Thought of the Day - Understanding

Thought of the Day - Understanding

We always try hard to understand someone or something. We feel that perhaps we are doing them an injustice and that their cause deserves more careful consideration. But that is largely because we cannot quite believe what we appear to be seeing or hearing. By all means seek an explanation. The more we find out, the wiser we become - and wisdom is one of the keys to happiness. But bear in mind that some factors in all our lives are beyond understanding. We need to just get it and accept it and not try to understand everything. Sometimes, the wisest thing to do is to leave them as mysteries.

Thought of the Day - Experience

There's always an explanation. The explanation, though, isn't always correct. Take ghosts, for example. The world is full of clever characters who think they know why so many of us see them. They can (and do) fill up books and internet sites with their scientific debunking of the subject. It all sounds very convincing, but it's almost like using logic to disprove the existence of love. Ultimately, our experiences will always be more real to us than our explanations. And rightly so. Our hearts know what is important and significant now. And the experience of being alive is what matters.
