One billion souls hankering for expressions

At last count, there are about one billion Internet surfers. Now, what do one billion do in the borderless realm that stretches from one end of the earth to the other?
We function in our own little cocoons, in our little study room, at the Starbucks outlet or in our indifferent spacious office environment. The nicest thing to come out of this wonder Internet phenomenon is the realisatioin that we are indeed not alone.
Suddenly, we secure the knowledge that everyway people crave basically the same things we do. We are not so strange after all. We all want continued good health. We want perpectual financial security. We desire the best things in life for our families and ourselves.
Some of us will achieve that. The rest of us will die trying. Pun intended. Good health is not a privilege but a right that must be earned. There are an exception few who come from good family stock and they do not succumb to diseases and viruses that easily as the next person.
The rest of us will have to take a major dose of common sense and not be reckless with our own lives. People live and die. There's nothing unusual about this. For every baby born unto this life, many more lives will have to be noted down in the death registry.
I have discussed this subject of good health with many friends and family members. All of us are in agreement that we want to remain healthy if at all possible up till the day we die.
But life on earth obeys certain dictates that have been laid down since time immemorial. The Law of Longevity states that for a man to have a relatively trouble-free life, he must look after his health. He must do so in the manner most sensible to him.
In other words, he has to build a strong temple for his spirit. His body must be strong just as a building has to be strong if it doesn't want to be blown down by a Category Four hurricane.
A man has to lead a healthy lifestyle. In other words, no excessive drinking, skip the smoking, don't make worry a major part of your career and eat sensibly for the rest of your natural life.
How many of us can do that? Not many, even though the advice seems simple enough. I was just talking to an office colleague about an hour ago. The subject was daily exercise. He admitted that exercising on a daily basis was essential for healthy living but he also quickly confessed that he was lazy.
I suggested a person should not indulge in worry too easily or excessively. Again, he admitted he's a worrier.
Certain things you can't avoid. For example, the race into which you were born. The body you are now in and possess. The country you were born in, and the family you have. These are beyond your free will.
The rest however you can do something about. In fact, you can do a lot about. Your health, for example. You can work your way to everlasting good health here on this planet.
If you succeed you can teach others to follow the same path. Whether or not, they take up your offer, is another story. The word is you are in a position to help others.
Helping others to live a good life is your duty. It will enhance your own life. That is one of the world's greatest secrets. And yet so few know about this. The problem is most of us are too preoccupied with ourselves.
We think the whole world evolves around us. Wrong! We make the world what it could be for us. We change things around us. We are the fate changers, if ever there is such a term.
You can blog till you are 120 years old and you still won't be able to reach where you want to go, unless you help the others to reach their own desired goals first.
Sounds strange, doesn't it? Don't believe me. Try it for yourself. Life is short. You can no longer tally and wait for the double rainbow to appear. You create your own rainbow. Anything is possible here on earth, as decreed by heaven.
