Whatever our current circumstances, involuntary suffering will most likely touch all of our lives. How we live with it, when it’s experienced and how we help others who are experiencing it… will certainly reflect on how we’ve lived our lives.

The majority of us, if not all human beings, have a need to expand… but keep in mind that expansion can and does come in many forms, both positive and negative.
Whether this need is met through earning more money and higher promotions, buying and collecting more things, earning more awards and accolades or simply continuing to earn a higher and higher education – we all seek self-expansion.
It’s best to direct this need for self-expansion in a positive manner; to expand our personal base of specific knowledge, and then to apply this knowledge, would be a positive example… to expand our personal possessions, at the expense of our savings account and personal security, would be a negative example.
Productive and meaningful self-expansion is important to our personal success and our level of contentment as well… this powerful influence should be directed thoughtfully and not misused.
