I want

I want meaning and beauty. I want to live without regret and guilt. I want to give something that lastingly adds to the world. I want to know that something I'm doing is important. I want to give more than I take from the people I love. I want to shed the falseness from my life and be true and honest. I want to feel fulfilled and satisfied with the things I've done and the things I am doing. I don't want to feel the need to post cheesy stuff like this.

I think I'm number 7?

I don't think that's cheesy at all, Paul, I thought it was beautiful, accurate, and moving. It summed up exactly the way I feel, too, and I bet that's true for lots of people. At least, people who care enough to think about the question in the first place.

It really touched me, thank you.

On this Thanksgiving, I want to say how proud I am that you are actually pursuing meaning and beauty, deciding to give more, and forming your conscience and will to find what is true. This act of will toward growth, this movement of desire and conscience toward love, is all the difference in life, the "road less traveled" that few dare to take. Indeed, I would say it is almost impossible to take without faith.

I can speak from experience that you should not be surprised to find yourself fluctuating between all of these levels at various points in your life. Thank goodness God has a great sense of humor - and patience!
