Does anyone, like me, tend to listen to things like songs or read books, watch television, or simply solicit advice for sage wisdom and understanding to some of life's most common problems? As my problems seem so deep and personal, these methods appeal to me more and more, yet for every method I seek, and as common as they are, problems often do not really have an answer, nor are they even fully really understood. There are always people and things that seem like they know what is going on, but these oracles of comprehension, never can or fully do understand. I'll admit many people have and do come to me for advice often, they think I know things, and although I may have decent or even good things to say, I always feel so in doubt as to if my answers are indeed, the correct ones. To this, I always wonder 'is there anyone out there who really has the answers and who has life all figured out?' Are there people around who are sure of themselves and that every move they make is a calculated piece of perfection?
I do not believe anyone has the answers, and what advice there may be, is often only a stab in the dark at the supposedly similar problems between the two. I am not saying that people or situations are never alike, but I believe often the true salvation lies within one's own mind. I have always been a fervent believer in the power of the mind, and believe one could do nearly anything with it, and I think, therefore, that is where the answers should come from. Of course the optimal course can never truly be known in the real world, especially since in the real world the alternate courses are seldom known. This is probably why people turn to God, and I can fully understand that need.
It is so hard to think of it this way, that there are really no answers out there, and any answers that one might find, I learn more and more are so murky and un-clear that nothing really can be known. To me, answers are only the fabrication of understandable metaphor, applied to life in a routine and mostly successful manner. What I mean is, answers are things that people make up so as to best fit their needs for a given situation, but there really is no objectively truthful ANSWER, and this is what I and others ought to realise. An answer in my mind is only a suggestion about probabilities, and that is the way I choose to understand it because it makes most sense to me. Am I alone in that belief?
