Saturday Sermon
February 25, 2006It's awfully difficult to separate what you think is right and what you feel is right, especially when it comes to something you care very deeply about. And regardless of which angle it's looked at, every honest human being, after careful consideration of every possible factor, should know the difference between the two and act based upon what is actually right. The only problem with that is sometimes there really is no right answer. And if there were, many of the world's serious problems would be solved. Many of life's illusive conflicts could be easily put to rest if all we had to do was get together and find that one answer. We know it's there and we know it's right, so once it's found we would have no other option but to agree that that's the way it is. No hard feelings, no sadness, no anger...just understanding and joy that everything is the way it should be. But that's never going to happen because humans are constantly conflicted, not only with situations involving other people, but conflicted within themselves in what they feel or think is right. And those people who think they know what's right are probably the most conflicted, for how can you absolutely know something that has no evident answer? But really it's all subjective based on what's deemed most important. And with that I, for one, am happy to believe that I have made the right choices in this life because I value the importance of the outcome. But then again, do I really have much choice?
