Daily Encouragement: A note on kindness & Death is a part of life (2)
As every cloud has a silver lining, every exit is an entrance somewhere else. The polarities of the universe are a mental construct; in truth sadness and joy, good and evil, positive and negative are all labels that we assign.
The "worst" thing in your life may be, in fact, the best thing that ever happens to you, because it forces you to realize that everything we gain can be lost in an instant, including life.
If you cannot even possess yourself; how can you dare to hope to hold on to anything else in this life?

Many people confuse kindness for weakness. Kindness is a choice we make like any other. Anger solves nothing. To be kind rather to react "in kind" in the midst of a storm of angry stimuli is much harder than to surrender to the moment and sink to the level of the "perpetrator". "You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished BY your anger." - Buddha

Death is a part of life. Many people mourn their departed rather than celebrate them. This is a mistake. Time is an illusion. Those who matter transcend matter, and every moment is like a string of pearls extending into infinity. You carry the memories; honor them, do not mourn them, for they are a happy burden, if only you let them be what they are.
