Seeking the Unknown

Sure, life is overwhelming.  But what else can we do?  Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning news is one example.  Spend a quarter of your weeks earnings on horse raising over the weekend is another.  

There are an infinite number of possibilities one can exercise to ease themselves away in this time to pretend.  To escape - to either motivate or justify a living of earning and work.

Instead of looking for that "escape" - I often find myself journeying to the heart of reason.  Or at least attempt anyway.  It is the aspect of the "unknown" that influences and guides me most.  Knowledge seeping over in endless books.  Implementing a notion of a story line or character into your own life from the movie you saw over the weekend.  The endless hunt to define your life through the music in which you listen to.  These are all elements of seeking something "more", something "greater".  We almost can never be satisfied with what is in the moment - and that is perfectly fine.  

Some people choose to challenge the "unknown" where others find the "unknown" too challenging.  And then there are those who are (or claim to be) fine with whatever.  

I am in no position, or have any power to dictate how one should, or should not, live and spend their life.  By diverse means, we arrive at the same end - and the "unknown" rises every morning at the same time you do.  

Yeah, it's overwhelming.  But what else can we do?
