The email from the boy began: <b>“Did anything inspire you
to create <i>Hallelujah</i>?" </b><div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="460" data-total-count="460">
<br />
Later that same winter day the reply arrived:<b><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> </span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">“I wanted to stand with those who clearly see God’s holy broken world
for what it is, and still find the courage or the heart to praise it.
You don’t always get what you want. You’re not always up for the
challenge. But in this case — it was given to me. For which I am deeply
grateful.”</span></i></b></div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="219" data-total-count="1022">
The
question came from the author's son, who was preparing to present the hymn to his fifth-grade class. The boy required a
clarification about its meaning. The answer came from the author of the
song, Leonard Cohen.<br />
</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="519" data-total-count="1541">
Cohen lived in a weather of wisdom, which he created by seeking it rather
than by finding it. He swam in beauty, because in its transience he
aspired to discern a glimpse of eternity.<br />
There was always a trace of
philosophy in his sensuality.<br />
He managed to combine a sense of absurdity
with a sense of significance, a genuine feat.<br />
He was a friend
of melancholy but an enemy of gloom, and a
renegade enamored of tradition.</div>
<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="305" data-total-count="1846" id="story-continues-1">
Leonard
was, above all, in his music and in his poems and in his tone of life, <i>
the lyrical advocate of the finite and the flawed. </i></div>

<div class="story-body-text story-content" data-para-count="305" data-total-count="2881">
Leonard
sang always as a sinner. He refused to describe sin as a failure or a
disqualification. Sin was a condition of life.<i> </i><br />
<br />
<i>“Even though it all went wrong/
I’ll stand before the Lord of song/ With nothing on my tongue but
Hallelujah!”</i></div>

confer a mortal integrity upon his exclamation of praise. </span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">He is the
inadequate man, the lowly man, the hurt man who has given hurt,
insisting modestly but stubbornly upon his right to a sacred exaltation.</span></i><br />

<b>Here is<span style="background-color: yellow;"><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> a passage on frivolity</span></i></span> by a great rabbi

<br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>“Man was born for toil, since
his perfection is always being actualized but is never actual,” </b></span><br />
<b>he
observed in an essay on <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>frivolity.</i></span></b><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>“And insofar as he attains
perfection, something is missing in him.</b> <b> In
such a being,<i> </i></b></span><br />
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><b><i>perfection is a shortcoming and a lack.”</i></b></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Leonard Cohen

made imperfection gorgeous.</b></span></i></div>

<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Conclusion:</span></span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A sense of purpose in life also gives you this considerable advantage:</span></span></b></div>
<span style="background-color: yellow;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>"People with a sense of purpose in life have a lower risk of death and cardiovascular disease."</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The conclusions come from over 136,000 people who took part in 10 different studies.</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="float: right; margin-left: 5px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 5px;">

</div>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Participants in the studies were mostly from the US and Japan.</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">The US studies asked people:</span></b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>how useful they felt to others,</b></li>
<li><b>about their sense of purpose, and</b></li>
<li><b>the meaning they got out of life.</b></li>
</ul>
<b><br /><br />The Japanese studies asked people about ‘ikigai’ or whether their life was worth living.</b><br />
<b>The participants, whose average age was 67, were tracked for around 7 years.<br /><br />During that time almost 20,000 died.</b><b>
</b><br />
<b>But, amongst those with a strong sense of purpose or high ‘ikigai’, the risk of death was one-fifth lower.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Despite the link between sense of purpose and health being so intuitive, scientists are not sure of the mechanism.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Sense of purpose is likely to improve health by strengthening the body against stress.</b><br />
<br />
<b>It is also likely to be linked to healthier behaviours.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Dr. Alan Rozanski, one of the study’s authors, said:</b><br />
<blockquote>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>“Of note, having a strong sense of life purpose has long
been postulated to be an important dimension of life, providing people
with a sense of vitality motivation and resilience.</b></span></i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Nevertheless, the medical implications of living with a high or low
sense of life purpose have only recently caught the attention of
investigators.</b></span></i></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>The current findings are important because they may open up new
potential interventions for helping people to promote their health and
sense of well-being.”</b></span></i></blockquote>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>This research on links between <a href="http://www.spring.org.uk/2014/05/a-sense-of-purpose-helps-you-live-longer.php">sense of purpose in life and longevity</a> is getting stronger all the time:</b></span><br />
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><b>“A 2009 study of 1,238 elderly people found that those with a sense of purpose lived longer.</b></li>
<li><b>A 2010 study of 900 older adults found that those with a greater
sense of purpose were much less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease.</b></li>
<li><b>Survey data often links a sense of purpose in life with increased happiness.</b></li>
</ul>
<b>No matter what your age, then, it’s worth thinking about what gives your life meaning.”</b><br />

