I view life in three stages: first, we engage in formal learning; second, actively earning, and third, we should be returning and sharing our wisdom.
At the end of earthly life, we often gather to celebrate the life led. But, we who are living should view our third stage of life as the living celebration of our life-giving back not only to those around us but to the world as a whole.
Sharing our deep gain wisdom, the challenges we faced and won and lost, and lessons learned. Helping others gain the insight we earned and knowledge of the meaning of life and how to bring the greater good to those on this planet we call home.
In the words of Viktor Frankl, let us remember: “I grasped the meaning of the greatest secret that human poetry and human thought and belief have to impart: The salvation of man is through love and in love.”
