Maybe He wills us to change everything in our life as we know it and become selfless like a Mother Teresa. Or even worse, we could be afraid of God's Will.
Death is the great mystery of life. That is one of the reasons why the stories of those who have undergone a near-death experience (NDE) have captivated millions of people. We are curious about the afterlife, but more so, we want to know what it feels like to die.

People who are psychologically flexible have better family and romantic relationships, according to new research.
Naturally we are scared to move into the unknown because our personality relies a lot on the symbols, psychological structures, and associations we develop. We become comfortable in a society, and with a group of people -- work mates, family, and friends. However, embracing change is a matter of giving away or letting go of old traits.
During the pandemic, relationships have mostly continued much as they were before, report researchers, though the happiest couples have seen a small boost.
Chiron as an astrological placement appears not only in the astrological birth chart of individual human beings, but also in the astrological birth chart of businesses, organizations, and countries.

This use of language distorts and limits our view, trapping us in the fallacy of love being equated to pleasure.
As humans, everything we do requires energy. We need energy each morning to open our eyes, get out of bed, and plan what we’ll do next.
