Stepping Back

Living your life is the first rule of life for all creatures in the universe. It is the reason you are alive and the reason you are here. This is the world of the everyday things you must do in order to stay alive. Failing to live in this world is forsaking the duty of all mortal creatures in their quest for immortality.

But it is everyone’s secondary responsibility to step back every now and then and take a look at that life which you are living and see it from the outside. Here is the realm of introspection and the witnessing of the past and the present from an objective vantage point in order to ensure a better future. This is where wisdom reigns.

The first life can be lived without the other, but it should not. The second life cannot be lived without the first. Living both lives will guarantee your place in the many lives to come as an enlightened creature sharing the vast cosmos with others.
