We
experience life’s fragility when one of our loved ones passes away. Then
we begin to reflect and consider that our own existence is also fragile,
realizing that our true end is not here on earth but where God will place us as
reward or punishment for our conduct here on this earth. There is
that reminder at the beginning of the Lenten Season—“Remember man that you are
dust and unto dust thou shalt return” (Gen. 3:19).
It
is good we learn to face and accept the truth as it really is and do what we
have to do in answer to the realities we face. After all, we do not
solve problems by running away from the reality of things. There is a
grain of truth in that ancient saying: “Face the situation fearlessly and there
is no situation to be faced”. A person will look irresponsible if he
or she never learns to face or accept reality as it is and then make the
necessary adjustments in his or her proper response to the real situations at
hand.
