Hello cruel world, its me again. Today begins a new development in my life. I found out that my company is downsizing, and I may be without work for a while; God he knows how long(not too long I hope). Its just difficult sometime to keep the fight going. The fight that drives me in the direction of success. I struggle ambitiously to attain an education to better myself. Only to struggle in maintaining a stable lifestyle that promotes my survival, solely for the continuance in my endeavors.
What twist has my new problems taken? What road is now the best path to take, as my journey redirects itself to an unforeseen direction? Where will it begin, and how will it end? Questions without answers, that only father-time can tell. We make plans and preparations that are inevitably out of our control, But as humans, what more can we do?
It seems as if the walls are getting closer, the hills higher, and the river wider. I've done all that I can, when ever I could, and yet depression sets in. My struggles are great, my determination even greater, but how much can one man take. apparently a lot. There are far greater distresses in life. People who suffer far greater than my trivial problems, and yet they survive: Strength beyond strength.
Today I read a article on honor killings in Iraq, where family member (fathers, brothers, mothers etc...) will kill there female relatives, if they suspect premarital sexual activities, that involves their virginity being lost. To think of the terror women go through in that country, makes my concerns seem trivial.
Nonetheless, I do have my own issues to confront, and sometime it seem over bearing. So I'll ask one of the questions we all ask, when we are in distress..."where am I, and why"?
God speed
