It is important that we keep life in perspective. It is important for us keep life in perspective to be able to live our life authentically. Much of the time people live life as if it will never end, as if we will live forever. For some, they become addicted to thinking that they will continue forever, that we will never die. Even if we do not declare this overtly, our behavior appears to be in alignment with the belief in our immortality. In all of our affairs it is important for us to keep in mind that life is not forever and that we consider all of our priorities with this in mind. Given this perspective it is my opinion that it is not material concerns that are important but rather our relationships with others, with other human beings, that being of service and assistance is truly what matters in life.
