Reading perspectives here is very interesting.

I accidently fell into the pursuit of understanding trying to understand "who am I" and "what does this all mean" about 5 years ago. You learn what you can, read what you find and surf where the browser takes you. I bought a book titled "Who Am I?" by a guy from Chicago, Leonard Ingram, I think is his secular name. A good read!

The idea of ego comes into life so often. What you want, what you need, what you think you deserve. Me... me.. me and the importance of "me" and that the "me" of me, deserves something... better, bigger, more.  You deserve an illness free life, so when you get sick you are sad and disappointed. You get old and become unattractive so you are disappointed. Your hard-fought climb up the corporate ladder has resulted in a huge bank loss and now you are mowing yards for a living and the grease on your shirt does not jive with what you think you deserve.

Is this correct? Hell I don't know!  What I know do know is that people with lower expecations are happier. People who "expect nothing so they won't be disappointed" are wise.

There are no guarantees in life and the idea that we can even grasp any concept, think, read and experience is a miracle. Try to worry less and expect less. It's hard to do.  But when you do all the good stuff is cause for a celebration! Practice and know you're ego is not who you really are.
