As I sit at work I read a friends post. It's a survey, the type that used to be sent through chain emails and now clutter my.space bulletins. The question that has my mind turning, which tends to turn too much sometimes, is this, "Do you like your life right now?". This person's response was yes and they are content. Now who this person is has no relevance. I have an issue with that statement. I find all too often that people are just content with that way things are. They don't like change or are afraid of it. Change happens all the time and things will continue to change. I am not content. I seek change. I see the way things are and then I see the way they should be. I want something new and exciting in my life, to make new friends, to live, to learn, to love, to grow, to move, to do things I've never done before, to show people a loving and caring God. That the world is not a deep and dark place. Nobody is alone and nobody has to settle for less than what they want. Live your life to the fullest. Seek out your dreams! Why be content when there is so much left undone and so much left unsaid. We are only here for a short while, might as well make the best of it.
"If people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done."
~Ludwig Wittgenstein
