xygen, water, food, sunlight, day
and night: your body needs these
elements. And along with these,
there are beauties which your soul
finds pleasure in such as a beautiful view, a pleasant
face to look at, or a welcoming home.
The world is full of such blessings, but some peo-
ple are just not aware of them. They are so caught up
in their own troubles that they don't see the wonders
of the world. The reason for this negative spiritual
state is their life remote from God's religion, and their
state of disbelief. A troubled life is the inescapable re-
sult of a life not lived according to religious morals.
The approach which may be hoped to please God
is that we see all the blessings of the Earth as His gifts
to us, and that we live our lives in a state of thanks to
Him. A person who lives according to this morality
will take pleasure from the wonders and blessings
from God, and will feel them every moment
of his or her life.
