I urge you to continue to seek, and to seek earnestly. Not because these things are easy, but because they are so important. Because I believe it's important to seek truth and not be complacent, because truth structures how we think and how we live. If we don't know truth, then what is the reason behind the things we do?
And it's not about discovering a belief for the first time. We all believe in something. We believe that doing well in school will get us a high-paying job, and a high-paying job will lead to some sort of satisfaction. This is an example of a truth that we live by -- but what if that truth weren't true? What if money really didn't satisfy, nor did girls or sex.
If the truth we know isn't good, then we waste our time.
This is true for Christians and non-Christians alike.
But if the truth we know IS good, then we would know what we would need to do. Not to say that these things would be easy, but at least the direction would be known.
So, I urge you to continue seek, and seek earnestly. Because these things matter so much.
