There are times when I can just sit and stare into the unknown, supremely confident in my knowledge of who I am and where I am going. The world seems an easy place in which to live, as God provides me with the good fortune to use my talents and help others. No doubt, no uneasy feelings, no fatigue and no worry seem to ever come into the picture. I know the answer, although I have no idea of what the question will be.

The frequent problem with knowing the question without the answer is that you aren't always open to suggestion. I hate narrow-mindedness in any form, and I often find that I am no better than the people or views I reject. Sometimes it takes a patience I have never possessed to figure out what the question is. For instance, the issue of un-wed pregnancy. My answer is that a child should have two parents, equally involved in the raising of that child, and equally responsible. These people should be married when the child is concieved, and if not, should get married once it is discovered that the woman is pregnant. Great answer, simple in it pure form, old-fashioned, and yet I never had a "question". I never had a woman who was nothing more than a friend come to me shorlty after a fun night in the sack and tell me she was pregnant. Therefore, because I never had a question, my answer is nothing more than pure fantasy and narrow-mindedness on how others should live. It is just as narrow-minded as having someone who has heard the question tellimg me that not getting married is the only right answer even though they never were posed with the question of marriage. Maddening, I know, but something to think about, even if I am the only one who cares.
