Lekatt Thoughtful Living

All things big and small in this world pass. They are born, grow strong, get old, falter and die.

Great civilizations follow this pattern, what happened to the Mesopotamia civilization, where are the Etruscans, the Aztecs, the Mayans, the great Roman empire, the Celts, or the pyramid builders of ancient Egypt. They are all gone. We read about them in the history books, as future children will read about us and our civilizations.

Mankind builds countries, and the borders change faster than cartographers can keep up with them. Wars destroy countries and swallow them up into other countries. Wars destroy whole civilizations.

We build organizations, government, religious, social, and benevolent to watch them wither away and die. Cities, towns, metropolises, and within them corporations, companies, factories, stores, and recreations that dwindle and eventually pass, or change into something unrecognizable.

Even continents break apart, drift, and become ocean bottom. Atlantis, Mu, Eden, and Base earth are gone. What was once lush green forests, become deserts, and deserts become meadows of grass and lakes. Mountains are brought down into valleys, and canyons rise up to become hills.

There is nothing permanent in this world, all is temporary. A great stage upon which we act out our physical lives, a classroom of learning who we are, our purpose and meaning. We learn to love here, to respect and love others, to become greater than when we entered.

While we are in the world, we are not of the world. We are not temporary. Being eternal we will live beyond this world and many more. Learning is our pursuit, and love our destination.
