Opus 2018-308: Raison D’etre

What is your reason for living?  It is early in the morning and still dark outside.  My body is still waking up and my mind has not been dulled yet.  It is time to wax philosophical.

Why get out of bed?  Why change my underwear?  Does it make any difference if I shave today?  What is the meaning of life?  All of these questions go together.  The answers play a big part of how we come to decisions and what the results are.

Take our stereotype of the corrupt politician.  What motivates someone to sell a country of over 300 million people down the drain to put a few dollars in their bank account?  What makes homosexuals come out in support of Islam?  Why did feminists support Bill Clinton?  Why should you return the extra $10.00 the car hop gave you in change?

It all goes back to your reason for living.

Maybe you never ask those kind of questions.  Maybe your big concern for the day whether your concoction at Starbuck’s is the right temperature.  That in itself brings up questions.

I hope you like your answers.

Merry Christmas.
