Day 2 of #260challenge


Verse of the day
Matthew 2:10
When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.  KJV

Imagine this scene: its night, you are returning from a grueling day. On second thought, since we are still in high spirits from the just ended festivities, lets say you have just had an exciting day, on your way home you see a group of adults standing on the street, eyes to the sky, jittery and excited about a star.

On hind sight, we are able to recognize and appreciate the "exceeding great joy" 3 grown men felt when they saw the star. However, are we able to do the same in our personal lives? It is important to celebrate the little victories and pleasures we encounter daily; even when they make us look weird and out of place. 

What we value, what we appreciate, become a bed rock for our value system. A value system which molds the way we interpret the experiences we have.

The queen of all media, Oprah Winfrey, has the answer;
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. 
It is good to be thankful. Even when life isn't going as you planned, be thankful. It is a sure way to chase away the dark clouds. Rejoice with exceeding great joy. You deserve to be happy

It's a lie so well crafted it has been accepted as truth, truth so strong it's absurd to think otherwise. This lie is born from man's desire to be superior to his fellow man. In his book "So You've Been Publicly Shamed", Jon Ronson makes a statement that previously went unnoticed till I read the chapter for today. He said; “I favour humans over ideology, but right now the ideologues are winning, and they're creating a stage for constant artificial high dramas, where everyone is either a magnificent hero or a sickening villain. We can lead good, ethical lives, but some bad phraseology in a Tweet can overwhelm it all - even though we know that...
