The Positive Meaning Of Whitney Houston's Life

Whitney Houston [1] was a famous American singer, best known for her love songs. She struggled with addiction and died in 2012 at age 48.

While some may think her life was a tragedy, her entire life means something positive:

• Her Name: Whitney has the word TEN in it, and 10 symbolizes wholeness in the quality of bestowal.
• She Was A Singer: Singing is connected with the quality of bestowal. Meaning we won't be immersed in personal selfishness (seeking to benefit ourselves), we'll be connected with each other in mutual bestowal (seeking to benefit others).
• She Often Sang About Love: Love is when we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, when we're connected with each other in mutual bestowal.
• She Was An Addict: Which represents being addicted to one another in the quality of bestowal, where we all seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

This doesn't mean that people have free licence to do whatever they want. I'm not condoning drug use or drug addiction. Not at all. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.

ADDICTION:
Addiction isn't necessarily a bad thing, it simply depends on what we're addicted to:

1. Negative And Destructive Addiction:
• If we're addicted to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, food, sex, gambling, etc., it will likely ruin our lives and potentially ruin the lives of those around us.
2. Positive And Constructive Addiction:
• If we're addicted to the quality of bestowal, where we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, we'll become addicted to each other. This will increase the connection between us and keep us united in mutual bestowal.
