New Discoveries

It's quite a thing when you finally realize that you're going to live forever. Things take on a whole new meaning, almost like a dimly lit room that has suddenly for the first time been opened up with several windows, allowing sunlight to stream in on places you had either forgotten about or never noticed before. There is also no longer any "easy way out" from yourself- a book that you thought was 3 pages will be read very differently when you discover suddenly that it's a thousand (and that's just volume 1). Every person you meet, every stranger that you pass suddenly becomes a bit more important. As it turns out, they too will live forever. This person you know, or met, or casually talk to, or just pass on the street, may be the greatest of kings or queens in His kingdom- they may also be an unholy horror, full of negative energy that will either get better or worse throughout the Ages. There are no "simple" people anymore- the secret is out, the blinders are off, the curtain has not simply fallen but has disintegrated before my very eyes. We should approach every single soul with utmost seriousness . . . and maybe even a sense of awe.
