The lord has made us all for a special reason and purpose, deep down everyday we can feel that purpose, but some have turned their hearts to it. On those beautiful days where the sunrise gushes out colors of pink, orange and blue we can see a little piece of the Lords glory. You stand there thinking, "wow." Sometimes we forget though to sit still and bask in what the Lord has made for us. We are busy throughout our day with errands on our checklist like go to the gym, do school work, go to work, watch the kids, chores, food, and sometimes showers.
Sometimes it's at this moment when you look at your life and go, "where did the time go?" Our life isn't as long as we think it is and most of the time, during the day, we are so busy trying to work to live that we forget to really enjoy every part of life. Of course we get cheap thrills like good food, movies, alcohol, drugs, and sex but we rarely even enjoy those. What happened to life? What happened to getting up in the morning and feeling the suns warmth on your face and the cool breeze on your skin. The smell of flowers and the sound of a running stream. Now we have air freshners and plug-in fountains. Our conveniences that we long for and bitch so much about are the ultimate destroyers of our happiness.
Now it's self help books, clothes, TV series, the next pop singer, country singer, rapper, home make over, body builder, athlete......... The list goes on and on and on and on. When does this bullshit end? When is it back to reality? When is it back to real life. Spending time with your family and loving one another. Right now I wouldn't be surprised if people signed their kids over to someone for a hand full of cash. What is our world coming to?
Go to college, pay some loans, look for a great job and find out that the job market is a huge competition with numerous amounts of players willing to work 80 hours when you want to work 40 and has 4 years experience under their belt.
"How much experience do you have?"
"Well, none sir I was just in the infantry in the military and I taught people how to put together weapons, how to keep themselves alive, and how to kill people."
"Oh, well why are you even here? NEXT!"
I guess the only answer is to get dressed up in a business suit and be the first one in line, but be ready for them to say no.
Everything just seems so triveal after you experience war. Why do we work ourselves to death? Why are we constantly trying to go so fast? We try to find the perfect job, the perfect partner, the perfect family...and the whole time we are missing out. The convenience of texting and emailing give us a reason to not visit the ones we love.
Well if you check this post out you can check out a song I did about PTSD and let me know what you think..... it's on youtube.com called caf-ptsd
Oh yeah, here is a quote for you, "You must be the change that you wish to see in the world." Ghandi
