Many Questions

As we travel through life do we stop to ask ourselves the bigger questions?  Do we focus on the business of our lives and accomplishing or doing things rather than trying to understand what is it all about.

Are we here due to some cosmic chain of events that have no real meaning or is there a guiding force?  Is this force based on a set of universal laws or is there a divine guide that has created all that is around us.

There are times in my life where I ask these questions and am perplexed with the overwhelming possibilities.  Is there one right answer?  Or is the understanding of the universe and all that is around us beyond the capacity for a single human to comprehend?

I have struggled with these questions my whole life.  At times religion has been a focus for me.  At other times science.  Then there are times that I think it truly is just a big cosmic coincidence.  The beauty of the world and the people around me will keeping me struggling with this.

We just had the 70 anniversary of the d day invasion. That was a time in the world where there was a lot of evil and many of us had our family members go and do horrific duties to try and rid the world of  this evil. Many of us lost these members of our families to help others out.

Have our forefathers been able to get rid of the evil in our world, or has our generation been able to rid the world of evil?  Sadly I conclude that we have not been able to.   Evil comes in many forms: In people, in institutions, in disease, in nature and in thought ideologies.  Should we throw up our hands and say it can't be done.  I believe that the more evil we see the more we need to go and try and rid the world of that evil. Will we always succeed? Unfortunately not, but we need to continue to work
on getting rid of evil.

At some point in my life I hope I get to a comfortable understanding of why I have consciousnesses but in the mean time I will focus on being a good person to my family my community and the world around me.
