The Lost Years

April 2, 2009

Why are we so content on rushing through the journey? Why do we want that stable 9-5 job so badly? Why do we want our relationships to be cut and dry? Why do we want a stable house a few minutes away from our parents? Why is our natural reaction to conform, to find the best traditional approach and stick to it? Why do we not choose to be creative, to be daring, to take risks that might not always pay off, before pursuing what everyone else wants? Why are we so afraid?

There is no problem with being lost and taking chances. In fact, being lost is where I want to be. We need to get lost to realize what we truly value.

    thanks for your comment- it’s certainly a question I’ve been thinking about of late. and it’s tricky cause we so inadvertently “need all” this technology, but do we really to this extreme? how can our lives be balanced with it?
