"This world is not my home, I'm only passing through" the old song proclaimed. Sometimes this is the only view one can have when reality rears it's ugly head from it's partially concealed hiding place. Positive attitudes; festivities; busy schedules; escapism entertainment; alcohol; drugs; and other blinders can only hide and conceal for so long, but eventually it surfaces and devastates some aspect of the life of every single person (some more than others)!
One thing we should continually be aware is that though we may be experiencing the best day of our life, there are many other people who's same day is filled with tragedy, devastation, and pain. Our awareness, empathy and compassion should be brought into play at appropriate times, as we are able and willing to help and assist. That is what "loving our neighbor as we do our self" is all about.
We are all only passing through. There's no 2nd chance.
