What are my truths? At this point in my life it seems like my truths seem to be extremely unclear. My family has always believed in God, I’m not saying that I disagree but I began to challenge my beliefs a long time ago. I didn't understand why you had to go to a place of worship like a church to be seen in Gods eyes. I didn't understand how the church could say God loves all his children except those who sin. And I certainly never understood if there was a god, our creator, who sacrificed himself for us how so many innocents could be taken from us daily, from illnesses and accidents but most “sinners” are fine. That to me just never made sense. So I guess my truth is that there is a higher power and is a security blanket for man kind, knowing that “God” or whoever is there in a time of need makes things easier.
Another one of my truths is that the world never stops turning. “The show must go on”, no matter what happens, no matter who it happens to everything always keeps going. I feel like thats a bit heartless to say but after dealing with things personally, like losing my grandmother or best friend, or dealing with things as a nation like 9/11, the world never stopped people around the world still go about their normal routine. This really hit me when my son was in the I.C.U, he had just been diagnosed with toxic shock and a bone infection, and we were told that we could still lose him. My world had been turned upside down it felt like everything came to a screeching halt. I wasn't thinking about the bills or work or anything like that just my son thats it. Then I walked over to the window and watched all the people, some walking, some biking, some driving just going about their normal routine.
The last truth that I can think of is that the love and support of families can make anything better. Having a loved one, or many loved ones support makes all the difference in the world when dealing with anything good or bad. In all the good in my life from graduating high school, to the birth of my son, to dealing with the bad with my husband knowing that I have an amazing son and mother make everything worth while.
The lens of truth in my essay I would say would be that through all the bad there has to be a silver lining somewhere. And the silver lining in my essay would be finally being able to see a clear picture of my life and seeing how selfish my husband could be and realizing that my son and I deserve better.
