For the past week we've been talking about religion and Christmas at work.
Someone really asked me, "Wait, you don't celebrate Christmas because you're not Christian?"
What? Is the meaning of "Christmas" (yes, I know, they took pagen tradition and turned it "Christian") is really that lost? We are really that lost? I know this person celebrates Christmas, because I got a Christmas card from them. So...I don't get it. Do we really just do things, because that's what's to be done? We don't know why?
How disheartening (sp?).
I know that I do the same, when it comes to some things. Like eating out, it is hard to find vegan food, so I just order whatever.
I suck.
I don't want to anymore. Its just hard. Growing up, doing the right thing, being youself....its all so hard. All well worth it, I know. I don't want to be lost. I don't want tradition for the sake of tradition. I want to have meaning in my life, and I'm so sad that I'm not living up to what I can be.
