WHO ARE YOU?

Have you every wondered who you really are?  Are you really a human body or are you a separate entity... a soul trapped within a body?  Why are you here, in this place and at this time?  Where did you really come from and where are you really going?  What happens to the you... the real you... when your body dies?  

How does all of this relate to the stress you feel every day, and why do you feel that stress?  Why do you have pain, anger, happiness, love, frustration or even hatred?  Why is it that we fight each other, that we argue, that we go to war to kill and plunder?  Why can't we live together in peaceful co-existence and use our unlimited resources for the benefit of our fellow mankind instead of creating weapons of mass destruction?  

Some of us feel lonely, isolated or unwanted.  While almost all of us do something in our lifetimes that is fundamentally wrong, why do some of us thrive on such activity while others feel overwhelming guilt?  

Why do some people commit suicide?  Could it be that the search for  answers to these and other questions has driven them into mental anguish and illness?  

There had to be a beginning to all of this, but what was that beginning?  Did the "big bang" kick it off?  If so, where did the matter come from which existed when the big bang occurred?  Who or what created that?  Are we, as logical beings, expected to believe that there is something out there... some all-encompassing super power from which all things emanate?  

Scientists are beginning to accept the theory that there is something out there which exists, but which cannot be defined.  There are mysterious, unknown forces flowing through the universe which even the brightest minds cannot comprehend.  Yet, the only reasonable answer to all of this is:  We are who and what we are, but we are all part of the whole.  And the whole... the entirety of it all... must be God.  Therefore, you are part of God... and so is Nancy Pelosi.  

Sip on your latte' and contemplate that.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
