Hmm, Taste Like Soup

Isn’t life supposed to be like in the movies when you try this way and that way and up and down and confuse yourself, and just when you have reached the point of loss and despair, the solution shines down on you like a beacon of hope from God, like a needle in a haystack, like a glorious savior? Isn’t it supposed to end that way for me? From what I can tell, no, it’s not. Oh yes I have been through the trials and tribulations, the hardships and struggles, and just when I reach the point of loss and despair, what do I get? More loss and despair. It seems like life hands us solutions not every time there is a problem, but rather when you there is nothing to solve. The sad truth is that so often, when we seek out the answers to questions that plague our existence, we only end up with more questions that baffle us to the point of no return. But sometimes, if you think about it, and I know thinking about it is exactly what you don’t want to do, but bear with me and think about it…just being in that place, and being in that circumstance is something is very well the solution. Maybe the fact that we are in the predicament can be commentary on the solution to the problem that we have or at least think we have. There are two ways to look at a problem: how can I solve it or how can I use it. So many people search for the answer the way to solve the issue at hand, but maybe the proper approach could lie in the process of using a problem to your advantage. Maybe then, we could happen upon a solution, or maybe then we could happen upon something much, much better.
