Path to Heaven

[ZenitYerkes]

I talked before about this on a Stanley's thread, so I wanted to explain it properly here.

We humans love to dream, I say, we're masters of storytelling: we are able to relate real, past or imagined events; some with such ease we could even say they are happening right now when these people are talking about them. We adore to simply go far, far away to a place where none of the things going around us are important or where the situation is simply better. In this case, Avatar has shown us a new world full of beauty and authenticity.

However, when it comes to put our feet back on Earth, we usually don't like what we see; specially when we've been given a new perspective of life, we realize the way we live here has no sense. And since that very moment we have to decide:

1. Keep living the way we used to, ignoring the message we've been given
2. Live immersed in a fantasy, like a madman; where Pandora will never fade away yet Earth, where you live, becomes distant and more distant to the point of you living out of it.
3. Try to bring here a piece of that world and make ours a better place

If you go for the third option, then you're making your Path to Heaven.

When I say that, I mean you're connecting in some way earth and sky (just like Iknimaya does), reality and fantasy, life and dream. Bring some of the light of that imagined place to ours, via that path.

Another meaning it has, is that it's something that gives an absolute meaning to your life, to the point that you're working for it until you reach heaven. Literally. Seeking your Path to Heaven signifies also seeking your purpose in life.

Going up that path is not easy; but it's the only one that's worth climbing up.

And how to do it?

Get into volunteering programs.
Don't refuse to do a favor to anyone.
Care about your relatives, ask them how they are.
Love your surroundings.
Go hiking.

Do.

Don't keep staring at this screen and reading; don't be just static, sat down on your chair. Don't just look how life goes by.

Do something with it.

Act. Risk. Try. Fail and stand up.

You'll never know if you never try.
