Thinking this way makes it easier to endure whatever life has in store for us. When you are young you think everything is about pleasure like candy or love or Sex or whatever pleasure is in life.
However, that doesn't work very well as an adult because sometimes those pleasures might kill you.
As I grew up through my 20s I discovered this and how it often wasn't the highs in life that could kill you but often the lows.
So, I began to see that being somewhere in the middle in a state of peace or Grace not too high and not too low is how people survive to old age.
Everyone wants to be high all the time with pleasure or sex or candy or ice Cream or entertainment or whatever.
However, what lasts is enlightenment, compassion, Family, Friends, kindness.
Everything else is sort of very temporary and a waste of your time in the long run.
So, if you live long enough without self destructing through various kinds of pleasure you learn this lesson about life.
In the end if you are not very practical you don't tend to live very long anyway.
So, being compassionate to yourself and others while being very practical about everything is really how one lives to old age in the first place.
Compassion and family and friends are really what life is all about and this can then lead to Enlightenment and Oneness with God and Nature everywhere.
By God's Grace
