We all seek it. We all want it. We all think, at one time or another, "why does nothing exciting happen in my life?" or better worded "Why don't I ever get to have adventure?" The last couple of weeks, I've realized that all of life is an adventure.
What brought all this up? I have no idea.
How many times have you wanted to know something absolute? Or for something to seem....complete? You want to know something certain....or you just want to know? Me too. A lot. But where would the adventure in life be if you knew what happened next? Think of all the adventure books you've read; theres the beginning, where you find the character. Then theres the whole of the book, where the story unfolds. You can't wait to turn the page and figure out what happens next in this story. Great thing is that you actually have to turn the page and read it to find out what happens. How many times have you just not been able to wait to find out what happens, so you read the last chapter of the book, or even the last page? I know, I have too and it ruins the story. "So wait, when did he die?" was the worst one I ever did, and it was horrible! I didn't even want to read the rest of the book.
How would life really be if we knew the end of our story? There would be no mystery (sound familiar?), no adventure, no learning, and no growing. Do we really want to know what happens?
