THOUGHTS ONLINE 
Who are we ... why are we here... where are we going?
 
 
They are the soul-searching questions I ask myself on a daily basis -- maybe you do it, too.  For me, it usually occurs early in the morning... as I stumble into the bathroom, catching a look at that man in the mirror... or while I'm gazing out the kitchen door at the back yard, waiting for coffee to warm up in the microwave.

"Who am I... why am I here... where am I going?"

You know that feeling we all sometimes get... that the road you're on has become the driver, and suddenly... you're just along for the ride?  Well, I've wondered about that.  Specifically, about how we fall into the trap -- how we allow those things to happen -- and how some of us overcome those situations better than others.
 
Frequently, it seems that money is the answer to all of our woes, and admittedly, those who have it during  times of trouble have a wider variety of options at their disposal.  But, there are people for whom the best health care money can buy will not sustain life, nor remove pain and permanent injury.  Then, there are others who can only purchase part-time affection from another human being -- artificial happiness -- a temporary solution to a chronic problem.  My grandmother once called the piano tuner for a piano that was no longer used, just to have someone to talk with.  Sadly, the man couldn't even play a song for her.  He carried with him an electronic box that told him when the pitch of the strings were perfect.
Then, there are those whose family is in disarray, where disconnected people try to function as a unit, where uncaring and unloving children openly display a thorough disrespect for their parents, where a spouse is unfaithful or physically abusive.  This is where, despite medication and therapy, a family member remains haunted by anger and confusion -- incapable of involvement with relatives because of some ongoing feud with life and the world around them.  Money just doesn't help in those situations.  Where do these families turn?  How do they go on?

 

At times, we realize that all we ever really are is, alone -- isolated in our shells that prevent us from truly touching others -- from touching in a way that was satisfying -- from commingling with others at a depth and intensity we'd find meaningful.  And, as youth is replaced with maturity... as patterns begin to form in our lives... as life begins to present us with roads to travel, and forks in those roads... our circumstances begin making the choices for us, and the road becomes the driver.  But as songwriter said, "Love will find a way."

 

How do you keep it all together?  There are jewels of wisdom and sages everywhere over the Internet.  Near the bottom of this page, I've listed some places that I find helpful... some you might try, if you like.  However, I’d really like to know what helps you so I can add it to this page for others.  Drop me an e-mail, or send me your favorite self-help URL so we might share it with others.  We're all on this journey together, aren't we?
