Living Your Life: The Sacred Game of Existence

[shazam]

Thank you, High Priest ZM. These words fill my soul with a desire to live life to the fullest. This is undoubtedly one of my favorite sermons—it’s so beautiful, and so true! May the Gods bless you!

HAIL ZEUS! HAIL SATYA!

I understand the idea, but I struggle to see the beauty in all the suffering. Knowing we’ll lose our loved ones, or face heartbreak, makes life feel less meaningful to me, not more. I’d find meaning in the possibility of it being eternal, not in its promised ending.

Life is meaningful because we know its opposite. We see beauty because we know ugliness. We know love because we know the loss of love. We appreciate life because the end exists. And Eternity becomes sacred because we lived through transience. Eternity only holds meaning when you becomes strong enough to live through life in its entirety every moment of every seconds, every second forever.

Learning to live life properly means knowing all aspects of it and overcoming all of it. To refine love until you reach its perfection. To refine beauty to its perfection. To refine the self until perfection. And the refinement must exist in transience because without it there is no eternity. And without eternity then transience loses its purpose. All things exist in exactness and navigating the world is our journey. And if it must be navigated, then why not choose to play otherwise suffering simply becomes pain without meaning.
