From the mind of critic: “When we’re pulling onto a busy freeway, do we adjust our speed accordingly, or do we go balls to the wall? Do we speed up to wedge into one of the many busy lanes, and then slow so we’re going with the flow of traffic? Or do we continously speed up and slow down as we weave in and out, because the flow of traffic itself is slowing us down, whether it’s flowing above the speed limit or not? Do we try to find our place and our purpose? Or do we carve our own path by creating what we think is our place, and then vis a vie our purpose? These are questions we ask ourselves all the time whether we’re rich or poor, old or young, live in the city or the country, religous or non believer, are poltical or oblivious. Life is basically chaos, and we do our best to navigate. Many people will try getting us to slow down or speed up, while attempting to squeeze us into a perfect little box that they’ve designed. Once we realize that it’s not about fitting into our own box let alone somebody else’s, we’ll see there’s no black and white answer to anything. It’s not about only slowing, speeding, or staying, it’s about doing all three at the same time. It’s about fitting in, finding our place and then making our way, which on the super highway of life is great training. This is how we find our purpose. We have to think to find it, and find it to be joyfully content. And isn’t that the only true goal in life?” 🙂
