Steve Marshall Yes, it would be good if we could all learn to live in that way, and feed, as well as learn, off of each other, like that too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Even a family without stress in it, from siblings, wives, and parents, can be hard to find, at times too, not to mention, even some friends can bot us for favours, and cause us stress at times too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, learning to walk the balance beam of life is perhaps one of the most useful things that we can learn in life. An unbalanced life always leads us to some sort of a disaster,

Steve Marshall Yes, and we shouldn't force others to listen to us spouting off either, unless, they really want to listen to us. At least here, on mylot, we can read what we want to read, and agree/disagree with what we want to agree/disagree with.

Steve Marshall Yes, when we pursue things too much, we sometimes then forget to pursue God. God should be the focal point of our lives, not anything else.

Steve Marshall Which comes first though, the chicken, or the egg, the experience, or the ego, the heart, or the mind? Each part must play its part, but not try to trump any other part on the stage of life, where all parts must be allowed to play their part for us too.

Steve Marshall Yes, but to steer them along the right path, we need a heart of goodness and truth too, otherwise, experience and knowledge, can sometimes be used for wrongdoing too.

Steve Marshall @Shiva49 Yes, continual change does wear us down after a while, and we want to retreat, and take a holiday from it for a while. Retirement is meant to be such a break, a slowing down, and a hibernation from such rapid paces of change in our lives.

Steve Marshall @kanuck1 Yes, faith certainly builds from a lot of the right inputs. Prayer, Bible Study, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, certainly go a long way to building a strong faith.

Steve Marshall Yes, Buddha said something like that one must let go of their attachment, desires, and wants, if they are to experience enlightenment. We experience life fully, but without attaching our desires, and wants, to it.

Steve Marshall Yes, it is hard sometimes to know when to let go. The Zen master knew he had to let go of his pursuit to try to ride a bicycle at his advanced age.
