Priorities(what's really worthwhile)

another important thing in this journey of being, i think. specially when it comes to purpose.. is discerning priorities in the myriad of choices that will come to you but there is a good guide, you only just have to discern what really is worthwhile(and the "being" post can guide you as well - (1)trust in the difficult haha --(2) and usually transitory thing s don't have as much value as things eternal, go figure -- but this is obvious, why bet big on things that do not last?) -- but there is a danger here if one is cynical and/or dishonest with the self, you can say and even argue very well that nothing lasts! and you are absolutely right. nothing does last in the material world. and poor you if your purpose and meaning rests solely in it -- it won't be long that you'll be convinced of the absurdity of life, and despair is but a short hop from there. but of course since we are aware that being human means using reason, we are a bit better off now since reason delves into the abstract, the realm of ideas -- where i can hazard a guess that that is where the word "ideals" came from^_^ .. "being " i think is a mix of the transitory and the eternal.. being is a work in progress, it does not stop because humanity has yet to determine the limits of its potential and though reason has helped us perceive our humanity it has also opened vistas that reason itself cannot fully comprehend, for all we know this journey of being, leads to or ends in, the eternal. and each of us who dare travel this road contribute our infinitesimal bit, and if enough bits are put in, the cup may finally runneth over and our purpose accomplished, i wonder where that leads^_^? aah, the limits of reason =) [the first A Prayer Shared post should be perfect after this >;p *heh*]
