Even as life takes on a new philosophical twist,
it is by no means; a stumbling block.

The needs of people.

If you ever look around, you can see things people need.
Some are in a serious search to the meaning of life; even though they are afraid to admit it.
Some are in a search for partners, for an opposite-sex persona to "complete" them.
Others are in search for friends, even though at my age, its increasingly rare.
Some are in search of happiness, by themselves, or with others.
Quite a few, in engineering at least, are driving for grades, to be successful; to have money.

Its a real pity, that many are too proud to admit what they need.
even in the midst of their incompleteness, its too much to say they're incomplete.
Yet, its evident they continue to press on for completion.

As a christian, one has to really ask, what then can really complete all these people, shouldn't God be the answer? Or is even God not enough; as we can see from many unhappy christians?

To me, perhaps, the truth is we need everything; and in abundance.
For today, Jo mentioned the abundant life, and perhaps this was the answer to the questions.
We need everything in such huge quantities, that it borders on greediness.
We even need God and every inch of his infinite nature.

But also, with some truth, some people just don't need certain things. Not that they are content, but it is just not important to them. But then again, we should ask, is that the best thing for them?
