How is that possible?  How can we become something better than we are? Sure, we can get better at doing things.  And perhaps our being is defined by some as how well we are able to do those things.  But can we really be better than we are?  Fast forward a few years and we’re still trying. Still attempting to win their approval.  We work insane hours at jobs we don’t really enjoy to pay bills that we stack up while aiming to become something we aren’t.  Most of us settle in fairly well. We eventually forget there ever was a recess.  We build our kingdoms.  And as we build, we form opinions about why our kingdom is better than the kingdom next door.  As technology races to keep up, we find ourselves dodging attacks and taking our own shots at those neighboring kingdoms on social media.  We gain friends or lose them based on how much they approve or disapprove of our opinion of how we are doing at being.   What’s the point of it all? And if we want to stop, can we?  Could it be that as far back as our first memory, we have unknowingly been influenced into writing an internal program that can only operate one way?  And absent from re-programming ourselves, are we destined for something or someone other than who we really are?  Are some of us living a paralleled existence...bouncing back and forth between who we are, and who we are meant to be?
