No One I Know Enjoys Life Even Though They Are Touted As “Accomplished”

Dear God,

I am really worried about the current state of the world. People are working way too hard; almost no one I know enjoys life even though they are touted as “accomplished.” There are still so many injustices; gay people are thrust into deviant acts out of passive rebellion to established authorities and women are still second class citizens in many societies. Body image controls the media and chips at so many people. What ever happened to those thoughts and feelings of purity when we were young? Do those ever return? Please God, bring back that sense of innocence and freedom. We’re all dying here. Bring back honesty, love, and care to the world. Please.

    I completely agree with you, Trent. I really hope that one day we can enjoy life without the pressure of people telling us how it should be enjoyed.

    I agree all of us need to enjoy life more…from enjoyment of life comes the peace and the passion to be who we are meant to be and to learn more too… Urban society seems to think that it’s only hard work, money, trickery and blatant ambition that can get you anywhere. Smelling the roses, taking your time and being who you really are can get you places too - it opens you up to the inside and this is where all the magic is. As for love, honesty and care - we as humans are responsible for loving each other, being honest with each other and for caring about one another. God has given us the tools. We need to use them.

    I feel it too Trent! Well said. The only thing we can do is slow down a bit ourselves and take time to be kind and loving in our own lives.
    Hopefully the “Buddy Upstairs” helps enough of us do this at the same time b/c then a trend will be started that says it’s okay and even “cool”
    to slow down a bit, love one another, and be honest with each other.

    Happy slow & loving living to you!

    I think the only way this is possible if we as a society decide to all take a step back and relax. I can see it happening.
