When you are born, you come into this world screaming and crying, while everyone around the is filled with transcendent joy. An ironic disconnect.

When you leave this world, you are filled with transcendent joy at returning back to eternity, while everyone left behind is struck down in unquenchable sorrow. Thus the disconnect comes full circle.

I may be a bit of an exception, as my baby book records that I smiled and cooed at age one day (the nurses flocked to see as they had never seen such a thing). On day three. it says that I appeared to laugh. A bit of a Buddha, I was.

I watched my own mother pass from this world. Yes, it removed a part of my heart and soul. My only comfort is that whatever she saw in the great beyond, within two minutes of me giving her "permission" to leave, she jumped out into the great beyond. So, that tells me that this world of brick and stone is transient, and passing in the overall scheme of things.

Babies and children do bring such joy. I work in education. This is the time of year that rainbow parades of fresh, bright, eager kid parade into the building to be tested for early entry into Kindergarten.

These are the souls who will be entering into the halls of earthly power just as I am checking out of this world, in about 30 years (i assume).

Our number one task is to leave them a world that is worth inheriting.
