Meaning

We put our own meanings into the happenings in our lives. We interpret actions the best that we can and project outcomes from out past experiences. These are the only resources we have to try to control the chaos of our lives.

Others put their own meanings into the happenings in our lives. Interpret things through their own lenses. When someone you love interprets things differently than yourself, there is conflict. Sometimes hurt. Sometimes loss.s

We look to the members of our families for affirmation. We look to members of our work force for support. But, truly we are alone. NO matter how we attempt to band together the bonds won't hold through the troubles. We are alone.

Is God at our side? Is God at our side conditional on our behaving well or in accordance to Church or social standards? Or is Church and are the social standards just someone else's lens attempting to predict outcomes and control others behaviors? Is it really a combination of both?

Is there meaning?
