Valuable Time

People think they can spend their time like its infinite, like it is unlimited. Some spiritual teachers talk about eternity in the now and how we are gods trapped in a human body with unimaginable abilities and capacities that we haven’t tapped into. Like buddhist monks walking into a wall, or meditation masters who feed from prana (life force) and have no need of eating or drinking. All of this sounds appealing and desirable, to our weak society which suffers every day by losing souls to sicknesses that we can’t fully understand.

Let me tell you a truth, it is limited, and most of us have been spending our valuable time without even knowing it. Technology and social media has made us devalue our own existence, making us superficial and arrogant, with no respect for each other or other species, or even our own home. We even care more about how we look than how we feel.

So stop whatever you are doing and do something it’s worth spending your time on. Help a stray dog, appreciate what you currently have, become a constructive and positive person, help people with their difficulties.

Be conscious and aware of your surroundings, and be sure to use, not waste, your time. Spend it on something that matters, like being happy.
