Why do we....

Thu Mar 12, 2009, 11:18 AM
The past few months I have been just unbelievably confused. Confused about so many things like; love, dating, relationships, sex, my financial problems, home, cars, all my motivations in life, travel, job possibilities, massage work, healing arts, yoga, meditations, judo, the books I've been reading, all of that along with the many other things that I have manifested into or out of my life.
Having done such constant introspect, I have to admit that I am no closer to coming up with any answers or solutions to any of my current problems in my life. I really don't understand how this society works or why it has continued to work.
-Why we pay money to insurance companies to provide us with a service and then when we do get in an accident we are too scarred to use that service? Why do we put up with this?
-Why do we settle for medial jobs that are so wasteful of our time, resources. Most of the time they are all about profit and screwing the hard working guy/girl on the bottom and destroying the environment in the process. Most of the time they are corrupt and treat the low paid workers like shit when they are the hardest working people there? Why do we put up with this?
-Why do we continue to drive or even purchase cars that get such poor economy?
-Why do we settle for cars that are half gas, half electric?
-Where are the "all electric" cars at?
-Why do we not have solar panels on every roof on every building, office and home?
-Why do we continue to waste so much water, knowing damn full well that we are running out of it?
-Why so we pay so damn much money (rent) to a person (landlord) that will allow us to live (tennancy) in their crappy little room that maybe has a toilet (appartment) and dare to call this "living."
-Why so we spend 40 hours (sometimes more) doing a "job" that we may or may not even like? Only to come home to a over priced room that we rent. Where we sit down in front of the television and drastically over eat, because we didn't have time to eat during out work week. All while getting high, as if that is going to solve your problems.
-Why

Yes there are many confusing aspects of life that are difficult to understand. I find it frustrating going through life not being able to make much of a difference. All that I can do is educate those around me that each individual has so much power, we can do amazing things we just have to wake up.

answers are only for people who are tired of asking questions.
asking questions brings us closer to life.
accepting answers brings us closer to death.
of course, if we could really get beyond our ego and see what is what, we might understand the world as more of a circle than a straight line.
let's say the middle of the circle is you. and all the points making up the circle are your experiences and opinions. so, every experience and opinion is equidistant from your essential core.
then the best times of your life are just as important as the worst and even those you have forgotten. paying rent is equal to having sex (for example). a really great sandwich is equal to an alright sandwich and so on.
also, by the same logic, having lived a long time does not make one old. having not lived a long time does not make one young. for all ages are equidistant from the essential you.

perhaps the answers are points on the circle and the questions form the other point of the diameter.

yeah, i'm rambling...
hope all is going well for you

Rambling...maybe. Still well said.
