Returning from one of those conversations you have with someone that really makes you question everything at large, I find that I've thought myself into a circle where the questions no longer bring the clarity of answers but rather just more of the uncertainty that accompanied them in the first place. Questions lead to questions, and at the end of it all, everything pledges its loyalty to thought. The human species is a rational one, everything begs logic and deduction, the art of mind over matter. So where do you fit all those things that defy the compartmentalization of common sense, those things that can't be broken down into the basic elements of science, those things that rationality can't explain. Where do we fit things like faith, love, friendship, aspiration; the things that arguably make us more human than machine, more flesh than metal.
I am torn between what the world expects of me, what He expects of me, and what I expect of myself. The world as it is teaches us to strive for certain tangible material things; money, success, fame, luxury, beauty, the ego with the comfortable living. Faith, on the other hand, calls on us for discomfort, struggle, questioning, surrender and the denying of the self. But in the end, what is it that drives us, what is the one thing that man seeks? I suscribe to this concept of connectedness, the idea of returning to the creator, the notion of finding someone who makes you feel anything, or better yet, everything.
And then there's love, isn't it funny how everything always brings us back to love.
