Happy is the one, who is able to meet life completely and directly in all fields

The challenges of life don´t meet us in a single area.

Life doesn´t take place only in, for instance the economical and political area.

Life is relationships within different areas, where it gives itself multifold expressions.

Happy is the one, who is able to meet life completely and directly in all fields.

Such a meeting can be characterized as that, which the Danish life-philosopher Løgstrup, calls a sovereign life-expression.

The sovereign life-expressions are among other things: love, mercifulness, trust and the openness of the speech.

Being together breaks down without trust, the speech is being distorted without openness, and becomes superficial or dishonest.

The challenge never ends, because every moment in life is a challenge

The challenge never ends, because every moment in life is a challenge.

Challenge and reaction is life itself.

Life is, and must be, a line of challenges and reactions.

The challenge doesn´t direct itself after the desires and dislikes of Man, or after his special wishes, but it takes different forms to different times.

And if Man had the ability to meet a challenge completely and directly, there would be no problems.

The new is never there, because you always meet the new with the old

Since we meet any challenge from the past´s conditions – and because the challenge always is new – our reaction to the challenge will each time be utterly insufficient, and from this comes the contradiction, the conflict, and all the sorrow, distress and misery, we have inherited.

Unless we meet relationships completely, there arise conflicts in the meeting with the challenge

The human being who observes and meets life, as if it for instance only is limited by the economical, or intellectual relationship, is not a Man of wholeness, and his conflicts are countless, because life is the connection with everything; with things, humans and ideas, and unless we meet these relationships completely, correctly, there arise conflicts in the meeting with the challenge.

Our life-expressions become self-circling.

Emptiness and loss have to do with, that you compare challenges with earlier, and desire or fear something else

In order to be able to get an image to disappear, you must first find out how it arises; and you see, that if you don't react sufficient to any challenge, it will leave an image.

This is because that emptiness and loss slide in between the challenge and the reaction.

The emptiness and the loss have to do with, that you are absent in past and future, and compare the challenge with earlier, and hope, desire or fear something else.

Therewith you have made the challenge into a problem. And it is the problem, which creates the image.
