I was super discouraged last night as I wrestled with my thoughts on this paradox. So what is the whole goal in life? How do I figure out what is most important and what is best? I can't just toy with God's hand in the world, but all of my desires seem to be aiming at just that. Why is that? I have desires to feed the hungry, rest the weary, reduce food waste, shelter the homeless, and so many things that seem like they will ruin God's hand...but then I realized that it is not God who is causing all these problems, but it is humans and their agency and their lack of cohesion with one another that has created all these problems. That means that there is going to be very little that is going to keep me from trying my best to change these dilemmas the best that I know how...but I will do it one soul at a time. I don't work well with lots of people at once, so I will work with one at a time.
But I still have a dilemma...how do I know that this is the best way to spend my time? Because it makes me feel good and makes those I affect feel good? I guess that is right. I hope that is right.
Now with my final dilemma...how do I know what I can do that is where my soul will be most useful...I do not have an answer to this yet. Still searching....
I thought this was an interesting video...my teacher Mr Burnett in my World Religions class showed this to me...made me think about some different things and it is funny
