Creating a superior destiny in life means being of greater service. The true meaning of life is not to merely exist, but rather to be resourceful to others. When you are blessed, be a blessing. When you have power, empower. Now, that’s the true meaning of life.

There are minds I believe, who will be delighted with material collectives, but yet their soul shall be very superficial. Educating them on how little such collectives contribute to happiness is necessary to build soulful depth.

When we have faith, we pray. When we pray, we connect with our inner-being. Prayer is a powerful tool which softens the soul, which inspires calmness and which provides direction. A prayer made in silence, in a state of tranquility, is the kind of prayer I am talking about. Everything else in public is simply noise, and at times drama.

Religion has fueled a clash of civilizations since generations which has only served to escalate the magnetic madness which thrived on eccentric vengeance primarily built on historical hate drawing forth through interpretations of politics to keep people divided for ulterior motives. This has nothing really to do with God or how we conceive God to be in image and likeness.

I would urge you to take a closer look at how people died in COVID-19, before that with Ebola, SARS and MERS and much before that with AIDS. Suffering is a derivative of Christian genealogy where the human experience is closely linked to the passion of Christ. However, the singular feature marking a Christian life is how suffering gets converted to redemption. This calls for greater understanding.
