Pilgrimage

I recently watched a movie that began with someone going on a pilgrimage to fine him self and I got to thinking that isn’t that what life is. Nothing more then a pilgrimage to find who you are.
Who are you? Why are you here? What’s it all about? Where are you going? Are you going to make a difference? Does it make a difference? Can you make a difference? Do you want to make a difference? What do you want? What do you want out of this existence? What are you?
You really don’t have much choice on going on this little quest. It kind of gets thrust upon you. You cruse along for a few years and the next thing you know it’s “Here’s life go for it”.
And what is it we thirst for? Fame, fortune, success, honor, glory, recognition, understanding, love, good looks, prestige.
And when have we completed our journey? The only thing we know for sure is that we all wind up gone. Dust. Dead to the world.
So what is it we are looking for as we travel through space on this satellite called earth?
I myself have yet to find the answer. Although I must admit that I have found some treasures along the way. I think that the best things found this quest are love and friendship.
