We all have days when we say, what's the point ? I know I ask myself that question. Is there an answer to that question ? Just what is the point ? In those moments when you feel like no one is paying attention or listening to you there certainly doesn't seem to be a point. It is that feeling that begs you to search for an answer, a reason to continue. In that time the search for motivation is the primary quest. For some, they just give up, others withdraw, and others just keep moving forward. I think it should be a starting point. A time to stand looking at the sign post and decide upon a direction. Do you need to change the road you are on ? Should you continue on the same path ? It is not the end of the road, we don't get that choice, but we can choose to move forward. We can choose a different approach.
I do believe we are all here to serve a purpose. We have a mission to fulfill. I can not believe all of this is an accident. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. That is a natural law of nature and I believe a spiritual one as well. Positive and negative forces at work. The scientist speak of energy yet they can not define its' origin. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. That much was taught to us all in school. Hopefully Sunday school taught you the source of that energy. It goes by many names, but is one. When the balance between the two, positive and negative is upset, that is when we begin to question things. That is when we want to know the point of it all. To restore the balance.
If the point is something that satisfies only you, how would that benefit the whole ? I would have to say it cannot. Drawing from that conclusion one can only deduce the point has something to do with the whole. Then we must define the whole. What is the whole ? Is it your friends and family, your little world ? Is it your state or country ? Is it the entire world as we know it ? Or is the the infinite space of the heavens ?
The only thing inexhaustible, that we know of, is energy. It can be transformed, remember, but never destroyed or created. The source of that energy remains unchanged. It would logically follow that the point must benefit the whole, the energy source.
We are faced with choices, a chance to read the signposts if you will, and choose a direction. What is the point ? The point is to consider your position in all of this and then proceed. Each of us are a piece of that energy. We can be transformed, but never destroyed. The decision to become positive or negative rests within us. The signposts are there if we but read them. When we stop the journey to question, it is because we are uncertain. Uncertainty and doubt can be of benefit but should not be cause for inaction. They should give us pause for they are indicators. Like caution lights they should make us look around a bit, check our surroundings carefully and then proceed. I think that is the point. The point has little to do with me but everything to do with the whole. When I ask myself, what's the point, I am being selfish. It is a flaw in human nature.
