Crossroads

It's often wondered why people are the way they are. Is it because of lineage, social upbringing, or outside peer influences? Why is it that in the vast hubris of life which many claim to be random occurrences, are there such wide differences of the social strata? Why does the paradox exist where if reality is supposedly random, that you still have the choice or choices to guide things in your favor? A wise man once said that life is nothing more than two dates on a tombstone. The hyphen in the middle is what represents your life... Of course to a dying world the only things that have meaning are the objects that keep re inflating and turning back the inevitable which is death. On the other hand death is glorified in a vain attempt to somehow infuse in a person the allusion that they are truly alive. ...And if evil seems to have an unmitigated chokehold on world affairs, then why can't peace randomly occur as well?

The answer is surprisingly simple - Jesus said: "my kingdom is not of this world". The present world has been on a collision course with self annihilation. The only exception being now the technology of war fighting skills are much more advanced. Subterfuge and artifice (fancy terms for lies) are the rule of the day. For we have all failed. Collectively, globally, and individually, we have all gone astray. It is not so much as relating to any ideological or social malfeasance or misdirection as it is as relating to a spiritual "virus" that has plagued mankind from day one and no amount of social engineering, detente, or intellectual brainstorming can "right the ship". We are all spiritual “misfits”. The pyramidal hierarchy of structures is now come to a full. In other words we can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Has anyone ever noticed that the pyramids were built on sand? Indeed, we are at a crossroads. Now the focus turns to an individual’s state of affairs. If a person was born; they are already dying. Where are you at?

I was at the airport recently. It’s amazing the hustle & bustle and the surrealism of it all. The cacophony of noise, sights, and sounds. People all have somewhere to go. And they are in a rush to get there. Conversely, others are sitting and waiting for their conveyance to arrive. And then the process will begin anew. Funny how we are all given a temporary “boarding pass” that always seems to expire... So it seems that it relates not so much in the action of traveling as it does on what direction and how we travel. Because in the end all our road trips or plane travels all end up in the same place (destination) no matter what clothes we wore, no matter how much money we had in the bank, no matter how many diplomas we had on our walls (or didn’t). Let’s just say right now we are in transit. Christ is life. The rest are details. Are you giving people directions on the road to life?
