165) what confuses you most in life, and why? (University of Virgina)
There are so many unanswered big questions floating in the minds of people. Few years ago in my religious education class, there was one big question that was the topic of discussion. The question was: Who are we?
Till date it is hard for many others, and me to know who we are and the reason is because we have masked ourselves with different peoples identity. Everyone is losing himself or herself while they walk the journey of life. We see people adapt to surroundings since we all know that it is impossible for the surrounding to adapt to us. So after all this, how exactly do you find yourself in the midst of this crowd and identify your true being?
This is the ‘Big Question’ that is bothering me since ages. I try hard to get the correct answer to this question but the answer never approaches me.
I feel that this question is extremely important, as I would want to know who I am truly. One year ago, I went to a religious education retreat where Christian missionaries from Hawaii came to my school and helped us to find out the answer for my ‘Big Question.’ They told us to make blueprint of our life on a piece of paper. I realized that there were so many things that I had not discovered or thought about. My blueprint was very unique as compared to the rest of the group. I actually wanted to discover the adventurous journey of my life and find out where I lost myself.
If this question was answered to me earlier then I would not need to go on the adventurous journey as I would have already known the pros and cons about my life. Everyone says that they know themselves the best, till a certain extent it might be true however, I think that no one completely knows themselves as they lose themselves somewhere in this journey.
