WHAT DO YOU THINK KEEPS PEOPLE GOING IN LIFE? January 5, 2006 4:51 a.m.

First and foremost, I think love keeps everyone aboard. Love conquers hate, ignorance, wars and so much more out there. Plus, a passion for something which is their own love feeding their own unique will to live. People can be passionate about many tings like quilting, sewing, work, hunting, collectors, books- its many things really. Often times its peoples love for their own pet is what keeps them functioning and going. Pets can be dominating forces in some people lives that often it’s a common bond with other people. In some people it could be a weekly conversation with someone that you just talk to about the world or so forth. Its often a job alone that they’ve worked for since they were really young. So that’s all they’ve ever done. Without work it could be that their whole life went down the drain for them. Many in the world want to find their true soul mate and won’t quit till they do so. Many keep going from a wide assortment of things like spending time on fishing, hunting, competition or coaching. As weird as it seems but drugs and alcohol keep some people going where it feeds their craving. A lot of determination keeps many going. With David’s huge determination he can sometimes overwhelm me with too much. There’s just so much out there that keeping many going-- clothes, food, home, opposite sex, families, vehicles, jobs, entertainment, sports, phone calls, music, their own looks, writing, poets, church, beliefs, health, medicines, power of mind, shoes, will, determination, force, strength, endurance, happiness, talents, children, parents, spouses, blankets, boats, stocks---well a variety of many things. Love is a determining factor in keeping everything going. So, yes we are all creatures of love who not just want to give love but receive it as well. I shall let others be my long life Duracell battery keeping me going and going and going.
