Ponderlings
Tonight is a ponderlicious night. Asking questions like, what exactly do I exist for, what is my purpose, do I really matter?
I believe I am meant for something big, a higher purpose, a greater calling, something huge, to make an impact, a difference to someone, anyone.
Wait. Or is it the messages of modern world that you matter, that everyone can make a difference, that each drop makes an ocean, that change begins with one.
Are we fulfilling our self-generated needs in "making a difference", when the live that has the greatest impact is really ours? Is it a feel-good return to mother nature thing when we do something good? Can I be honest and say that when I help someone, even if it costs me my blood and brings me severe pain and trauma, I would still do it? Gaining nothing in return is incomparable to sacrificing a precious invaluable treasure, and in so doing, gaining pain and misery.
What then is the real force that compels us to reach out to those who are reaching up? Self-preservation, sanity, and humanity. We are keeping ourselves intact.
