          Well, thank you prettydarkhorse.
          
          Being "blessed" isn't why? I am thankful for anything.
          
          "I Think, Therefore I Am!"
          
          I Am My Own Individual ("GOD",per se) Person, because I Guide Myself.
          
          And, Like Jesus Christ originally said- "Worship NO FALSE God!", and I don't.
          
          However, I have no religious ties to any religion or religious group.
          
          Jesus Christ wasn't a teacher of religion.
          
          He was a teacher of Consciousness. Who taught follower during the most ridiculous "MYSTICISM" age of humankind.
          
          He made people realize that they answer to no one, other than themselves.
          
          I understand that- there I am Thankful.

    JYOTI KOTHARIposted 14 years ago

    Yes, I am thankful.
    
    1. According to Jainism, it is very difficult to get incarnation as human. Most of the souls are incarnated as creatures, animals and beasts. I have born as human and this is the most auspicious and precious. I am thankful for that.
    
    2. I am thankful because I have got the second rarest quality in the universe i.e. ability of listening. I can listen to any body and acquire knowledge through that. I am thankful for obtaining that inherent quality.
    
    3. Yes, I am thankful because I have obtained the third rarest quality in the universe i.e. faith.
    
    I have faith on right things and right words. I can listen to and can have faith and belief to those right things.
    
    I have acquired fourth rarest quality partially i.e. to act upon right things. I am persuading to act fully.
    
    (sacred Jain texts say these four are the rarest qualities and virtues in the universe that lead a person to salvation).
    
    Thanks,

          Virtue? Is a man-made concept and define.
          
          There is only right and wrong, moral and immoral.
          
          You live morally, which means you live doing right, you'll live happy.
          
          You live immorally, which means you live doing wrong, you'll have false happiness at the cost of your humanity.
          
          Seek no guidance other than your own through understanding your own human consciousness.
          
          Life is Eternal, but not in the manner in which you think.
          
          The sooner humankind understands that- the sooner, we(ALL) can live much better lives.

             Hi Cagsil,
             Thanks for your reply. You are all the way with me and not contradicting.
             
             This is my quote:
             "I have faith on right things and right words. I can listen to and can have faith and belief to those right things."
             
             and this is yours:
             "There is only right and wrong, moral and immoral.
             
             You live morally, which means you live doing right, you'll live happy."
             
             I see no contradiction between these.
             
             Thanks again for supporting right words and right things.
