All of us are actors on a stage. And as we make our entrance onto the stage, we know that sooner or later we will have to exit it. In this sense life is but a performance. Shouldn’t we then perfect our craft and make the most of it while we are in the limelight? And just like the actor who finishes his performance and exits the stage doesn’t cease to exist, so does man who exits his physical life and returns to being himself.

All of us have arrived to this life with a wonderful gift. The gift of living. To share this gift with others by giving a part of ourselves to them is to retribute a blessing that was given to us for free. He who is all loving and kind has breathe upon us and gave each and every one of us a part of all that He himself is. A miracle has been bestowed upon us and for that reason the genuine prayer is not the one who asks for, but the one who thanks for – the one who thanks for everything that he has, for being a part of this wonderful journey with all its goods and its bads, its highs and its lows.

As we know love and happiness, so will we know hate and pain. This way we will never forget the precious gift that we possess, a gift that needs to be maintained and taken care of. Only by sharing the gift of life with others will we truly repay Him for His love and kindness. To share is to love.
