Are we all just standing naked, taking guesses at the actual date and time?

Today is my first blog in a long time. I find it unusual that I have such a hard time taking the time to blog. Recently, I have been working 40 hours a week, trying to get a little wedding planning done as much as possible, and attempting to have fun during summer.

As I sit and write this evening I ponder at the question asked in the title of today's blog. This question comes from Jason Mraz in his song "Live High."

My guess is Jason Mraz is trying to prove a point of what is actually real? Jason Mraz has a good point. This song strikes many questions to my mind.

How do we know the difference between reality and make belief? Who is to say what is real? Who is to say what is fake? Who determines what is right? Who determines what is wrong? Who determines what is cool or "in" or stylish? Who determines what kid at school is a nerd? Who draws the line of right and wrong at work and school? Who sets the standard? Who creates the double standard? Who gets a double standard? Which employee gets rewarded with the double standard and why? Is everything just a waste of time? What is the point of school? What is the point of work? Why can't we just live life and be happy? Who defines you? What defines you? Who are you? What do you see when you look at the starving man on the the side of the road? When you look at other people what are you looking at? Who are you looking at? Do you see more than what is on the outside? Why should I care? Why worry? Why conform? Does it all amount to nothing in the end? What is art? Who says that life is not art? What is the definition of life? Why can't you just make your own definition for your life? Why do people think everything should be easy? Why can't we all start over when we wish to? If we are given a second chance why do turn it down? Why do we rush to start our lives? Why? Who? What? When? Where? How?

I guess the point of this blog is to try to help me answer some of my questions.

I know life isn't always easy, but who said that this is hard? My life is no where near perfect but its farther from terrible than anything. If I have learned anything from sitting at this desk today I suppose it would be, why should I be thinking about all these questions when my life is incredible? If we all just sit and wonder "what if" nothing would ever get accomplished. I guess what I am trying to say is we should all follow our dreams and listen to our heart. Sometimes our heart is smarter than our head. We should not look for approval from our peers if we aren't truly happy. If we cannot make ourselves happy then how can we make everyone else in the world happy? Why do we waste our lives trying to meet the standards of other people when we can't meet our own standards? What do we do everything for? Who do we do everything for? What do we live for? Can we stand up for what we say we believe in?

Life: It is what you make it.

God bless.
