The Eternal Search

I have been working on the thought that is to become this entry for a while now and I’m still not confidant that I have captured all that is possibly relevant to the issue. This came to me as I was watching one of the lonelygirl15 (who has become quite famous) videos. She said “if you don’t know where you are, then you don’t know where you’re going and you might crash into something that is not supposed to be there”. I don’t know if she meant this literally or was she implying something else. I don’t take the makers of the show to be that smart so I’m going to assume that it was by mere chance that they asked one of the most amazing questions human kind could come up with. Of course this is only because I want to be the first to acknowledge the significance of the quote. Think about it, do you know where you are? I’ve been trying to figure that one out for a while now and it’s a very hard question. As I am sure you understand it is not physically where you are that I am referring to, it is more mentally and emotionally that makes the difference at this point. Yet another baffling part of the quote is that if you don’t know where you are then you don’t know where you are going. This is completely true, as I go through the motions I see that I have no control over nor do I foresee the events that come my way and sometimes I do crash. The only reason I did not make that into a general statement is because some people would like to pretend that they know exactly where they are and exactly where they will be in the future. It does not matter what you believe whether it be god or anything else, this question still applies. In those terms where are you with yourself? Are you happy with your accomplishments are you happy with the type of person you are? In other more literal terms, are you having a good life, do you have a good job and is that job going to get you anywhere? But all in all it is a question that everyone should be able to ask themselves. Where am I, you might ask, well I don’t have a good answer to that at this point. I feel as if I am too scared to look at what I have and realize what I don’t have, and to face what may be and what will not be. The issue still stands, where are you?
