You know Dorothy I remember growing up JW and it was not real great, it was not real bad but still it was not great either. The thing is I remember what it is like to be indoctrinated with a message and purpose and those both involved going through different motions while basically waiting for the New System and that would be when life really started. It was and is a destination sort of lifestyle. After leaving JWdum and starting over I began to see that life is not about destinations because the only destination guarantee any of us has is death. This life is about the journey to that final destination(as far as anyone can conclusively prove at anyrate). This life is about learning, loving, being loved, passing through layers of maturity, gaining perspective and some wisdom along the way.
Looked at like that you are merely growing right now and that means more self discovery and self definition these are good things. They can also hurt or seem overwhelming but that is the great and grand thing about life it is freaking waaaaaaaaay overwhelmingly huge and complex and often paradoxic. We are here for such small momment in time it seems a waste to travel in circles or not fall in love with our passage through time and the universe.
Tucker
But again it is the absurd and its contradictory life that teaches us. For the mistake is thinking that quantity of experience depends on circumstances of our life when it depends soley on us.
