manner and perhaps miss you more than anyone else if you are staying miles away from your home in a different city. Lastly, they don't love you for your bank account. They don't love you for your position. They don’t love you for your popularity(if you have any). Your parents will always love you for the person you are. And they don't need any conditions for loving you. That's unconditional love. Though they don't expect anything from you, but calling up them just to tell how much you love them will surely bring a smile on their face. Your parents are the most priceless treasure you will ever possess. So cherish them. Cheers!
