THE ULTIMATE CONSTANTS

Well, I know this blog is mainly about the dynamic changes in life but it is good once in a while to take notes from the other extreme end; what I like to call The Ultimate Constants. I know the cliche element we have been brought to understand to be the constant in life is love. That is why we have so many talk shows, series and movies revolving around love, which, in some other people's interpretation is sex oriented hence the phrase "Sex sells". However, I think this view is  misleading and needs some deeper analysis.
That being mentioned, what do you consider to be the constant in life? Is it necessarily an emotion or could it be an element all in all? Think about it! No matter how far off you are pushed, what is that one thing in you that does not change?
This week's reflection led to the formation of a theory; yeah you heard right...a theory about those emotions that remain constant despite the social stratification we have been subjected to. This is just one opinion and hence you do not have to take it as the Bible truth. So emotion #1 is...**drum-rolls please...FEAR!
I know what you are thinking already and that is because you have been led to believe that fear is a bad thing but let me shake that belief a little bit...In my own opinion, fear is a good emotion cause it makes us cautious and even keeps some individuals grounded.If some people did not have fear they would be over their heads and beating their chests everyday. Think about it this way, you can be happy today but you fear that that happiness may not last as long as you may want it to. You can be sad, and fear that you may never be happy again an that the sadness is there to stay. You can be rich and fear that poverty awaits tomorrow and on the other hand you can be poor and fear you will remain in that state for eternity.

After all this is said and done, what is the way forward in order to live a stress-free life? This where emotion #2; HOPE comes in. Hope comes in like a blossoming flower. It's petals are fresh...the scent is enticing. Without hope you will keep on looking over your shoulder so always keep your head up and have the conviction that God always gives you a second chance called Tomorrow. So the theory is clear and simple: The ultimate constants in life are...FEAR and HOPE!! It's your choice on which one you will let prevail your life. I hope you enjoyed the read and feel free to post some comments!!!
