To live life and enhance it is the biggest miracle of all

Miracles are not made, they happen. One doesn’t need a single incident to be termed as a miracle, your whole life is one. It depends on how you take life on and how you understand it. You were born, you were well brought up, you are educated since you are reading this, you have food to eat on your table, a place to live in, you are loved by your friends and family .

What I mean to say is why do we wait for a miracle to happen to change our lives, why can’t our lives be considered one. To be born is a miracle in itself as many are not. But to live and enjoy life with its ups and downs is a bigger miracle.

Why don’t we embrace life — ours and others alike. We are humans, we are evolved and we are thinkers. Why then must we do things that pull us back and push us into oblivion. We become so selfishly blind in thoughts and actions, consumed with our desires and woes that we forget that as human beings we are the provider, the keeper and the nourisher.

We forget our roles in this universe. We succumb to the forces of evil and hatred. We become selfish and inhumane. We forget to cohabitate, we forget that we are the miracle created by the Almighty!

He made us to make a better world, he gave us the power to think and ideas help to enhance his being and that of the entire human race, but we are so caught up in our individual­ly selfish needs that we forget to be patient and kind, we forget to be unselfish, we forget to be humane and humble, we forget to be that miracle. So let us all make a combined effort to be that miracle that we all search for and talk about.
