What Do We Know?

Ever asked yourself this question: What do I know? The title uses “we” but it is actually a personal question for all of us to ask ourselves. Especially, it should be asked by those with a degree in some higher specialty. We know a lot if we are, say, under forty years old. Once we’ve reached a point in which death comes into play this changes. That is my point in life and it is not a downer to have gotten here; in case you think the gist of this is my age. It ain’t my age!

I went through college and did quite well. I learned what I thought was just about everything I would need to perform the job I took or was offered and did just fine. I was young then and had a mind filled with learning of chemistry, mathematics, literature, etc. Top of my game was I. Now, not so much, as I have learned in the past ten or so years. You see, I almost missed the reality of the game we play as human beings. It is a game that we can all lose and that game is to decipher what is important in life. Thankfully, I became aware of the game earlier in life than some but that was a tattered remnant from combat.

I learned the reality of God. I learned this at around age fifty-two or the change from the millennia of the 1900s. I had the seed planted years before but that tree grew amongst the tall weeds generated by work, social occasions, and raising children. All the general stuff of being social and having friends. God was always there but not in the forefront of my existence or, for that matter, the existence of all of us. Once I understood this I realized that it was almost too late to fix it.

Now, I have always believed in God but not on a personal level. More of an amorphous level of some entity without attaching love or acquaintance to that entity. The Moon may have very well served my beleif system. It certainly did for the ancients with caves and clubs and being frightened of the dark. I have never been into cave drawings.

I would suggest that you who come here take a few moments and introduce yourself to the One who knows you better than yourself knows you. It can take only a moment in which you divorce yourself from what you think you know to what you actually do know. It is mind bending for some and a waste of time for others. Unfortunately, this is the truth of life. Some get it, some get it later in life and some miss it until it is too late. The world is in spin and waits for no person. God does wait.
