What reality do you want to be in?
Last night I finished the Anime series Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. It had a very confusing story, mainly because the episodes were not chronologically in order. As for their reasons for doing that, I don’t really know, but it did make the story interesting as to how the whole series would close.
But what really caught me was the philosophical aspect of the story. I won’t delve into much, but the biggest question I guess is…
What reality do you want to be in?
We all have the powers to create our own realities. It all depends on how much we will it. For some it is easy, for some it is hard… But we all have this capability.
The question I tend to ask after is… Is that reality true? Is that the "reality" that I’m supposed to be in?
Is that the reality God wants for me?
God wants a certain reality for me, and that is the reality that I must chase. Am I going to that direction now? I guess that’s one thing that I always ask in my prayers…
And now I guess I have more time, or more of… I devote more time to prayer than I used to in the past year. I get to go to mass everyday again. I get to receive the Lord everyday through communion again. I get to do 15 minutes of prayer everyday again.
For sure… This is part of the reality He wants for me. But for some reason I can’t help but think there’s something lacking in the reality I’m in right now. Like He wants me to do something…
Howell… I hope that my more frequent prayers would be able to give me more answers to these questions that I ask. After all, that and Spiritual Directions are the means to be able to understand the answer.
