I've been so busy working through life and it's bends that I have failed to see the reason behind things. I have found that to know anything, is not to know the answers, but to know the questions. "If you know the answer, then you have not heard the question." The real path through life is a private path. There are questions that cannot be answered to me by anyone other than me. Finding the questions though is not the ending of ones path, but a pause, awaiting the resumption once we have fully experienced this life.
The greatest epiphany of life is the understanding that all the rest of it, emotional and physical is not but a platform. All of our accomplishments in the external are diminished many times over if they do not serve to turn us inward. There and only there lies our meaning.
My great frustration was one of both my own doing and those around me. No one person is to blame. People have forced me to observe the outside, and I didn't understand but I tried, so I looked out there for the answers, to questions I didn't even know. The search was in vein and brought me great pain. Maybe now that I see the questions I can continue my life where I left off so many years ago.