RAVENS ARE CLEVER ENOUGH TO HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR AND TO BE MISCHIEVOUS. </div>
</div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Ravens in the Tower of London</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><br /><b><br />According to legend, the Kingdom of England will fall if the ravens of the Tower of London are removed.</b></i></span><br /><br />
<div>
<b>It had been thought that there have been at least six ravens in residence at the tower for centuries.</b></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>The earliest known reference to a Tower raven is a picture in the newspaper The Pictorial World in 1883.</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This and scattered subsequent references, both literary and visual, which appear in the late nineteenth to early twentieth century, place them near the monument commemorating those beheaded at the tower, popularly known as the “scaffold.” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This strongly suggests that the ravens, which are notorious for gathering at gallows, were originally used to dramatize tales of imprisonment and execution at the tower told to tourists by the Yeomen Warders.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is evidence that the original ravens were donated to the tower by the Earls of Dunraven, perhaps because of their association with the Celtic raven-god Bran. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However wild ravens, which were once abundant in London and often seen around meat markets (such as nearby Eastcheap) feasting for scraps, could have roosted at the Tower in earlier times. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During the Second World War, most of the Tower's ravens perished through shock during bombing raids, leaving only a mated pair named "Mabel" and "Grip." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shortly before the Tower reopened to the public, Mabel flew away, leaving Grip despondent. A couple of weeks later, Grip also flew away, probably in search of his mate. The incident was reported in several newspapers, and some of the stories contained the first references in print to the legend that the British Empire would fall if the ravens left the tower. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since the Empire was dismantled shortly afterward, those who are superstitious might interpret events as a confirmation of the legend. Before the tower reopened to the public on 1 January 1946, care was taken to ensure that a new set of ravens was in place. </div>

</b> <b>Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.</b><br />

<b><br />
</b> <b>It is not that someone else is preventing you from living happily;</b><br />
<b>You yourself do not know what you want. Rather than admit this, </b><br />
<b>you pretend that someone is keeping you from excercising your liberty.</b><br />
<b>Who is this? It is yourself.</b><br />

<b>Depressed people are caught in a feedback loop in which distorted thoughts cause negative feelings, which then distort feelings further.</b><br />
<br />
<b>You can break the cycle by changing the thoughts.</b><br />
<br />
<b>A big part of cognitive therapy is training clients to catch the thoughts and distortions and then find alternative and more accurate ways of thinking.</b><br />
<b><br />
</b> <br />
<b>Over many weeks,the client's thoughts become more realistic. The feedback loop is broken and the client's anxiety or depression abates.</b><br />

.. we cultivate in our culture: the pursuit of perfection.. reinforced in the media, in TV ads, magazines and newspapers. Everyone is at risk ...cultural messages feed the deepest insecurity in ourselves and encourage us to hold ourselves to an impossible standard: perfection.<br />
<br />
Balance those external expectations with reality.<br />
<br />
...psychological maturity includes awareness, self-regulation, responsibility, interdependence, honesty and integrity. <div><br />
</div><div>Psychological maturity requires the ability to willingly shift our perspective and to have an adaptive healthy self-esteem. These qualities can only be cultivated through our inner quest for self-knowledge.<br />
<br />
Some people are obsessed with the continuous pursuit of flawlessness...as addicted to the pursuit of perfection similar to being addicted to a drug or any other destructive behavior. As Marion Woodman, Jungian analyst and author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Addiction-Perfection-Unravished-Psychological-Psychology/dp/0919123112">"Addiction to Perfection,"</a> wrote,<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br />
"Perfection is defeat ... Perfection belongs to the gods; completeness or wholeness is the most a human being can hope for ... It is in seeking perfection by isolating and exaggerating parts of ourselves that we become neurotic. The chief sign of the pursuit of perfection is obsession. Obsession occurs when all the psychic energy, which ought to be distributed among the various parts of the personality in an attempt to harmonize them, is focused on one area of the personality to the exclusion of everything else. Obsession is always a fixation -- a freezing-over of the personality so that it becomes not a living being but something fixed, like a piece of sculpture, locked into a complex. Addiction to perfection is at root a suicidal addiction. The addict is simulating not life, but death.</i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br />
... To move toward perfection is to move out of life, or what is worse, never to enter it. A problem arises when our external focus inhibits our ability to focus within, to develop our spiritual, mental and psychological selves."<br />
</i></span><div><br />
</div><div>...spend more time, energy and money learning new skills, gaining insights and strengthening your inner landscape to deepen and broaden your experience of life... cultivate a profound sense of understanding and acceptance for yourselves and others just the way you are. Don't worry quite as much about the effects of aging, see your lives as an opportunity to develop wisdom... focus more upon your inner connection... and celebrate aging. ...embrace the passage of time that produces mature wisdom<br />
<br />
Mature wisdom doesn't necessarily make us richer, thinner or land us a fabulous looking mate. However, it's exactly what we need to weather life's inevitable changes.<br />
</div><div>It may feel confusing from the quick-fix perspective but focusing inwardly, we develop the strength and compassion that makes life easier, more peaceful and happier.<br />
<br />
Matthew 5:48 says, "Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." The Greek origin of the word "perfect" means "to be whole." so read this passage as, </div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div><b>"Be whole, therefore, as your heavenly father is whole?"</b><br />
