I find it difficult to find contentment. How about you? I know that there are those who practice living in the present, being satisfied with the status quo, remaining calm and peaceful, and experiencing "joy." I just don’t seem to be one of those people.
I am always looking at the present in terms of the things that need to change in order that a "better" future might be attained. There are certain subjects that I really get worked up about. For example, the state of the church in America. Another example, the state of organizations that I have once been a part of. Even though my current involvement is minimal, or in some cases, non-existent, I think I could actually froth at the mouth without trying very hard!
Some folks take medication for this kind of condition. I have not found a magic pill that will take away this discontent. Maybe I could at least be nicer about these things that make me downright angry. Ah well, these are the kinds of reflections that are crossing my mind on the eve of 2008!
