questions

As we sit and watch the state of the world digress we are forced to ask ourselves, what really matters? Is it self? Family? Friends? Work? That is a question everyone must answer for themselves. It seems as everything in the world becomes unholy and impure we must find that one thing to keep ourselves from insanity. To make life somehow meaningfull.
This task, I am afraid, is no easy task. To find a way to make a seemingly pointless existence matter, in any way at all. To stand up, to stand out, to have worth. After all, it all comes down to self worth. You need to feel good about yourselves to feel good about life.
But how does one do this? How does one feel good about who they are? And how does one feel good about this life we live? It is a question that has been asked over and over again until the words seem meaningless. But it is not meaningless. It is everything. How can you possibly feel good about anything if you feel bad about yourself?
Re-examine everything and look at the world in a different light. Find those things important to you. Those things that make life bearable and those things that make you you. Keep those things near and never let go of them. Whether they are physically there or just memories of long ago, never let go of them. Those things are you. Those things can make you get through it all. Get through it to find the point of this existence. To find the joy in life. And once you find the joy in life, you have found what really matters.
