Suffering and joy teach us, if we allow them, how to make the leap of empathy, which transports us into the soul and heart of another person. ln those transparent moments we know other people's joys and sorrows, and we care about their concerns as if they were our own.

How to get to Heaven from where you live.
When we die and go to Heaven, our Maker is not going to say, ''Why didn't you discover the cure for such and such?'' The only thing we're going to be asked at that precious moment is ''Why didn't you become you? ''

... For YOU:
Gentle Reader,
Well how was your Christmas (or whatever holy day you celebrate?) We need to clear up a few things before we can go into the next year. For example, Where are you in your life? Which is an kind way of saying what is the meaning or purpose of your life?. Or perhaps "What is man"? What is (in your humble opinion) right behaviour? And of course what is left(wrong) behaviour (or put another way ) What is sin? Where does suffering originate, and what end does it serve? How can genuine happiness be found? What happens at death? What is Judgement? What happens after death? And finally, what is the ultimate mystery, beyond human explanation, which embraces our entire existence, from which we take our origin and towards which we tend? Wow Denis What did you get for Christmas? A Game of Philosophy ?
Now, now Gentle Reader, I simply ask "What is your worldview?" Where are you headed and what is important to you? Basic questions that many never answer. Lewis Carroll said "If you don't know where your going, any road will get you there"!
What road are you taking Gentle reader? we are told that after the baby was born, the shepherds have come and gone And the wise guys had laid their gifts before the Christ Child and they too had gone home.
But not by the same route! "And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way." (Matt.2:12) The reason I believe is that once one comes to Jesus you never travel the same path!
The wise guys brought His the world's riches He gave them in exchange something priceless: a vision of what life could be- more abundant- one which they could claim that very day! What path will you take Gentle Reader?
Shall we take the right path or the left one?
Love, Denis
