Every Important Thing A Man Searches For In His Life

Every important thing a man searches for in his life – a mentor, a role model, some place to be, somebody to be there with, something to do, something to sustain one.

Companionship, and a sense that it will be ongoing, that it can be depended upon, that it can be trusted.

Truth, some understanding of his place in the world. How all of that works that he can see around him. Not myths and traditions and religions made up long before to try and explain it, but what is really going on around one, and how it works. Don’t get me wrong, stories from ancestors of how they lived are certainly important, but not by which to live one’s life in the present.

In fact, one could argue that religion has been a destructive force in the world, setting up ideas of good and evil, simply to convey ancient writer’s fears. Religion doesn’t allow people to ‘be’. We are all types in the world, equally valid as one another.

An understanding of the interior, is needed, why man feels the way he does, and, no, he is not unusual to desire the things he desires. As long as you are not hurting anyone else… 

Morals are easily learned from living, if you kill someone, you are likely to be killed, if you cheat someone, then you have allowed cheating to be viewed as okay.

Being curious all one’s life must be as important as many other things; an interest, a desire to learn, a genuine fascination for the world around. Constant discovery, challenging oneself to learn, a regard for all the things there is to know.

And love. It will probably be different things at different times in one’s life… but the way they look back at you, that never changes.
