Limited But Vital

As I commented yesterday, the events in life have very little meaning in and of themselves.  However, as many others have pointed out, the purpose of life is to grow in our ability to feel, give and receive love.  Those events are how we experience that growth and, in that way, those “trivial” events are vital.  I have found it important to fully experience and value those events, without grasping or pushing them away, to honor their importance for my path.  Because of their transience, I view the events as limited but because they teach us about love, I view them as vital.
