Look at number 2b above. This in my opinion is the answer to life. When someone asks the meaning of life, I have no answers just suppositions. However when someone asks me what I think the answer to life is, that my friends is simplicity itself………………………Perspective.
Knowing where YOUR circumstances and position in life as compared with the rest of the people on earth. Most people get stuck in a loop of thinking about themselves in their own microcosm. Is it ok? Sure, however when you do you lack and often lose perspective. I lose and lack it every day, however I usually get back on track eventually.
