I think that most of us believe that nearly everyone else has their life all together and also has everything figured out. It seems a natural thing to believe that.  I have found out after many long years of observing my fellow human beings that that is not true.  Most people do not have everything figured out.  In fact, they all run around in confusion and live their lives pretty much the same way that I do:  confused, dazed and most often in some kind of  haze. Sure there are many who appear to 'have their act together'.  And probably a lot do in a lot of different ways.  But I figure that no matter how 'together' they are there is some part of their life that gets away from them on occasion.  This life is just too complicated to not cause confusion and disarray. After all,  I believe that that is what it is designed to do.  We learn that taking on the whole world is really not a good thing.  It is better to just take on ourselves, or that part of ourselves that opposes us and then hope that we can do a little bit more that can help others and generally make a contribution to the greater good if we have anything left over.  You still win if you make it and have a few close ones with you.  You don't have to save everybody nor is that possible or expected of you.  Just do the best that you can do and encourage others to do the same and then leave them to do what they can, and you do what you can.  I have taken great strength in recent months in realizing just how many great, competent and wonderfully strong 'brothers and sisters' are out there struggling along just as I am.  And I am confident that together (and with Father's help) we WILL get the job done.
