Life is. . .
From the first page of Scott Peck’s book, The Road Less Travelled ,
"Life is difficult. This is a great truth, one of the greatest truths".
(Peck gives reference to Budhha's first of four noble truths, Life is suffering)
"It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters".
Life is what it is - both difficult and easy, and many other aspects that are polar opposites of one another. But life is what we have to live today and we can choose how we live it.
I choose to make the best of today!
