It was liberating when I came to the realization that i'm not going to find a lot of answers. So stop looking, and start living.
But don't get me wrong.I'm glad there are philosophers and theologians asking those questions. Trying to find answers.
But I figure if I need a change of perspective someone will hand me a book and I will stumble upon it.
My quest used to be money and nothing else. I thought it would make me happy and to an extent it did,but it was a false happiness. One day someone asked me when was I ever truly happy. After some thought I answered and he said just go back to that mindset again. I did and life's been great!
I just turned 46 this month. I have a great wife,no debit, jeep is paid off in June or July, motorcycle is paid for, retired only work 9hrs a week over 2 days at a gun store,and have lots of dogs and cats.
I do miss my work and occasionally the wife let's me go play soldier still.
