Saturday, March 23, 2002 Something Deeper We hide behind so many walls... I was reading Jessica's blog, Jalzee's World, which I've mentioned before, and wondered, How is she able to get so deep when there's a potential for so many people to be reading? When people know you--the real you, the one that hides underneath the things you say, the one that is when no one else is near--they can hurt you more easily, more deeply. We desperately want to be loved, to share our innermost selves with others, but the potential for being hurt is so great. Someone once said that the one thing humanity wants most is to fully know and be known. But how can we do that? I've seen this longing manifest itself in my life, in the lives of my friends--the desire for a significant other, the search for something spiritual, the determination to join a fraternity or sorority... the list goes on and on. You know what? We were created for community. We were created to be loved and to pour out our love in return. Only God can fully know us--but that doesn't mean that everything gets happy and easy from there. Life is still hard. But it's comforting to know that underneath it all, "We're all just the same/We're all just as good, just as bad, and just as distracted/ By the corners of our eyes as our fathers were and theirs before" (Caedmon's Call, from "The Truth"). So I guess if we're willing to be honest with each other we'll find out we're not so different after all. ^ Top | 11:38 PM | | |
