What are the
difficulties of going our own way? Going our own way means there is no upward
direction except in the eyes of others. Going our way means there is no eternal
hope for our life. In addition, any hope we carry within us is something we
have to generate on our own. Going our way means we will experience suffering
and pain without purpose. If by chance, we discover a purpose to our pain and
suffering, the purpose is a purpose we must assign rather than a purpose
assigned by God. In addition, going our own way means we will carry within us
an emptiness and darkness. Persons who are self-consumed and self-absorbed
drink alcohol and use drugs to ease the pain of the emptiness and darkness.
When we go our way instead of God's way there is an inner gnawing making us
feel the need to run and run and run to get away from being eaten up by our
darkness.
