Our Human Condition

Sometimes we tend to ask our position and purpose in the universe, this is the condition where man can think outside and apart from his position, the capacity to think of someplace else other than the one which he/she stands right now.

Animals do not have this capacity and that only rational beings could truly think as such.

If we have the capacity to be in someplace other than this, then truly that is power, that is the condition in which we are capable.

Because of the effects of the fall we too can rise from sin, misery and even death, that is the condition in which we are also capable of doing.

Rise from sin.

Our current condition is that we are subject to sin and that we too are subject to temptations, urges, passions and natural tendencies which may seem we are not in full control.

So how can we rise to the conditions brought about by the fall? and how can we rise from these urges and natural tendencies that we have?

Revelation

Just last night I had to catch up with an old friend, he was my classmate in college. We was intelligent and idealistic. He just finished taking the bar exams. He seems happy and fulfilled.

As I look back in my life and ponder the things that I have done previously, I don't feel fulfilled and I feel miserable. What have I done this past four years.

Just then the answer came, all this time I have been denying myself of what I should and should become. I will be a lawyer, it doesn't matter what school it is, what matters is the kind of learning I would receive. Help me God! I know this is what you want me to become.
