Appreciating everything

It is almost like appreciating everything that happens in this world Imagine going through life appreciating everything that happens in this world. I use to pull into my driveway very late at night. After getting out of my car I would look up into the clear night sky. I would stop walking and be amazed at how beautiful the stars would look. I would stop and give thanks to God, that I’m alive and I can witness something so beautiful. I would also come out of work after a long day. The sun would start to go down, which made the sky almost appear glowing. I would pass by a tree and see the contrast of colors between the tree and the sun setting sky. I would be so amazed at the light affects, that I would be seen standing mesmerized in the parking lot. Imagine going through life finding beauty in everything. No it is not that difficult to do. If you practice finding the positive in any situation, then it eventually becomes easier and easier. Well, how can one find beauty when the world is at war? How can one find beauty when people are dying? How can one find beauty when one is losing a beloved family member? How can one find beauty when dying of a terminal disease? How can one find beauty when one is suffering? Well, if you believe you cannot, then you can never do. I never found myself in those such terrible situations. But I am sure that I can find beauty in anything. Earlier I explained on focusing only on the positive things. If one would focus only on the positive, then the negative would cease to exist. For example a light spectrum is made up of many different forms of energy waves. We can only see a small portion of that which is made up as what we see as visible light. Ultraviolet light rays, infra red light rays and radar waves are invisible to human eyes. Yet there are so many ways to see an object, we can only be able to see the object in visible colors. What I’m getting at is that we still have a choice on how we view our world. See only the positive things in this world regardless of how many negative things that are happening. Imagine if you were a soldier at war. You are a witness to violence, destruction, death, fear and so on. Now image being in a mortar attack and another soldier grabs you and pulls you to safety before a mortar blows up in your place. There is so much to appreciate in witnessing the bravery of one soldier saving another. That would be very difficult for people to appreciate if they are only focusing on the death and ugliness all around them. Imagine witnessing the death of all the victims in the World Trade Center. That was a very horrifying time for all of us. Now focus on how grateful and patriotic Americans became on the days that followed. Imagine losing a very close family member. And now appreciate how beautiful it is when the rest of the family members support each other in their crisis. Each time it is possible to appreciate beauty in everything. It is a sad thing for those of you who cannot do it. It means that your world is filled with ugliness and fear.
