Life’s a dance…
Sunday, August 9th, 2009So goes a popular country song; an oft repeated theme whenever humans express their angst…
It would have been nice if our first parents had never sinned. We would be ever-living in paradise, never knowing tragedy. But alas this is not the case…It is what it is.
“To err is human…” that is to say that perfection is not achievable in this life…Enter karma, nirvana, heaven or whatever you think is or isn’t out there. It is obvious to most people, that we cannot achieve perfection whilst embroiled in the throes of this life.
So what’s the point? Fate? Destiny? Pre-destiny? Make your own way? Well, I do believe in one absolute right path, but that’s another discussion for another day…
For my journey, life is about living for something outside of myself. A life sacrificed for humanity. Leave this earth producing more than I’ve consumed-then will I have not been a dead weight to humanity.
It isn’t always rose-colored…Do the incongruities damn me eternally or is there “room” for errors? How much room? How much can I “get away with?” Note that I do not jump head long into debauchery and seek to justify it…But there is a certain accommodation that I’ve made with my social environment…I do not ask if this is acceptable, as far as ethics goes; this is not. But as for a question of practical existence (what Jesus might call shrewdness), what is able to be glossed over?
