What is this journey? A journey into the unknown? A journey toward God? A journey toward finding my true self?
Is the journey about me? Making sure I’m a good person, well-respected and well-liked? Making sure I go to heaven? Making sure I’m on the moral high ground? Making sure I’m right and proving others wrong? If this is the journey, I’m not sure where it leads. Perhaps to a greater ego. Perhaps to narcissism. Perhaps to divisions and disconnection. This journey is all about me.
Or is the journey about all of us, together? Do to others what I want them to do to me. God’s will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Finding self by losing self. Loving God and others with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, even my enemies. This journey leads to the good of all. It’s not about me. It’s about laying down my life for others. It’s about inclusion and connection. This journey is all about us.
