I'm no good at life. But who is? (Published March 12, 2013)
I'm like most people in today's society, I'm just mixed up in the fast paced race to the finish line; the finish line that no one seems to have a reason to get to.
Maybe for some that finish line is happiness, maybe it's relaxation, maybe it's heaven/hell, or maybe just bleak, dark death.
I don't know, but it seems like we're all running, blindly, to this end point and we have no idea what awaits us there.
We worry about this finish line instead of enjoying our time here. Every time I turn around there is someone talking about their financial issues, or how shitty our government is doing right now, or how they're unhappy with their relationship(s) with their spouse, family or friends.
We let things like money, social status, the car we drive, the house we live in, where we live, how many TVs are in our house, how many friends we have, how many material things we have, control our lives. We search for happiness in these things, but do we ever reach true happiness?
We worry about time too much. Like we don't have enough time to live!
But you see, we do have time to live. We may not have time to live materialistic lives, but we have more than enough time to LIVE!
When I say "Live" I don't mean "own as many expensive things as I can before I die". When I say "Live" I mean I want to have a journey to tell. I want to do things that excite me, things that enlighten me, things that feed my body and mind in any healthy form. I want to feel the flows of earth and nature running through my spiritual veins.
But it's like all this is hidden in the fog of every day life.
Life is an ocean, and we're Wooden Canoes.
We're all trapped in Society's fucked up, "Ship Wreck" fog.
Lets talk!
