Why life is so dissapointing.

Published on June 11, 2007 By jesseledesma In Personal Relationships

Life is a disappointment because everything is a lie. The idea that if you work and manage your money responsibly you will succeed is a lie.

Romanic love is a lie. Yes, we all have the need to be in an intimate relationship, but real love with a special person is a lie. It is not that you cannot meet some one and fall in love. It is that for some of us love is such a spiritual and extreme experience that only one particular person will suffice. In addition, I do not want to lower my standards.

Of course, the idea “get an education and a good paying job” is a lie. Out of some weird circumstances I ended up applying for a job and got called in for an interview. The person who interviewed me went on about how they need people with a bachelors degree and their state of Texas Counselor Intern degree, both of which I have. He said they had many applicants with associate degree. I thought in the game of degree poker that a bachelor’s degree beat an associate degree.

However, here it is almost a week a later and no call back. (Not that I actually wanted the job.) I was actually contemplating refusing the job is I was offered it. It just hurts to know that I am more than qualified and I am not appealing to these employee hunters.

I am afraid to admit it but issues of faith are even a bigger lie. Since I had gotten in touch with Jesus Christ, my life has actually gotten worse; which I did not think was possible.

Now all I can do is work and make money. However, every day I get more physically and mentally exhausted. At least I figured out how to deal with the exhaustion and dizziness that comes from when I eat anything. I just do not eat.

Now why do I write this miserable diatribe? Well I can only hope you do not make the mistakes I made. Of course, I do not see what is wrong with planning and working at building a life.

Life can be very hard. As soon as you realize that and accept it, things don't seem so bad. Expectations will kill ya. Just think these valley experiences you're going thru will make the mountaintop that much more glorious. You'll get there...just keep climbing.

Have you ever gone hiking? As you continue to slug it up do you notice the trees aren't as big and thick as they are down below? It's like that in life too. As you continue to climb and work at it you start to see it gets lighter and more open. You see so much better at the top and can look down and see the darkness from whence you came.

As far as Christ is concerned. He never said life would be easier when you come on board with him. Where did you get that idea? In fact, he and all his Apostles warned us that it will be just the opposite. Jesus said to "expect" persecution and affliction. The first thing Satan does is go on the attack. I tell new Christians this all the time. As soon as he sees you're resolute he'll flee. Just keep climbing. Surround yourself with those that will encourage you. That helps alot. There is much joy around the corner. Don't give up.

Stay strong.

You sound so depressed. You sound unhealthy, eating should not cause dizziness - get your sugar levels checked for diabetes of a kind. Get some help for the depression too.
