In a long conversation, a friend told me recently that: 1) he no longer buys into the “God story” [his words]; and 2) he is—in so many words—restless, cynical and disillusioned with life. It’s interesting to me that he didn’t seem to see a connection between #1 and #2. I did. Do you?

When you mentioned this in Church I thought this was so sad. But I think we have a tendency not to see the obvious when we're so close to it. That happens in relationship, work, etc. Someone looking at it from a distance can see something that is so obvious but we're too close to it to see it ourselves.
Another reason we need people, to help us see what we can't.
Thanks Mary that's a great insight. This is an example of how we need someone outside of ourselves to bring us perspective on ourselves.
