Survival can be an ironic thing in life. "Hey do you think you are gonna make it?", is a common question that is darted at you when you are sick. After being asked that 36 times last weekend as I was powered juggernaut mode through wedding activities I have decided that moving forward that I will begin to answer that question sarcastically as possible. Example, "Ya I am gonna make it but I don't know if i can say the same sentiment about you if you ask me again.."
In all actuality it always feels good that people care about your well-being and I really never mind when someone asks how I am feeling.. What if everyone had the same knee jerk reaction and asked people how they were doing spiritually though? "Hey I heard your spirit is feeling like dung... Think you're gonna make it???" "Have you taken a dose of solitude and reflection to fight off those pesky demons that are running a muck?" That would be a wild turn of events in everyday social interaction.
