On a plane yesterday, I saw another passenger deleting a lot of pictures from his phone. He probably needed to free space on his phone. We take so many pictures, as doing so is free and we do not have to pay for the film or printing. How many of us go back and see…
Some people like to pack their bags the night before traveling. They know months ahead they have to travel. Then they rush and have a sleepless night.

A. The one who is distressed by physical, mental, and spiritual problems can. Indirectly, if everything is perfect in your world, who needs or will care to have spiritual knowledge?
