Seekers or Succumbers?

Many scholars, philosophers, and wise individuals have noted the need of the human heart to go beyond the here and now; of the fact that we are not satisfied with what is, but seek what might be. At least, those who desire to be alive and ardent are seeking. But where does all this seeking lead us? To discontent, constant change, endless questioning? Where do we find our peace?

I suppose like all matters of the heart, it depends on your intentions. If you are discontent simply because you judge nothing ever good enough for you, that might be a real emotion/psychological problem. But if you are discontent because you are seeking the calling you've been born to, that is a different matter entirely. If you are discontent because you sense meaning, and are being led, that is a call.

Our culture doesn't reward those who seek, but rather those who succumb to the pressures of success. Seekers are the rarity, and therefore a novelty. Seekers are also those who live deeply, who experience profoundly, and live richly rewarding lives.
