From my notes written right after awakening, and from my memory, I was a dying man seeking to have my wishes fulfilled. But the thoughtless or indifferent responses from some other people confused me until I found the magic word.
That word was "why?" It was a word I was encouraged to ask by an unknown voice and as I asked each person, starting with actor Jim Carrey (from the 2003 movie comedy, "Bruce Almighty") and then others, I could understand their lives and learn why these people were as they were.
Once able to put myself in their shoes, I understood why they had seemed thoughtless or indifferent and I found myself caring for them and their issues, instead of being so concerned for my own.
