Random Thoughts..Another Day

Not sure quite what my subject is or what I'm supposed to be writing. I'm not great at doing this whole journal thing and I know that writing on paper is something I'll never do again because it ends up getting lost. I've wondered a lot about myself and about the path and where I'm going each day. I find myself always delving into fantasy like dreams and ambitions or future desires. I also find myself lurking into the thoughts of "what ifs" and "what it would be like if". I've come to feel that suffering isn't just about losing it's also wanting and desirings things that are not there. That is one of the challenges that we must face in our lives and it is hard to overcome when we live in a materialistic, power hungery, money hungery society. A parable that I once heard that may or may not pretain to this starts off with an Elephant that resembles truth. There are two men grasping the elephant. One man is pulling on the tail and the other man is pulling on the trunk. You cannot grasp the whole truth but only small portions of it at a time. Truth is meant to be taken in piece by piece not whole. What's point with this parable you may ask? Well make up your own point and discover what you believe in. I believe that we all desire to live happily and live knowing the truth of everthing but sometimes we may never fullfill these needs. We must just take each day and each breath, each thought piece by piece. Just as if we were a tree growing branches one at a time. I've just thought of my own parable. Imagine a house. If it were built too quick it would fall apart. But put together carefully and thoughtfully it will develop into a strong structure.  Just as the house our bodies are minds are just like that. Once again I feel like I'm just babbling but these are the thoughts that are going through my head. No real reason, just thoughts that I am letting come through.
