Life is a game; it's like a movie. The actors in a movie don't really get hurt or die. The blood is fake. The monsters are animated. When it ends, everyone goes home to their families.
Reading of natural disasters or human atrocities, it's easy to forget this simple truth. Seeing the people you care about go through difficult times, you want to believe in tragedy. But you remember that none of it's real. It's just a movie, a game. Relax. None of it's real.
Notice everything whether it seems "good" or "bad", "right" or "wrong". Notice it. Pay attention. Celebrate. Be present. See, hear and feel it all. Just don't take it seriously.
