How Things Are?

There is the reality of “how things are” and the hope/passion for “how things should be.”  There is the recognition of “how I think things should be” and the reality of recognizing my own limitations of knowledge and understanding.  Therefore, what I perceive to be “how things should be” and what may actually be the truth of “how things should be” may be different.  Resolving the difference between them is difficult, as 1) one needs to recognize one’s own limitations and 2) one needs to learn to see where to turn for help in order to find the actual “how things should be”. 

Then there is the problem of addressing or not addressing someone else’s “how things should be”.  All versions of the truth are influenced by our own desires, passions, interests and sinful inclinations. No one has perfect vision or understanding, so we are left in a position of doing the best we can, while trying to be humble but at the same time “wise” with what we have to work with.
