Liberty loss and coffee cups.

My friend Kendal is a musician. He's on iTunes. "Pacific Resonance". Check it.
I'm listening to one of his songs right now, actually, and there's one line that stands out to me.
"Isn't it strange to think everything we do is useless?"
When I first heard it, I thought: "Dude, Kendal. Depressing, much?" But I've realized that he's exactly right. Nothing we do is going to change anything. Really.
I mean, we all want to think that it will, but really. Really. Nothing we do can change the weather, or the fact that polar bears will someday be extinct. (I know, I know, it's sad). Nothing we do is going to explain, truly explain, why Mona Lisa smiles. Isn't it strange to think everything we do is useless? It is. But I feel it's also a relief. It's not up to us. Nothing's up to us. If you know me at all, you know I know that it's up to God. Nothing He does is useless. Everything he does is everything. And we aren't Him.
It's like when someone you know has a test that they didn't study for. Dude, that sucks but it's not my test and I'm not you, so I'm not going to worry about it. Or even care. It's in God's hands. Everything is taken care of. The song's titled "Never Ending Search" Never ending search for the truth. The truth is, everything we do is useless.
But that's alright. :)
