Last night I watched a movie named Courageous and it struck me that this one police officer was able to find the positivity of the reality around him even when his daughter died and his friend was caught stealing from evidence, when I don’t see it and I seem to have a perfect life. This along with the G.S. Vacation made me look at how I have been living and question what I was doing and whether it satisfied me or not. This was my second vacation and I went to see old friends and have a good weekend more so than to learn about myself and understand more about reality and my needs. During the vacation I roomed with four amazing individuals and they began to open my eyes to something I had shut myself off from. I began to look at what I had been doing with my life and whether it satisfied me or I just did it because it was cool or it would stop me from being bored. I began to understand the needs I had, and to realize that I alone couldn’t fulfill my needs because I desire what is impossible. I began to learn more about myself and others around me and about the inexorable positivity of reality. I left the vacation with a longing for more and a desire to learn and develop a relationship with Christ. These events help us to see what fulfills our need and our desire for more.
