Miracles

"There are only two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle, The other is as though everything is a miracle. I believe in the latter."
Albert Einstein

Do you beleive that there must be a logical reason for everything that happens in the world. Perhaps you beleive that if nobody knows the reason why something should happen then it doesn't. You might dismiss the paranormal as ridiculous. Of course there are no ghosts, or UFOs or mysterious happenings. There must be a logical explanation for what people have seen or experienced. There's no such thing as miracles. Science can explain everything. If you beleive this, you must be a cynical and skeptical person. You want to see the proof for everything.

There is another way to be. You can see everything as a miracle. You can gaze at what goes on around you with wide-eyed wonder. I think a great description of this kind of person (and how society tries to corrupt him) is in the Supertramp song entitled "The Logical Song". You can find ghosts and UFO's as fascinating as how someone was able to invent the computer or the car. You can marvel at mountaintops, oceans, and at bioluminescence or at bees feeding on delicate flowers. You can be in awe at how well your body works, and how you are able to enjoy art and music so much. If you are like this you are open-minded and searching for beauty. You would rather feel good than be "right."

I would choose the second way to be, just as Einstein would. To be truly successful, you need to accept that there are some things that you just don't know. Science doesn't know everything. That is why we keep on learning and exploring, and getting better.
