Day 19 - Insight

"I... I, I thought of that old joke, y'know, the, this... this guy goes to a psychiatrist and says, "Doc, uh, my brother's crazy; he thinks he's a chicken." And, uh, the doctor says, "Well, why don't you turn him in?" The guy says, "I would, but I need the eggs." Well, I guess that's pretty much now how I feel about relationships; y'know, they're totally irrational, and crazy, and absurd, and... but, uh, I guess we keep goin' through it because, uh, most of us... need the eggs."

-Alvy Singer, as played by Woody Allen, in Annie Hall.

Relationships are self-deprecating and a terror on our souls 49.98% of the time... But it's the 50.02%, just barely a majority, that makes it all worth doing, worth committing to.

Don't be afraid, neither, of anything. Don't cower away in fear of something either. Everything worth doing comes with some sort of fear-attachment. And that's the first hurdle to getting there. Is getting over the hurdle one to the finish line. To the finish line!!! La'Illaha Il'Allahu!

"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
-Philipians 3:10-12
