There is a spirtual meaning of all human acts and earthly events

What we see in life depends on what we seek in life.

*

An effective but sad illustration of this is the Roman Soldiers who were casting lots for the clothing of Jesus while he was on the cross above them. I think of them near the cross. The had their eye on the clothing. Perhaps the dice. They saw what they sought after in their lives. If they would have looked up they would have seen what life was about.

In Corinthians 4:18 Paul tells us that:

*

"we look not at the things which are seen,

but at the things which are not seen:

for the things which are seen are temporal;

but the things which are not seen are eternal.

*

How we interpret our experiences is a function of our degree of spirituality.

*

First lines of Act 2, Cats opens with "We had the experience but missed the meaning"

*

The Moments of Happiness

The moments of happiness
We had the experience but missed the meaning
And approach to the meaning restores the experience
In a different form, beyond any meaning

We can assign to happiness.
