After many kilometers this is my advise:
I saw many hells on the road to paradise,
when I got there it was raining, but it was God's green earth,
the next morning, the baker stared into the rain, and my heart was filled with mirth,
his hands had no burns, he was a little fat,
and his family was there inside,
his friends came by, to me his life felt right.
-
In this life you can choose the path of the lion in his jungle, or the on his rocky tower, but you can't be on both the same hour.
you may wish for the advantages of the lion, and bemoan the disadvantages of the goat, but are you willing to forsake the benefits of the path of the goat, will you be satisfied leaving them behind?
If so, when the next bridge over comes, you may take it, but until then do not focus on the discomforts of your path, or the things you long for on the lions path.
Until the next bridge, think of the unique advantages of your current path.

In the midst of this surreal beauty of mist and butterflies, fresh flowing stream, and great mountains, I still have flashback of those I've seen suffering, bent over, trapped in a position of need, amongst vile pollution and open sewage, and wonder why, why stay there, why not continue up the path to a land of beauty where you can fish and garden, and sell things, and bake, why not leave these hells that man keeps on making, and find your way to God's creation, to a paradise ( not this place, this place has been infiltrated by the fake)
I can think of a few things that cause human suffering:
addiction
oppression by other humans
ignorance
lack of discernment of what is valuable
unhealthy environments
hatred
too much concern of mankind's opinion
not enough concern of God's opinion
selfishness
over confidence
a slowness to act, when persistent action is necessary
(I have come to the conclusion that healthy holiness, may be peaceful, but is not passive, it will take persistent discerning decisions of righteousness. I stepped chose twice but the third time not, then injured, perhaps injured others.)
I can see something that causes the feeling of peace,
I can feel it, breath it, It's the earth God made with it's many gifts,
free, free gifts, free rain, free streams, you do not buy your children or wife,
they are a gift from God,
the path of life is a gift from God,
don't stop till you get there
don't settle for a hellish existence,
don't let any pressure keep you there,
don't be dissuaded by distractions, imitations, and distance,
don't let someone talk you into another way,
but even here people are constantly smoking cigarettes, home-grown weed, anything,
smoke, smoke, smoke, HERE
God has given this clean air, washed by rain, and it is being filled with smoke,
I love the mist floating near the mountains, these beautiful clouds, these sounds of birds, the beauty of butterflies,
stop killing.enjoy life. Children are a blessing, have many with the wife of your youth. enjoy life.
and be generous, keep an open door for others to enjoy life,
to turn from the way of killing,
call out on the hellish roadsides,
invite all wretches,
be gracious to those who have been graveling for survival in the midst of mankind's mess,
bring them to sanctuaries of peace and life, and they can be happy, let them also enjoy life.

When one sees a follower of Jesus the first thought should not be "There is someone who really knows how to suffer, to sacrifice." but rather "there is someone who knows how to love." I would rejoice to see followers of Christ sharing their homes and their bread, and their stories of hope. Their wisdom, their songs of God, their appreciation for life and its giver, its redeemer. That we would call out on the paths of suffering and destruction "Come, come know a way of peace and rest, come on the path to life. We will share whatever burdens you have till you can lay them down.Come love the creator, creations redeemer, and creation. Change your path to the path of life, and enjoy all it's benefits. "And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."
