Everything, Kate and Alex, is relative…everything can be defined with either pure faith and belief…or pure logic and reasoning from only that point and instance you perceive and observeit…it does not however make it the truth, and beyond that very instance may not confirm or deny anything. Galileo first pointed out that our perception of reality is essentially relative to our observable environment…what he and others would later prove is that the vast majority of the forces at play in your life are imperceptible…they can not be felt, seen, heard, smelled or tasted by our simple human senses. Indeed we tend to fill 99% of our observable world with all the assumptions and perceptions we have come to accept and created over the fullness of time, it turns out, for our own sanity and basic human functioning…mostly because if we did not, it would be impossible for us make sense or manage the world in which we exist – in fact, many would suggest we could not be sentient (self-aware) otherwise…so, stop and think for a moment about what this really means. The important lesson here…understand that everything may not always be as it seems…and that this is okay, and that somethings are best left misunderstood, quickly forgotten and even sometimes just simply ignored. Please don’t fret about the things you can’t control or fear of the unknown…there is really no point in it – instead focus on that 1% that really matters – that slice of world as you see it that is pure and uncompromised…it will be more than enough. Choose to live in that moment and appreciate it through all those human senses you can experience…and embrace with it everything that is mystical, magical, unknown and dreamed…because that is where you will find the greatest happiness, purpose and peace.

About Lawrence Lewis
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
