Is not man's life on earth is nothing more than pressed service, his time, no better than hired drudgery?' (Job 7:1)
Some people from time to time viewed life with a gloomy picture. To others, the complete contrary, as they view it more of a challenge which they accept. Disposed to live each day as it comes. Not expecting heaven on earth, neither do they by-pass any reasonable chance to make life a more satisfying for themselves and others. A realistic way of thinking, enough to accept their evident limitations, yet also disposed to work out problems alone if possible, and with help if necessary.
Try as we may, one cannot avoid conflicts in life. Between personal needs, wants and limitations and those of others, we face some conflicts from time to time. The deeper we to understanding of these conflict, the better our chances of maintaining a broad prospective, we will probably achieve a fuller self-possession, a wiser self management, and a more realistic solution to conflicts. Knowledge alone cannot achieve this mental, emotional and spiritual upheavals. Knowledge acquired are mere memory, without ever being absorbed into inner feelings, positive attitudes, sense of values, and healthy involvements. Probably only a prayerful reflection will bring a deeper and richer understanding and appreciation of what we already know from memory. And all it is needed in to put it into practice.
