People! We spend so much of our time here bemoaning the human condition. Bemoaning our fates. Some of us go as far as to wish for death and hope for a better after life. Sweet heaven, loving Lord, virgins, enlightenment, milk and honey - on and on we go about how much better it will be after we're on that other side. The side beyond the light.
But what if what's actually happening is that we all clamored and begged and lined up to come here? What if all us souls were somewhere else - bodiless and bored. Perhaps we were fine enough. Happy enough. But without the ability to really feel, to run, to jump, to breath in and out. Without all that we felt incomplete. Maybe we entered a lottery or did favors to get here. Maybe we chose this - somewhere else. And maybe by not fully living each and every moment we're here we are cheating ourselves out of a huge opportunity. What if, despite the disease and the wars and the terrorism and racism and global warming, this is the pinnacle of what it means to be human and thus we have chosen to return here over and over again? What if the blessed other side is us?
