Her Eulogy

What did she stand for? Well, this depends on the perspective you look at her life from. From the idealistic view, is was ideal. But from a realist's perspective, well, things might not have been quite clear to someone who wasn't Daniella. Of course, she believed in the greater good, but when it came to happiness and striving for enlightenment, she, her own mind, and her beliefs came first. Sacrifices were made. People were given up on. But that's what life is about; at least, in her opinion. You cannot change the world before you change yourself, and that is what she strove for. And you know what? She got closer than most of the world. Maybe not closer than Buddhists and monks who spend their whole lives meditating, but not a day went by where she was not able to stay happy and optimistic about whatever it was that was necessary to do, in control til the end; and even if a certain event was to make the path wobble, she would take control of her emotions and get back on. So what was it she believed in? Mental and physical health for the whole of society, ideally, of course. It all starts with food and lifestyle, the two things that are most neglected in this modern world. If everyone was healthy, there would be no war. No crime. No accidents. Only enlightened people, everywhere. But once again, the only thing you can change is yourself, because the only thing that exists is you, your world, the one you perceive at this current second. And that is all that matters.

  1. I found your comment on how healthy people would lead to enlightenment and and enlightened society in all corners of the world. I never actually sat down and thought of the importance food has in every culture and the possible effects it has. Food being central to life, it makes sense that being well fed and taken care of might be a step closer to ubiquitous peace. I like this new idea and the mellow attitude of your post

  2. I think we need more people like you in the world. We need people who really understand what it takes to make the change that matters. The change that will bring us down the right path and not the wrong one. We need people who understand exactly what is going on in the world without the corruption of the media or politics. We need people who will change the world for a better future and not for their better future.
