Despite myself
There is a wise man I once met who impressed me with his philosphy. It is important to note here, that I'm not one who is easily led by religion, spirituality, or any of the like. Being as un-religious as I am, it is also a little difficult to fathom that people turn followers of another human being.
However, there is one person's philosophy I once heard (against my will, I must admit), and was rather impressed by (albeit reluctantly). Specifically, there were two things he mentioned, which grasped my attention immediately.
In today's world, every person must live life 200 percent - 100 percent materially, and 100 percent spiritually. It is important that people enjoy what the world has to offer today, and it is important that people not only live, but also participate in the moment, in the present.
At the same time, it is equally vital that one doesn't lose sight of their need for spirituality. And yes, everyone does need it. Forms may vary, definitions may vary, but the inherent thought remains the same.
I'm not a spiritual person. I have no idea where I'm headed, and it doesn't bother me. But I do strive to think good thoughts, have those translated to good words, and ultimately translate those to good deeds.
And I think I'm doing fine.
