Ecclesiastes 7:8 (New International Version)

The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience is better than pride!.

Wesley's Notes

The end - The good or evil of things is better known by their end, than by their beginning!. The patient - Who quietly waits for the issue of things!. The proud - Which he puts instead of hasty or impatient, because pride is the chief cause of impatience!.

Follow the maxim: Time and Tide wait for no Man!. Live and focus for the moment!. To just lie and wait for the end or the beginning of is to waste one's time, and not to enjoy the present!. Try different things in life--take pleasure in the beginning and the whole process or journey, and learn things along the way!. Sometimes the beginning is more exciting than the end, but sometimes the end can bring ultimate satisfaction!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What is an end but a beginning of something of something new created by the void or lapse of a stage or life cycle!. For peace to descend torment must cease, for life to begin the force holding it must be eliminated!. For such souls upon gaining enlightenment, of self awareness of what you may call a realisation of a greater universe of what we are a part and cast asunder, or when life becomes insufferable and stifles the spirit, suffocates the souls and leave us gasping for a breath of uncontaminated air, when the elixir of life becomes a s a vial of poison then we seek an end that we may begin a new beginning, a new journey, a greater liberty!. It seems at times man grows, nay burgeons in spirit, increases in measure until he feels contained within a universal pressing against a matter through what he must break through!. Fear of what lies beyond and a hesitance to leave behind the familiar and dear delay an inevitable end!. What are we waiting for, man slumbers whilst living, blissfully unaware or inanely ignorant of what is beyond the bounds of his immediate perception!. I await then an inner calling, a release from the spell of slumber, to awaken and find the world unchanged and as wondrous as before observed, nay lived with new eyes and an inspired vision!. Life does not change, awakening from the slumber requires eradication of the forces holding the soul in sleep for whatso purposes and intentions!. If eradicated, then we overcome our fear of a world that may have hurt or wounded us, and this requires recognition!. We then slowly open our eyes, bid farewell to the night cosseting our minds, and walk into the light!. The end of darkness and onset of life, success and the realisation of dreams we, create within our imagination, already ours but yet to be envisaged!. This tale can become quite lengthy so we will stop here and reflect upon what we have poured forth in words !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is nothing to wait for!.!.!.it is all here, it is all now!. Perhaps this is what T!.S!. Eliot might have alluded to (though i cannot know)!. We are eternal, infinite aspects of All That Is!. Endings and beginnings are only illusions dreamed in this world of time and space, where boundaries and divisions are perceived!.

In the All of All, oneness is the only Truth!.
