In the final analysis, we come to the place where we are forced to accept the fact that each one of us starts out with a blank slate.
.
From that point forward, it should be fairly easy to describe the steps that are bringing us to develop in our growth to be who it is that we are becoming.
.
That is the active way of looking at existentialism if I do say so myself.
.
And I do.

We are--each one of us--turning into the person who it is that we are coming to be.

Sort of a hard concept to put into simplified words. Not yet, anyway.

Ideas develop in a processional way. Some ideas are thousands of years old. Can you imagine changing them in a single lifetime? Can you imagine the struggle that ideas might have when they are only a few hundred years or so old or even younger. The idea that the Bible is the authoritative "Word of God" is going on 1650 years old or so. That's a tough one to overcome in the pathway along which we exist as we move toward our destiny. We want our destiny to be the best it can be not only in some far off supernatural place; but in the here and in the now. Life is precious.

It is the ultimate gift.

Can you imagine?
