Life question?
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Sometimes questions are more powerful than answers.
How is this happening?
What are they?
Why them and not others?
Why now?
What does it all mean?
In the end what does it matter, when the human heart can only find a meaning the smallest of moments.
We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate.
But have we truly any choice in when we rise? or when we fall?
Or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction?
Does science point our way? or is it God who intervenes, keeping us safe?
The most important question of all, can we ever really change what we are?
Like the earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life’s struggle with death.
Perhaps we’d be better off not looking at all.
Not dwelving, not yearning.
That’s not human nature, not the human heart.
That is not why we are here.
Maybe there’s a time when we should ask ourselves, whether we want a life of happiness or life of meaning… to be truly happy, one must live absolutely
in the present, no thought of what’s gone before and what lies ahead.
But for a life of meaning, they had to wallow in the past
and obsess about the future. And we just simply can’t choose both. (taken from Heroes)
