If life were so simple...

    If only our rules were so very simple.  But would we be able to follow them? It seems our nature is to follow emotional needs almost without exception and completely dismiss the more reasonable rules for good health.  Many of us are caught in desires and our own rationalizations which we do not understand.  We are aware of the more healthy ways of doing things in life, yet ignore this to be comforted by what we want to do. 

    Is there an answer to this dilemma?  Or is it our path to go in the direction leading to consequences we may not desire?

    Most likely the solution to the problem is to be found in others.  Many of the problems similar to what is described above, that is compulsive behaviors, require us to seek help outside of ourselves.  Our history will confirm this.  We go on for years, yet continue to do the same thing over and over without relief.

    Find your path which leads you to the folks who are like you.  They do exist, are willing to help, and are just like you.  Your brothers and sisters, waiting with open arms, need you.  Seek them out and become a part of rather than apart from.  Be loved.
