All share a common destinyβthe righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean…This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all.
Ecclesiastes 9:2-3
We’re all on the unavoidable path. We share the common destiny.
We may live virtuously. We may live in depravity. It doesn’t matter. Death awaits us all.
But perhaps, in this shared fate, we’re called to live fully. To embrace our moments, to feel the low times, to find joy in the present, because in the end, itβs the life weβve lived that defines us, not the inevitable end.
What does a full and authentic life look like to you? Only you can define that, but for sure, it doesn’t come from your social media feed. It doesn’t come from your neighbor. It doesn’t come from the outside.
It comes from within. Within you and your inner circle. Within your relationship to God or the Universe or the Spirit.
We call share common destiny. Look within to find your road.
