Our Purpose Really?
Something difficult for me to ascertain and discuss in the facet of writing has always been spirituality and the topic of God. Ever since i was enrolled in college, it seemed as though i was beguiled and coerced into believing that writing about religion and your beliefs were like stepping into the pacific ocean infested with sharks, while having a gash on your foot-you just DON’T do it. Now of course there are exceptions to these protocols and ethics of writing but generally speaking your news editor or journalism professor is not going to be gung ho about you writing a piece about Jesus and his Apostles. But why is that? Spirituality, love, faith and relationships are really what life is all about. We all posses talents but theoretically speaking are they really ours? God is the creator of all things, so when we were concocted, all of our “assets” were actually gifts. I perceive these gifts as acquisitions solely given for others to learn and appreciate the values a vast cohort of people can bring. As humans and creatures controlled by our flesh, we think naively and egotistically. I would indubitably classify the human race as the most self-centered animal on the planet. We over use an innumerable amount of are resources, including the ones that aren’t replenish-able. Although we all succumb to the materialism of the world, maybe we should begin to interpret life in a different manner. Appreciate and cherish the things we have and cultivate our talents, gifts, blessings, acquisitions or whatever you so choose to call them-but hone in on them and engage in whatever that facet is. Do and pursue what you love. Then share it with the world. Life is a beautiful b-word.
