For Its Own Sake

The seeking after knowledge, wisdom, new discoveries, creative expression, fresh insight, spiritual awakening and enlightenment are all most worthy goals. But, they while necessary, they are not sufficient for human happiness, and the migration of the human soul into heaven in the afterlife.

What one knows and learns must also have had a deep impact on one's life, one's choices, and one's moral bent. Knowledge must convert to personal wisdom. Creative expression must inform and find expression one's one life and behaviors. Fresh insights must encourage the principle of love as one's guiding affirmation of all in this world and in the next, communicated as spiritual and moral goodness.

What one has gained in comprehension of concepts in the world of abstractions must now become real and concrete in our lived personal lives.
