a little more info

Someone posted this comment on a post a few weeks back..........

Such an interesting thought. This is not asking you to share your own particular behaviors that come off as an insult to life. But what kinds of things could any of us be doing that would be insulting to life. Are we insulting the gift of life?

So is it worry, or failure to appreciated the simple things of life, or is it not taking care of our bodies, or is it not guarding our thoughts? Is it getting stuck in routine and not breaking out?

Would love to hear you elaborate on this just a bit

So, to elaborate a bit....... I guess what I was thinking with the original post is that life is an enormous gift.  That every day, every moment is so special.  Some of the things that we do are harmful to life, insulting to life.  Each item mentioned by the comment I would agree are insulting to the gift of life.  Here are some other things.......

Polluting the air, killing each other, killing animals, abusing children, abusing anyone, drinking too much, driving in a hateful manner, disrespecting parents, not paying attention to the beauty of the sky or not smelling the roses.

Maybe if we personified life itself, we would live in a manner that was more kind.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
