The quest...

One of the key challenges in ones life is finding the right quest to drive us to live. Sounds a bit weird the first time you read it, I guess, but think about it, doesn't it make sense? Finding what drives us, where we want to go, rather than where we are going. It is easy to find where we are headed, just takes a bit of reasoning, but finding out where we want to go, well that involves how we feel about things, how easy do we accept things that might not make sense, how we deal with our thoughts, our dreams, etc. Putting all of that into an equation, and producing an answer... Is it any wonder that we get it wrong most of the times? That is I think one of the reasons people change their minds about their direction, it is not they changed, but simply considered another variable of the equation. In engineering we used multi-variant statistics to deal with such problems. Problems that have multiple variants that cross affect each other. In engineering it is acceptable to define a statistic that most of the time is right, thus there is no need to model the complete equation, but is this enough in life? Specially when we are not aware of effects of errors? There is no reboot for our life is there? Choices can be binding, this scares us, and thus a 10% error is not really acceptable...
So I leave you with something to consider, the fact that you don't define a quest doesn't mean you wont live according to one. Listen to the song, and answer the questions that it poses, you might be surprised to find that you have more answers that you think, and at the same time less answers than you would hope...



I’m leaving tonight
Going somewhere deep inside my mind
I close my eyes slowly
Float away slowly
But I know I’ll be alright

It’s calling stronger to me
And I know someone is out there
Lead the way
Lead the way
Show me the answers I need to know

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that


All my life (love), it is
It is all my love
All my life, it is
I know it is the life to live lately
From above, I hear
I hear the sound of them singing
I feel loved, I’m alive
I know I’m getting closer

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that


My life has had it’s share of troubles
And now I found a place to go
I’ve said goodbye to all my troubles
'cause now I’ve found my place to go

ohhhhhh......

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that

What I’m gonna live for
What I’m gonna die for
Who you gonna fight for
I can’t answer that


Live For
Die For
Fight For
That
