I would like to be able to have a role in bringing the world's attention back to itself. In a sense, I want to strive, at any level, to reveal the inherent problem within us all. However, my intention is not to accuse or judge the world, but rather, to divert the course of a selfish universe. This is a very simple course of action. The universe is not governed by simple rules and regulations. Instead, it is governed by faith. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are able to do great things.
In this way, if I am fulfilling the will of God, then I am already changing the course of the universe because God's will is that this dying world and its fading people will be saved. As a writer, I want to demonstrate how this problem, the dying of the world, begins within each single person. So many people are focused on what is going wrong everywhere else, and they fail to see the wrong they themselves are committing.
My strivings are not of my own; this is Biblical. Jesus said one must remove the plank from his own eye before helping his brother with his spec. My intentions are likewise. I am not trying to help others remove their specs, that is a task for those wiser and spiritually stronger than I, rather, I am trying to help others realize they have planks.
This goal is lofty, this problem is impregnable, and this world is far from salvageable. We know that, despite all our blood, sweat, and tears, the earth we know today will pass away, but hope remains yet for its citizens. That is why I have set my sights on Everest's peak. Life is not short at all, like so many are prone to say life is eternal. Our purpose, as followers of the One True God, is to draw as many as possible into an eternity well worth living for.
