252-About timing in our lives- Buddhism in daily life

About timing in our lives Buddhism and timing About timing in our lives Imagine you are driving down a road in a car, a car in the opposite lane leaves the lane, rolls over and crashes head-on into your car. Do you see the overturning car coming towards you, can you imagine this situation? Or you drive along the same road 2 minutes earlier, when then the other car overturns, you are already decisive meters away, nobody crashes into your car. Buddhists say "karma", other people "luck or bad luck", maybe the word "fate" comes up. Surely it is worth to think about it once, about the timing, about our "karma". Here it is of no use to ask: "why me, why did he crash into my car?" "why didn't I turn at the corner before like I usually do?" You are not unlucky (or lucky), but you arrived at this place according to your "karma", nothing could change your "karma", it came as it had to come. The view on trifles like "timing" should make us more relaxed, let us recognize the nature of things, and be an impulse to reflect about important things. 2 minutes or 2 meters, small things can determine life and death, joy or unhappiness. Nothing we can do, nothing remains, everything crumbles to dust, we, the car, even the road, everything will crumble. If we think about it, it is much easier to determine the values in life correctly. So what is really important? And what is important to you? What do you want to achieve? Personally, I think that the only important thing is "enlightenment"! Creating the conditions for the very big journey. Are you interested?
