What do you think is important in being alive?

So you're taking a lengthy airplane trip and the person sitting next to you turns to you and asks, "So what do you think is important in being alive." Are you all set to answer that question? If not why not? Could there be any other question which would better allow you to really introduce yourself to another? And there would be no reason to hold anything back because you wouldn't be pushing your views concerning what is important in being alive onto anyone who hadn't asked to hear them, Right? Meditate on this question. Go really deep within yourself, and after trying a number of logic strings, go back to my first post here and see if there could possibly be anything more important than learning how to have daily peace of mind, serenity of spirit, and sense of being at home in your own skin (i.e. having the knowledge that you are in good company when you are all by yourself).

Isn't it obvious that that foregoing state of being is precisely what your brain and body are asking you to dwell in at all times? "Then whence cometh your resistance to being willing to go to any lengths to work towards the accomplishment of that which will allow you to feel really, really good inside every day for the rest of your life? Meditate on that question, also. Love & Blessings - Chuck
