Don’t Live Backwards
If you haven’t ever noticed before, the word LIVE backwards
spells EVIL! What an amazing metaphor for life. If you are going backwards,
that may be the definition you have been needing for the word evil.
The word evil has always been a bit of a conundrum. I don’t
like to use the word because I think even believing it exists gives it power.
However, you can’t look around you without noticing that plenty of negativity
exists in the world.
I go back to the Book of Job in the bible. Satan was God’s
pawn in the process of testing Job. Satan wasn’t bad; he was simply doing what
God asked him to do. Satan was created as the opposing force of Good. If you
believe God is all in all and that God is the creator of all things and has a
divine purpose, you must also believe there is a reason and a purpose for evil—or
whatever you choose to call it.
When I stopped looking at the present as a moment in time
that could possibly be hurting me, taking something away from me, or be killing
me, I realized that I have no fear of death, because there is a purpose for my
life. When I stop having the purpose I’ve been put here to do, I will cease to
exist on this playing field.
I really don’t have a problem with that. I find that people
who are caught up in life and in the treasures of life as if no other purpose
exists except to bring them joy or pleasure, they are sorely disappointed in
anything negative that goes on in their lives. Big news! Negativity has its
purpose in life. And it may be here solely to teach you your biggest lesson.
As I have realized that the sun and moon don’t rise and fall
just for me, nor does the rain and thunder fall on my enemies only, life is
just life. Human existence is ephemeral and fleeting. We have a certain amount
of time to exist for a purpose; whether it be to learn a lesson, serve the
world, or to be addicted to drugs to discover a higher purpose or teach a
parent a hard lesson about codependency, we have a distinct amount of time
here.
If you don’t use it wisely, put aside the time you spend on
contemplating the past, and treasure the now as if it were all you have, then
eventually you will become depressed and angry about life. Then, once again,
you will have the opportunity to learn a lesson that could put you on the
pathway to peace, or you could choose to live backwards and form some more evil
to help you understand why and how and when all things went askew in your life.
Take a lesson from a man who has lived life from all sides
now. When I am looking down as an observer, I’m more comfortable, able to live
fully, and take advantage of every joy and opportunity that is presented to me.
Namaste.
