From the mind of critic: “If we can see clearly now because the rain is gone, does that guarantee we will journey along the right path? If we can see all the obstacles in our way, are we guaranteed to find a way around them as we journey that right path? If we are consciously trying to be better humans now by taking care of ourselves, each other and our planet, are we guaranteed that things will work to our benefit? No matter how clearly we s…ee our path, or the obstackes along that path, our success, fulfillment, love, satisfaction and importance to the breadth of humankind, are never guaranteed no matter how conscious we are. Granted, finding our way, and our impediments are the first step. But they are only the first step, which take conscious choice to continue moving forward. Since life is always and forever a journey, and never a destination, there doesn’t ever come a time when our work is done, when we can just sit back and relax because all our impediments are illuminated. We must continue making the right choices, because choice is the true determining factor in our direction. Nothing in life is guaranteed in life anymore, not even death and taxes. The more we’re aware of our roadblocks along the way, the much better chance we have at finding joy. And arent those the type of odds we should be betting on?” 🙂
