What kind of people are we?

From derrach.blogspot.com - 4/12/06

Yesterday I had one of those really good days. It wasn't necessarily good because of anything that happened or anything I did, it was just a good feeling kind of day. The day before that was, however, not one of those kind of days. So here I sit on the preverbial 'hump' day, three days into the week, three days from the weekend and having experienced 'bad' and 'good' days thus far. Interesting...
It's got me wondering: What kind of people are we?
Are we fair weather fans of life?
Do we jump on bandwagons of fad, philosophy, and feelings all too easily?
Can we really have a GOOD LIFE? or is that fantasy?
Do the things we experience on a daily basis affect more than just ourselves?
Is there really an intertwining of destinies in our world or are we just bumping into eachother?

These questions seem somewhat silly, I must admit, but they are being asked - I think - by more than just me. As I listen to music, read articles, catch stupid TV shows, glance at millions of advertisements, watch videos, digest the news and all these things I can't shake the thought that we - so many around this nation especially - are really missing life as it tears past us on the interstate.

So the question, "what kind of people are we?" remains to me unanswered but worth the search to find the answer. I think that a lot of us, at least those of us who are 'becoming' adults - my crew - are looking at what lies ahead and wanting it to be so much more than it's become to our predecessors. My God, I hope, pray and believe that it will be different!

That's all folks.
