Everyone has his
or her own stories. Yet at the same time, everyone has the same story. We all
start off in this life with a smack on the bottom and a small shudder of a
breath. This start of your life is known as Separation. Next you go into
Initiation, figuring out life, going through pain as well as joy. But is there
anything new left to be done in the place?
"What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun."
Ecclesiastes 1:9
The great
mythological book The Bible seems to believe that there is no longer anything
new to be done down here. How boring would that be though? Never anything
different, nothing surprising. I know that personally I would go crazy if this
was totally true. Thankfully there is a small loophole to this seemingly life
long curse; you must take what's already been done and make it your own. Use
your own style. Because you know what is new in this world? You are. We are. There
has never been a person alive on this earth that is exactly like you! This is
what you have to work with. Now go and be original!!
I love that. Take what has already been done and make it your own! It really does make the thought that everything that is happening has already happened less dull. However, in a sense it is sort of a comforting thought; especially in difficult times. Knowing that someone else has experienced what I am going through throughout my life makes me realize I'm not alone in this!
