Some of the questions I hate:
What you would do if you knew you could not fail?
What would you do for free?What makes you cry?
What makes you angry?
These are the kinds of things people ask you at job interviews, therapy sessions and counseling sessions. LOL.
If life were simple, there would be something that answered all of these questions. Then, somehow, magically, I would have the answer of what to do with my life.
What would I do if I knew I could not fail? Write novels, sing on Broadway, tell the person I love how much I love him. Pray out loud. Be a preacher. Be an elementary school teacher. Be a college professor, direct musicals.
What would I do for free? Most of the things above. However, the world charges money for things…so I need a job.
What makes me cry? Betrayal. Rejection. Shame. Injustice. Poverty. War.
On a less grand scale – the plight of urban young people… it’s painful to see how much some people have and how reluctant they are to share and show God’s love in action. In return, it is painful to see young people who have given up on life because they think no one gives a damn about them.
What makes me angry – see above.
I am angry that five years out there are people still living in FEMA trailers in NOLA – that if they were of a different ethnicity or economic strata they would have homes by now… but because those in power (on both sides of the aisle) ignore those who “don’t matter” they continue to sink deeper and deeper into the third world in the middle of the first world.
And if you think that’s not true… take a look at Haiti – six months out ….going into hurricane season… and they are living in squalor in tent cities.
How do I turn all of that into a life calling? How do I take care of myself and the world…?
