Today mj posted a link on my facebook wall that articulated some things that I've been thinking about the past few days. In summary, we spend so much of our time in an institution of higher learning acquiring knowledge and building resumes, but rarely having time to construct our vision of life. Sometimes I ask myself again and again why I'm doing certain things, chasing certain goals but not being entirely sure of their purpose.
I suppose many of us try to find some meaning behind the things that afflict us, our desires and our endeavors. It's not an easy task and it can be a depressing lonely process. Sometimes I find that even religious institutions and religious people cannot provide the answers. It comes across to me that their piousness is simply an easy formula for tackling big questions.
Anyway I went to church today on Good Friday feeling that I've only understood a fraction of what the man had done for us and what he symbolizes. It is such a big thing, and perhaps one day if I decipher more clearly what he stands for I'll know life a little better. Perhaps others have done so, it's just that it comes out as pious slogans hung on their lips.
