The Gems of Life

During my mental meanderings I've had an epiphany! Don't laugh! People spend all of there life looking for the gems of life, love, happiness and peace. Not everyone achieves them, but we all spend our lives searching for these elusive qualities. Human try absolutely everything to find them, from becoming workaholics to religious recluses. No one has the answers, because humans are a 3 dimensional creature and we can't see past our own noses. So we all look for a superior force to tell us what to do next, in the past this was a more important goal in life. Religion was a huge part of western society, these days only religious nuts and the eastern side of the world take any interest in a higher power. But why have we decided that a superior being is nil and void? Is it because we hate the thought that someone bigger than us has the right to tell us what we should do? Or is it because we subconsciously know that we've made a huge mess of it?

Where once humanity was a future forward positive creature, we now have become a nostalgic pessimistic society. Though understanding the need for progress and ecological protection loathes the dawning of a new day, bringing with it the next problem and the newest disaster.

Everyday the television and the newspapers bring us bad news, infectious bird flu, the aids epidemic, another country in flood... will it ever end? Probably, but then humanity asks itself the question how will it end? In tatters. It seems to me that the only people who give us any good news is Jehovah's Witnesses, but still doors are slammed and people reject the message brought.

So we continue searching for the gems of life, and life goes on. I just hope that something changes soon!
