The Amphora of life

[Guest guest]

THE AMPHORA OF LIFE

We are going up by our own efforts, no one can do for us.

 

The world is ready as a large Amphora, within which those who inhabit

our agitation unabated. Each community and each school, workshop,

office, factory every home,town, city, nation and is in constant

motion and eternal transformation.

 

This movement is similar agitation as when a pot containing objects

of the same species but of different sizes, let's see how the Law of

Gravitation places in each object as it relates to their size, small

at the bottom, the middle medium and large top. The same law that

precipitated the fund to small objects and encumber up to the big

meet and thus consciously or unconsciously with each of us the goal

of the great Amphora of Life.

 

This Law of Moral Gravitation raises and maintains some beings above

others and precipitates others and keep them low It brings to each

one to their own place is up to our respective moral size. The inert

objects when they are in its site they do not move, there are left.

Instead we can move in size and thus place; no matter how low we born

into the world: if we descend, the law of Gravitation will take you

down, if we grow, we climb up.

 

Is natural that the man has the tendency to ascend. but not all are

willing to pay the price that it costs, not everyone wants to undergo

a prerequisite to gain size,developing the moral, intellectual and

physical faculties; and becoming qualified to deserve the ascend.

Some, thanks to the blind force of a disorder or thank to a favour

encumbering themselves to achieve the greatest height but is not the

real position for them. But, having risen does not prevent the fall,

sooner or later, down again, often in the sad form . Nobody can

deceive to the Amphora of the Life, their laws are blind and

implacable for being laws morals and therefore we cannot alter them

like the written ones in the human statutes.

 

Where they will turn the amphora of Life, agitation and classifying

the men according to their moral size . We will see people going up

and down . Who are these that go step by step? , moving forward

slowly but surely? Maybe they will be the future of large Amphorae.

Ones that have a fixed idea: grow and developed, but not with the

greatness of evil or ill-conceived power, which only combine elements

and materials which does not fall into any moral element.

 

Now look at who descended.

They will distinguish between the believers of any power less of

themselves, the cowardly, vain, corrupt, those who want everything

taken by surprise or assault; and the fatalistic, to idolatry and

fakers Among them distinguish some apparently encumbered, but by its

cordage have caused the shaking of amphorae, the Law of Gravitation.

intention. The world let drop and dying everything that is apparently

vain, everything that is not for the human race a virtue or a good-

intention and healthy.

 

But whatever the positions, if we want to stay there, we must

maintain our size. If we become insufficient to occupy it, we will go

down inexorably. There is some living being who can subsist and

develop without nurtured?They do not stop to grow, but only to

conserve life, we have to compensate the losses by attrition. The

attrition is natural in men as in things. The routine life we have to

leave to go ahead, doing different things every day, because if we

accommodate our current state we go down. If we continue fed with the

same thoughts, doing things in the same way, the juice of our life

evaporates. The routine in life needs a nutrient every day. The

secret of perpetual backwardness of many individuals is their

compliance with their state. All we have to improve because we can do

it. The teacher, the worker, civil servant, the executive, the

ruling, the soldier, the priest, we all need to learn new things and

seek new opportunities for advancement, because otherwise we

fossilized.

 

Overtaking in life means more than just more income or better

position, more than just acquiring land and wealth. To acquire wealth

is only a sign of our progress. The real progress is not translatable

into figures. With knowledge, skill, experience we can acquire

material wealth, but with banknotes we can not buy the moral

perfection. An unexpected event can suddenly bring a fortune, but we

can never acquire a big moral suddenly, the work of our moral

advancement, is a patient work for everyday

 

But we can make grow our interior, even without leaving the work

which sustain us even a modest one, because we need become bigger

internal rather than external . That greatness is not measured in

inches, money, votes or applause or any kind of measure. We go above

of the ignorance to the knowledge; of the twisted inclinations to the

good habits; of the disorder and the dissipation to the discipline;

of the nonsense to discretion; of the diffidence and cowardice to

courageous; of the negligence to hardworker; of the insufficiency to

the capacity; of the inconsistency to the consistency; of the

frivolity to the sanity; of the intolerance to the understanding; of

the egoism to the generosity; of the moral servitude to the dominion

of the passions; of the vice to the virtue; of the smallness to the

greatness. We go above by our own effort, nobody can do it by us.

 

Every era of our life is preparation. All learning is a set of

principles rather than conclusions, and so we reached each summit is

the beginning of the next ascent. . In the upward path, the limit is

infinity. There is no other goal. There is no fullness of perfection,

grandeur or wisdom in a moment of human life. Isaac Newton after

giving the world the new science of universal gravitation

exclaimed: " It seems to be a child who plays with a few pebbles on

the seashore, while the great ocean of truth lies unexplored all

before me. " So often expressed the wisdom and internal evolution.

 

Do all we can go up?

 

Some of us have begun the life in the height, to flower of amphora,

in comfort, privilege, the shelter of the wealth, a name or a

position. Others however have begun very down, from the bottom, where

the pile of unknown misery and nothingness. Huge rocks are

underpinning a mountain, but the smallness of an ant is no more

greatness because there is a power of movement and change in it.

Whatever the place where we are we have a prerogative: grow, develop,

move, that is raised. And when the incessant movement of the amphora,

the world sees it climb. The large-scale leading to unlimited heights

of perfection and progress, partly directly from the place where now

resting our feet. With the next step we can climb another step. We

must give the first, now!

 

But everyone wants to climb rapidly: the majority would like to raise

in one fell swoop ten or fifty steps. Recklessness caused the

failures definitive. Many who have audacity to reckless leaps, are

unable to climb patiently one to one, little steps. There are

resolved to climb this way and the great leap when they fall badly.

The higher the altitude, the more serious fall.

By the way it does not mean that a man does not have experienced

failures in their attempts to climb. Some falls are beneficial,

moreover, are necessary.

 

We returned to our first step, climb the first step, make the first

effort to resolve the difficulty , which comes to us first encounter,

which may well be our own non-acceptance to undergo a discipline. We

have to go to target an inch to an inch, step by step, and as we move

ahead, we will discover the next step, and the next best and

affirming our feet and our balance.

 

As discuss and resolve the difficulties that arise, our burden will

be lighter, more bearable and continue courageous, taking a maturity

in our favor rather than stimulates progress towards the ideal that

illuminates our lives. As we become more engaged in our own skills

and more capable, the obstacles are bailing, goes down, because we

see them from above, with more comprehensive and accurate vision. And

every day becomes more worthy of living, because our horizons widen

as we climb.
