Taste the experience not the words
In Life, we experience a range of experiences. :-)
That range is like a colorful rainbow in a rainy afternoon.
Anyone with eyesight could see a rainbow.
That person could enjoy by appreciating the sight and perhaps adding gratefulness for such an experience!
That is to enjoy life.
It is so simple, so thoughtless, so uncomplicated.
The simplicity of enjoyment could be taken away once thought enters through our analytical mind.
All issues start with a seemingly innocent question.
What is the color of the rainbow?
-Look, the "rainbow has 7 colors."
That is the beginning of trouble.
-"Really? I only see 6. "
-"Well, there must be something wrong with you…."
-"What colors do you see?"
-"Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet…"
-"Indigo?" What on Earth is that? Don't you see it is violet or purple… Same thing different label.
Pure enjoyment changes into "who is right" and thus, the label of being "wrong" also appears.
Perception is perception. Someone sees 7 colors someone else may see something else, but …
Who is able to see the rainbow as white color?
Definition: A rainbow is white light seen through a prism (the raindrops.)
Isn't that arid definition a boring, tasteless and deceiving "reality"?
Therefore, what is the color of the rainbow?
For someone caught up with the mind and thinking, to "know" the facts even though it is just information biased by perceptions, that is all that matters. That information is totally useless when it is looked at from the standpoint of appreciation of Life and the intimate relationship that this experience could have in our lives.
The experience of seeing a rainbow. Wow! Feel that fullness gathered through seeing with an empty mind.
That is meaningful. Life has a meaning in that way.
That "seeing" without mind is pristine, new. It does not have comparison built in nor judgment.
"The rainbow that I saw a year ago in Alaska was way more beautiful than that one."
That is the sin. Comparison does not know about appreciation. Judgment does not know about gratefulness, therefore… that state of mind does not know about enjoyment.
Can we live life without enjoyment?
Most human beings do.
It does not matter what your religious beliefs are.
It does not matter what your moral values are.
It does not matter what pious actions you may do.
It does not matter what type of Divine experience is following you….
If there is no enjoyment in Life "now" under whatever is happening, what in the heck are we living life for?
Paradise tomorrow? A nice job in the future? The kiss of a princess?
Are we holding our breath until then?
A mind caught up with analysis, comparison and judgment cannot know what love is, for to love means to accept, to acknowledge, to appreciate, to be grateful, to enjoy, that is to be filled by the experience of "being present" rather than "thinking about it."
Look there, a rainbow!
Wow! :-)
It was in that thoughtless observation how Life presented a new exquisite flavorful meaning, which escaped all wordy, brainy definitions given by Wikipedia.

Can I be happy and peaceful (most of the time)?
Can we always be happy? How can we feel peaceful and calm most of the time? Is it possible and how?
Moving from one state of the mind into another, it's like moving from one state (of the country) to another. ...and slowly moving to our favorite vacation spot.
Explore the possibilities of your mind and have fun!
