Icelander said: I don't know anything for sure. If you know me you hear me say this often here. The truth is that I'm confused really as to the nature of life and myself. I don't really know who or what I am.
Sometimes I hate it, I really, really hate not knowing. It's so painful for me. I want to know exactly what is going on here. But the truth as far as I know is I can't , and I can't turn my back on this.
My honesty about my confusion is the only truth I really know. I have come by this truth with a lifelong struggle and paid dearly and I can't sell it for a comfortable lie. It wouldn't work anyway, I know this, it's just how I am now. If it would work I would sell out; but I can't.
Thanks for that Icelander. I'm sure most of us can relate to that at different times in our lives. Many times I also question myself about the value of the "finding out". I also like this little joke:
The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep. Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says, "Kemo Sabe, look towards sky; what you see?" The Lone Ranger replies, "I see millions of stars." "What that tell you?" asked Tonto. The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxies. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you, Tonto?"
"You dumber than buffalo shit. Someone stole tent."
Sometimes the looking / analyzing takes away from the obvious.
-------------------- You are a fortunate person indeed, if you can begin each day accepting the fact that during that day there will be ups and downs, good breaks and bad ones, disappointments, surprises, and unexpected turns of events. When you have solved all the mysteries of life you long for death, for it is but another mystery of life.

Good post. I think all of us are guilty of this to some extent, even in our daily lives.

You are most welcome. You have done the same for me at other times, so thanks you.
