What is life all about, anyhow?
There is no set answer to this question. Each person has their own answer to this question. We are born, we die, and it's the bit in between that is our life. Our path being unique, to each individual.
If you came here to read this article and web site to find the answer to that question, you have learned the first thing that most people come to understand. The answers we seek are not out there. The answers are rather within us.
An old, aboriginal story goes something like this:
"A European hunter went out one morning with his aboriginal guide.
Their day went about as planned and the hunt was successful. It was time to return to the camp.
They walked for what seemed like hours to get back to the camp and the hunter realized they were lost. He turned to the guide and accused the guide of getting the two lost.
The guide was confused by this accusation. 'It is not us that are lost, we are right here. It is the camp that is lost.'"
It is also said this way, "Where ever we go, there we are."
No matter where we go in life or what we do, there is always and only one common denominator. That is ourselves. When we seek outside of ourselves to find our answers and do not, it is because the answers are not out there. They are within ourselves.
The act of life is a journey and an experience. Without which it is said, we have not lived. Along the journey, we do not find love. We do not find happiness. We do not find ourselves. Rather, it is how we choose to experience the moments during the journey that we find what we are looking for.
