What makes life so valuable?

Usually we don't know what we got until we are about to or actually lose it.

It is not that we take it for granted, it’s more of thinking that whatever it is, will always be there.

It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase Live in the now and appreciate the moment when we realize what it took to get here and how fleeting this moment is.

Quite frankly, presidential elections are dramatic and is more of a spectacle than anything else. Politicians will be politicians no matter the party.  What really affects us most are the local laws that our own city and state come up with. Those are what screws with our everyday lives. I often wonder how it would be like if there were no professional politicians. Instead just regular working men and women who volunteer some of their time to actually serve the people.

I guess the concept of people passing is hard for us to grasp because no one really knows what happens after or is there even an after life. 

Every tradition has their own version of a world beyond this one and whatever requirements necessary to have a pleasant life there. 

I guess that is why we imagine the after life as something like this life because this is all we know.

Do you want to be right or Do you want to be Happy? Many of us are usually happy when we are right but some can only be happy if they are right.  I guess it is another way of saying, You might be right, but is it worth it?

 One of the great challenges in life is knowing enough to think you are right but not enough to know you are wrong. - Neil deGrasse Tyson

What if our financial problems aren't really about money?  Ever thought that money problems are more of mental problems?  What our attitudes are towards money?

No more pain, no more suffering, pure joy, bliss,  total freedom, peaceful, singing songs of praise and being in the loving arms of our creator.

It may not be a problem with attention.  It may just the teaching method is not suited to the child's learning style.  Hopefully, by figuring out how children learn and adapting to it would help out parents in the home school situation that was forced on them by the pandemic.

There is a saying that we are what we eat, at the same token we are whatever kind of media we consume.

Complaining about your job?  At least you still have one.  In this time of pandemic, a job is still better than nothing.   Just think of the harsh working conditions they had back then before the Labor Day holiday was actually declared into law.
