It Is Tiring To Always Be Running From Yourself

You are searching, hunting, working very very hard to find something.

.

You think it is money because then you would be free.

.

You think it is love, respect and affection because then you would be at peace within and your relationships will work.

.

You think it is a better body shape because then you would have energy and feel good about yourself.

.

There is an emptiness you feel but do not acknowledge as you go chasing this and that, hoping, hoping, HOPING to finally find what you are looking for.

.

And then there are the religious ones who are searching, longing for more of God — They found God but somehow always seem to have lost him again because the emptiness is not going away even though they thought it was a god-shaped hole they had to fill.

.

And so they take on this ritual and that ritual and try to be perfect as they volunteer for this activity and that activity and they counsel others on how to find more of God by doing more and more of these external things.
