The life cycle has many changes as we go through it. From the predictable to the unpredictable, we long for continuity and we long for change.( Juxta- position) There is a sense that in getting the best out of life there needs to be a shaking to unsettle us.
I am not suggesting we need a catastrophy to get the best out of life but there is a noted point that when one is shaken or faced with a an unpredictable situation one can improve or develop from it. Of course these situations can also have a negative effect.
How do we cope with change or the predictable?
Is there a formulea or step by step guide?
Do we just hang on and let the passing of time dull our senses and change our memory to something more appealing?
Many have had religious experiences in times of truma or change. Perhap from the call out to outside their situation to a God even. In a request for help many have found a solution and even God.
In the crying out, what is it that is required that creates the yearning or cry?
Is it a stress manangement tool?
Is it a longing for something better?
Is it looking at the greener grass over the fence?
Does it stem from a life truma?
Is it a lack of peace in life?
What is it then that people are crying out for/to?
In the 70's miscontentment was thought to be a social mismatch from the post war years and societies ability to cope with more resources. Money or more accurately in the West the abiity to spend more did not satisfy the yearnings.
Then we had the drug revolution which was going to solve everything or at least show us a way to buffer the life strains.
As you reflect on some of these question,... What conclution do you come up with?
