Answers. Who really has them? Some people speak in absolutes as if they understand the
totality of everything. Other people qualify every statement making sure we understand their
modesty that keeps them grounded, while they make sure we know that they believe their life
is grand. There is an answer for everything.
The only problem is there was never really a question. Human beings are competitive
animals. A culture where most of us live in homes, wake up, go do our thing at work, come
home, and go to a show once in a while. Market conditions dictate the money earned, and
there are millions of talented people doing amazing things every day. Some of these
amazing people make $millions while others make $hundreds. Some make $0. Yet, the
competitive desire to be better requires us to have answers that break us away from daily
monotony that we know others live, too.
Talk of travels, jobs, neighborhood, and accumulated friends and lovers are often the
answers. Maybe the real answer is to create the question. How do I live a life I want to live
without answering to others? The person who doesn't provide unsolicited answers is the
one I look to who probably did create the question, and is living as he answered.
