(The universe, as we know from life experience) manipulates things in such a way that every time you feel yourself alone you are made to forget it somehow and you carry on blissfully for a while until the next blow comes.

Everyone has the capacity to think but not everyone utilizes fully this wonderful power. Even those that do think, usually exercise the thinking faculty only on matters related to the objective universe. Very few turn this light of thinking inward and focus it on their own selves and ask fundamental questions. Richard Bach, the famous author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, gives a very practical suggestion in one of his less know books. He says:

The simplest questions are the most profound. Where were you born? Where is your home? Where are you going? What are you doing? Think about these once in a while, and watch your answers change.

When these questions begin to rattle in your brain, the effect can be quite unsettling. Everything begins to slip through your fingers. All relationships, all possessions suddenly become hollow and meaningless. Through stories and parables great saints have always taught the superficiality and frailty of all worldly relationships. And if all this gives too gloomy a picture to you, just think how far and how long can all your relations, friends and well-wishers accompany you. When death calls on you, it is going to take you alone. No, not even one of your closest buddies can or would like to accompany you beyond the portals of death. At the most they may accompany your corpse up to the cremation ground or the graveyard and weep for a few days. The journey beyond is your own, to be done all alone. What will accompany you on this journey is your character, the power generated through righteous living.

(An) ancient law-giver says,

Righteousness is the only friend that accompanies you after death. Everything else perishes with death of the body.

there was something that I have come to realize....

when I "got my soul back from ya"... it was something i realized i could give to whom ever I wanted... not that I didn't already know that.. I just realized that...

and the thing that I did.. was a give a tiny little piece of my sould to those who've "earned" it, so to speak, those whom I want to share my "after life" with.....

i gave you a little piece....

so even though I may not be able to fully go into the dark night with you to walk down that long tunnel and find the light... a part of me will always be with you....

I had to say that and this one more thing

A wise philosopher once said...

"For a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories"
