Bear with me for a moment while I vent some frustration that I have been holding in for a while.
Why do humans have an obsession with a competition of outward appearances? So many waste precious time, energy, and money on how others will view them.
You sacrifice your soul, everything inside of you, for this shell you have created. Faith, compassion, and true joy have been destroyed in this journey to be viewed as superior. Your life has become an empty eggshell... flawless to the eyes, but delicate and hollow.
Someday something hard or strong or heavy will come along and begin to crack your thin shell. A person, a situation, an accident... out of seemingly nowhere your perfect facade will chip away. When you fall apart, nothing will be left... revealing the hollowness of the life you created.
Do not allow this competition to consume you. Complete yourself, build up your spouse, pour into your children. Fill your kids with hope, joy, wisdom, and love. We were never promised that this life would be easy. But, when something attempts to break them down, they can stand on their own and will not fall to pieces.
This shell that consumes your heart is a transparent one. Your emptiness is visible.
