Things You Didn’t Know About Life on Plane Earth
I grabbed a pen and began writing my brother’s words as he spoke. Nothing would have been odd about that had Billy been sitting next to me or on the phone. But my brother had died three weeks earlier after being hit by a car. At first, I couldn’t be sure if he was real or some sort of weird grief-induced reaction to make me feel better about his departure from earth.
When Billy was alive, he was far from perfect. My bad-boy brother did a lot of things that most people would consider big mistakes. But as Billy traveled through the afterlife, not only did he describe a realm of bliss beyond all imagination, he also taught me some interesting things about life on this illusion-filled planet called earth.
Top 6 Things You Didn’t Know About Life on Plane Earth
1. JUST BECAUSE THERE’S A LOT OF PAIN IN LIFE DOESN’T MEAN YOU’VE DONE SOMETHING TO DESERVE IT.
Pain is part of the human experience, as natural as breath, or eyesight, or blood moving through your veins. Sometimes you fix one hole and another pops up. It’s supposed to be like that though, so don’t be too concerned about it. Pain is part of the earth deal.
2. THERE ISN’T JUST ONE RIGHT WAY FOR THINGS TO TURN OUT.
Some endings are happier, some not so happy, but it’s not just the happiness percentage that matters. It’s the music of it. Most people’s lives don’t have enough music. And sometimes, darkness is okay. Don’t overlook the riches contained in the darkness. Life’s very temporary, so don’t let time just pass. Let the moments fill you, the ones you judge to be good as well as bad.
