What? Where? When? Why?
What is the meaning of life? Where am I going? When will it all make sense? Why am I here? These are the questions that have preoccupied the great thinkers and philosophers of the ages as well as millions of other people.
I had a professor in graduate school who would wax philosophical as he drove down from the mountains to the university each morning. He would ask the question this way – “Are we just on a mud-ball flying through space?”
I don’t believe for a moment that any of us are here by accident. And it is, therefore, no accident that we ask these questions. I wholeheartedly believe that those deep longings to know and understand are a part of our psychological and emotional DNA. They have been wired into us at the core of who we are. And the cool thing is that we are not left alone in a vacuum to try and figure it all out. There are clear answers to be found – answers that will guide us in: our marriages, our parenting, our careers, and much more. We will be exploring these issues together in “Monday’s Matter.”
