      I truly believe in the power of the mind and the power of love. If you have no reason for living, it can shorten your life. But if you have an equally strong reason to live, it can prolong it.
      Everytime I watch this video I cry, it touches me deeply. It might seem strange to Western people, but all Eastern religions very much believe in reincarnation, that when we die our spirits often return to complete unfinished business or to help a friend in need. Sometimes we come back in different forms-sometimes as a man, sometimes as a woman, sometimes as a child. I could be wrong, but I think this child recognized this man in another life and another time, and who knows, could have even been his deceased wife. It would certainly explain a lot of things. Then again, he could have simply "gotten lucky." But the older I get, the more I believe that our lives are determined by higher forces. There are so many examples of reincarnation if you just open your mind and heart and look for them.

    This is why it is so important to cultivate our children's awareness of their environment. And teach them to invest in others. To think outside of themselves and to work to help others. Teaching our children to build community and respect for others. It's good for them and it's good for the ones that they impact. Having healthy boundaries is also important, but clearly getting them to focus past themselves is a win-win.

      @msinvincible. Before you judge his children or grandchildren. You don’t know their own situations either. Maybe they live far away. Maybe they have issues in their lives just as he did. The only fact that mattered is that he was well loved with his remaining life by this family and this little girl. That’s all that mattered.
