Spirits In A Material World

There are times when I feel like I am alone in the world. I am with Hal and The Stooges, but we seem to exist in our own little world. Most of this is my own fault because I chose the path of Kindness, which automatically separates me from so many other people. 

Hal and I have been together for twenty-four wonderful years, more than most of our “married” friends. Our focus is on each other and how we can make our life together better than it already is. Strangely enough, almost none of our efforts are focused on material possessions. Instead, we each are grateful for each other, and for the things we already have that you cannot put a price on, such as love and Kindness, compassion and caring for each other. We know couples who spend their every waking minute having material possessions, they put together a superficial image that things are great, but we’ve seen through the charade when we overheard them arguing about what else they thought they needed. 

We’ve seen others who pursue the approval of others to validate their own decisions. These people turn out miserable because they are striving to please others instead of themselves.
