A Divine Existence

I believe a man must give his life over to something other than himself to be set free.

The more I go through life, the more I understand that giving your life over to your offspring might be the only truly divine existence available on this planet.

Hello rhinogrey,
It is not so much that we should give our life over to our children, as it is creating a nurturing foundation that will allow the child to find his own way. We don't know how to do that because for that to happen we must understand the role of the family. The biological family, not the many facsimilies we have created we call families. I heard once it is difficult to learn that which shouldn't be taught and we have created an education system that does that very thing. For a child is to "survive" in this world we force him into a situation where he "must" learn that which supports a very failing "status quo". That has been the process for generations and generations. The child is the most valuable resouce on the planet and we treat him like an afterthought. Understandable considering the parents, if he is lucky enough to have both, are burning the candle at both ends trying to survive in that very same failing status quo. it's time we change the whole damn thing before the light in the tunnel goes completely out.

Divine Existence equates for me true altruism live in the light of gods eternal love, do not hurt others. By this I don't mean passive not hurting,it must go further than that we must try our best to educate our beloved ones friends peers or any entity that comes across our paths, to avoid possible pitfalls in the future
