… Deeds

‘He believed in individual freedom and the demands that that freedom imposed on responsible human beings. And he and his wife lived their lives accordingly’ - to live a life you love and make other people write these words in a tribute to you, probably means a fulfilment of your mission in life. The legacy, deeds, achievements, impressions that we make from different encounters with different people is what we leave behind us. If we are very lucky ending up doing something we love, and presumably being good at it, we might have some impact on the communities we live in. It doesn’t take to be a Noble prize laureate or a philanthropist to contribute to the better livelihood of other people. You can do so by a careful, cognizant observation of simple societal aspects of everyday life. People are so committed to self-preservation and personal satisfaction that they often fail to notice how ignorant they have become. Just imagine that by doing something differently in a discrete manner you can lead to enlightenment of others and/or disclosure of a hidden devil – i.e. a simple truth of our essence in this life.
