Life - the path to Enlightenment?

We are all at different stages in our lives & in our understanding of what life really is. I believe that life is a journey from birth to death, which gives each of us the opportunity to become our "best" selves. Our lives are learning experiences, good & bad, which can help is to become "Enlightened".

However, not everyone is ready to hear the messages life gives us. Or understand why we experience both wonderful & awful incidents throughout our journey.

Humans want to be happy. Today there is a huge problem because people think that happiness is their right & they should not have to suffer. I don't think it is possible for many people to be happy all the time - To be satisfied with their lot - To be content. People always strive for more. More friends, more posessions, more money, a better job, more power....Striving makes people disatisfied. If you are disatisfied you aren't happy.

Life is a lottery - Dreadful things happen. We are tested & can discover that we are able to deal with really bad events. Expecting to swan through life without any problems to cope with is naive. There has to be a balance in everything - Good & bad, positive & negative, hot & cold, black & white....It is the way the world works. We have to accept that & cope with both sides of the lottery as well as possible.

If you see life as a roller coaster of ups & downs, a series of tests & challenges, then you can put it into perspective. If you can see it as a continuous opportunity to learn & become a better you, you can reach some sort of stage of Enlightenment.

Currently there is very little Harmony. I think that is because we have forgotten what the purpose of our life on earth is - Enlightenment.
