When we are standing on the road back home we are always sure we are getting there. We stand with no fears of what may not be or what may be. We have been on the road for the same purpose many times and the same thing has happened, we got home. But what happens when the car breaks down and there is no remedy to this? Do we sit there and wallow or do we pick our languages and trek the remaining distance?
I read a very interesting story the other day. A young widow chose to cling to her mother in law to where ever the mother in law was to go. She chose to ignore the mother in laws please and journeyed long distances back to the kinsmen of the mother in law. What is most fascinating is that she chose to ignore her own land and kinsmen and followed almost blindly.
This story makes me realize how vital is for many of us to understand what is of greatest importance. There are times when it seems pretty obvious we know what we want and that we truly love it. Then there are times when it is not clear we actually love it. In those moments we actually spread our scope of comparison to greater horizons. We seem to be in search of some better thing out there. Something that we may not really know but we are sure it is not what we have at our hands. We may even be ready to leave what we have for what we are not sure of.
Think of the visions we have, the jobs we get, the schools we go to, the university programs we enroll for, the people we get married to. Many times we find ourselves tired way too early and we opt for something better out there. We believe ourselves to have done all we can and that the person should have known what to do all the time.
There are people that have stood and watched as the vision they once treasured vanish and did nothing. It vanished and they later got to realize that some other person perfect what they once worked upon. The pain is not comparable to the agony that they face for rest of their lives.
The things we love will not always glitter but even in the times of gloom, they are worth fighting for. That is as simple as I can put it. I wish I could explain any further but my friends know exactly what I mean. Have a lovely day my friends.
