Gratitude Project: Day 25: Meaning
October 8th 2009 04:09
We can say that there is a deep yearning for the truth that is part of our nature. It is recognition that life is not what we thought it was, and we are not what we thought we were. In some of its forms it is what we sometimes call a crisis. In a way, our whole culture may be passing through that now, in the sense that our modern world has been increasingly motivated to give people what they want physically, socially, and materially. We are waking up to the fact that physical and social satisfaction does not really bring happiness, well-being, or answers to the great questions of life. It never will, it never can. We need meaning, not only physical pleasure, or security or anything of that kind.
We need time. Time to sit. Time to take it all in. Time to feel the beat of silence.
