So, what is “a sure thing” in this whole wide world?
Death and taxes—tell me something new.
If I’m going to live on this earth,
and get up every morning,
and go to work,
eat and go to bed—
tell me something will last,
tell me something really counts,
tell me something has permanent value,
tell me something has permanent meaning.
We all know life on this earth is not permanent—guaranteed.
We also know there has to be meaning in this life—and beyond.
We all pursue answers to life’s questions—and our life reflects that.
We have to find answers—then we are satisfied.
We invent answers that we like—then we live with lingering doubt.
We naturally focus on this life—and almost kill ourselves to be comfortable.
We diligently plan and prepare for the future—as though it is guaranteed.
We invest everything in this life for “someday”—and miss something in this life “today.”
We invest everything in this life for “someday”—and miss something in the next life “forever”.
Are you one of the people who have come up with your own answers to suit your thinking?
Do you think we are free to choose any one of a thousand ideas for a meaningful life?
Do we have freedom to live this life as we please?
Do all roads lead to the same place after this life?
I am writing this to catch you—to stop you for a moment—to think what really matters in the end, and now.
You will find a few more words for thought right here, and answers, starting with 3-6-13, 2-28-13, 2-25-13, 2-20-13, and going back for one year.
