I don’t know about you, but when I went through my own personal apocalypse there didn’t seem to be any God, or universal being around to help me. I was by myself. I felt like a stumbling zombie whose existence was being trapped in some unfamiliar maze where nobody was in charge. I lacked all resources to find my way out. If you’re a fan of the AMC TV series, The Walking Dead, and you watched Season 4, then you will remember the Governor (David Morrissey) stumbling mindlessly along the highway as he helplessly ignored all threats of flesh eating rotters. I don’t know what you’ve been through, or where you are now, but this is how my life was going in 2009.
On a more positive note, imagine a vast flat plain before you. You can see all the way to the horizon where the sun is setting on your life. Your forward thinking vision can see your future accomplishments on pedestals between you and the horizon. Some are low, some are high. They are all spread out, but you notice a very complicated system of pathways that connect the different pedestals, and when you look down you can see the pathway beneath your feet. You can look a little ahead and see all of the different forks and curves, highways and goat paths. You ponder the infinitesimal decisions you have before you. If you look closer to one of those pedestals containing an accomplishment, you will notice that there are numerous pathways to it. But, there is no ONE WAY.
