I hope you had an enjoyable Easter! I underline that word "enjoyable" because God intends us to enjoy this life and live it to the hilt.
Much is being written about life after death, and I do believe that life does not end at the grave. But survival is an empty victory unless it is based on what is enjoyable, virtuous and responsible here and now.
Get your priorities in order. Your life is of inestimable value. Rage against anything that shrivels your soul or withers your spirit.
How's this for a Pearl of Value from Ruther Rendell, a mystery writer:
"Happiness makes so much difference to people. It doesn't just make them happy, it makes them more intelligent, more aware, more alert, while unhappiness deadens, dulls and stupefies."
Read Matthew 5:3-11 again, and substitute "happy" for the world "blessed". Does that little change make more sense to you?
Cheers,
Richard
