This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for February 15, 2009:
the right path towards what?
Sometimes the things we as humans consider to be the worse things and the hardest things are actually a blessing in disguise. We tend to back away from hardship and do things that will relax or soothe us rather than endure the hardship. This may be true in many cases, but then what is the right path? are we seeking temporal joy or eternal joy? are we seeking an easy way or the best way?
One thing I know is that the right way is not always the easy way. It also separates us from temporal joy and even feeling joy all together.
The easy going fun-loving way of living life is full of temporal joy, but is this joy and happiness what we consider the right path? Who can tell then?
After the storm comes the peace...
Someone once said to me, "Along life's journey, if you don't meet the devil, you're going the wrong way because the devil doesn't trouble his own kind but he tries to hinder those that are after God."

Much truth in what you say, living what we believe is not an easy path, nor following our own inner truth / higher self. I believe God is there all the time, we only have to open our hearts to God, it is we who distance ourselves.
I agree..Mankind distance itself for the sake of what? I’ve seen it and notice that the joy of the Lord is being substituted for earthly pleasure more and more each year.
