Are We Just Existing?
The other night I was driving home from my my dad's house and a thought crossed my mind: "When was the last time you felt a passion for living?" This was a strange thought for me because I am a very passionate person by nature...I have strong convictions, aspirations to help society, and the unshakeable reputation of an indefatigable optimist. So to wonder, even to myself, when was the last time I felt truly inspired about living, was troubling to me. But really, what do we have in this drab, materialistic existence to feel passionate about on a daily basis? So many of us go to work day in and day out at jobs we can barely tolerate, just to scrape up enough change to pay our stacks of bills and feed the debt monkey on our backs. Most of us can't even afford to take a day off, much less take our kids to Disneyworld. We go into debt to put Christmas gifts under the tree...we can't afford to be sick, and if we do get sick we can't afford to see a doctor. Sque...
