Critically Ill Wisdom

Are you tired of looking at the penis pics? I make jokes but I have a serious topic today.

The other night, I was catching up on my recorded Oprah shows. I was sad to see that Dr. Oz is leaving Oprah to do his own show. I enjoyed them two together. While watching this episode:

I was touched by the story about the man who wrote "The Last Lecture." I haven't read the book yet. But, based on his incredible story, I plan to soon. Watching him made me think... why is that people gain so much wisdom about life at a time when they are facing death? Why is that when time is most precious to us, do we understand what's important? His message is not completely new. Many people have gone through a similar situation and imparted their wisdom unto others. But, many of us still don't get it. Or, we get it but can't seem to live it.
This could easily transition into a discussion about the Bible and it's true meaning. However, I shall stay away from that topic for now. Bottom line: We are all meant to love one another. If we could all "get it", this life would be so much easier.
