The best things in life

        All the time, people speak about the best things in life. We consider many things in our life the best, and we denominate them things, trivial things. What kind of name do we have to choose to be the best things in life? In life, are things only things, usual stuff, usual circumstances?
        We can think about our life conditions if they are good or bad as usual things. We have to consider these events in accordance with every happening in life as well-done constructions, even if they happened under bad conditions.
          The best things in life are good and happy situations that happened to be memorized. On the other hand, worst things, bad happenings have to be forgotten. If we live these happenings they will be lessons to convert them into good things.
         If our memories lead us to the past, to a place where they are on stand by, we cannot display them hidden on a dark shelf, in a dark room to forget them. Our bright internal look goes illuminating and returning them to us.
         Things are objects that we throw out of our life without a care. The best things in life, if they are important they won’t be forgotten or ignored and won’t be put on a usual shelf like things.
          If we nominate our memories as things, including good happenings, they will be nothing. The best happenings in our life are those that lead us to the future. Even if they were the worst happenings in our life, real things that scare us they will bring us some knowledge for our survival.
         When we go to bed to sleep we should call our best memories to take care of our dreams to show us that everything that we have lived, have remembered and have told ourselves under a new perspective, they aren’t things. They are real treasuries that we keep in our minds to remind them.
        Things are names that we call our stuff … things, in fact. The word is wrong and we are using it in a wrong way, but it’s a usual expression that people use a lot when they are speaking about memories.
         Keep the best happenings in your life. The life adventures deserve to be remembered because they aren’t things and not even something to be treated with disdain.
