Man created planes to soar like birds, scuba gear to swim like fish, and has modeled so many other things as to have all sorts of animal traits. The human race seems to want to be everything but itself. We wonder what our purpose is. I believe that humans can be especially selfish beings for not utilizing the things that they have, and were created with, that no other being on the world has: the ability to know God. This will forever puzzle me as the human race continues to move forward in its own direction and not God's, because the further they become unlike themselves, the further away they are from their original purpose.

Logic.

The strangest things puzzle me...but this one is the most confusing. Haven't you noticed that the more time goes on, the less spiritual people there are in the world?

Everything you have will someday be gone. Even if you don’t miss it now, you probably will later. So take pictures and hide them in your memories so you can recall them later after everything that is becomes everything that was. OR I know you’re hurting, even if it’s just when you’re alone and thoughts seem to rush into your head and you can’t seem to keep them from coming in. But there can be beauty in pain; Even though sometimes it’s hard to see.
