(Because of Betty White’s love and advocacy for animals, a lot of her fans are giving to their favorite animal charity of choice today, in her honor. What a great plan!)
Happy 100th birthday to Betty White in Heaven! I can imagine that it is quite the celebration going on.
I am a long time subscriber to “Spirituality and Health” magazine. My favorite column is an advice column written by Rabbi Rami Shapiro. A reader recently wrote to Rami, asking for ideas for “standards by which to live.” Rami answered that it is written in The Talmud, which is an anthology of ancient wisdom from/for rabbis, that we will all have to answer these four questions when we die:
Did you take time to pursue wisdom?
Did you cultivate love and friendship?
Did you treat people honestly?
Did you yield to hope more often than you gave into despair?
In short, he told his reader, live your life devoted to these four tenets: wisdom, love, honesty and hope.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
