(#6103) Finding happiness within my humility

      I understand the joy of existing. Despite all the rigmarole of what seems like every moment, I am content. So much so that I can smile even when the pain and suffering within me is prevalent. It is because I have no expectation based upon privilege or deserves. I am fortunate that those who preceded us fought and died for me to have the liberty of freedom and human rights. If I do seem angry or stirred to heightened emotion it is because there are those among us who want to take those beautiful advantages from all of us. Even then in my diligence to rebut those soulless folks I am tethered to my core of being happy.
     I do not lose myself in my quests for better, instead I remain steady but nimble. Able to thwart the worst of who I could be because the better of me is brimming inside. I get to choose instead of react. In some ways it is an example of some wisdom and growth on my part. I don't demand my way, I offer it as something of a gift we can all share. I don't suppose to know your pain like you do because that would be arrogant of me. I don't act like I am better than anyone because in all my intention I just hope to not be worse than anyone. Reality is amazing in that I get to exist where I can experience life in all its surroundings. I am not sheltered away from what is out there to behold.
     We all inwardly hope to exist in our own way so that we can live the time we have the way we want to spend it. For those of us who appreciate what our heritage has provided for us we thank the universe for giving us what we need to build our presents and futures. We also thank our foreparents for being more than marauding nomads who only cared for themselves. They built societies for us to prosper in and move beyond the limits of our planet. They archived our knowledge and information so that present and future generations could add to our burgeoning remarkable enlightenment. I am humbled by all that has come before me and that is so inspiring and purposeful. I hope in my short time being alive that I can add, even if only infinitesimally, to the wealth of possibilities available for others to consider.
