"How Are You Living Your Life?" #512-513

Isn't it a bit strange that we go through some twelve or more years of schooling, going through math, science, social studies, history, english, etc. but seem to have missed the class on how to live (life)?  At least when I was in elementary school and Jr. High School, we received bits and pieces of such, but nothing directly which would help us understand the world in which we live or how to live successfully in it. 

The choices we have as to how we will live our lives are many and varied, filled with individuals and philosophies to guide you aong their particular path, always with a price to pay ... usually paid by you and me.  Each philosophy has an end point that is laid out and moved toward with each step we take in that particular school or philosophy of living.  All is designed to eliminate the ignorance, striving and frustration while promising direction toward success, integrity, confidence and a host of other things we all want.  Each philosophy requires a faith and confidence in their precepts as evidenced by confessions of such and changed behaviors to help attract the desired results. 

Most of us have been there but seem to have missed what life is truly about.  Let's look at "How Are You Living Your Life?" and see if we can make sense out of all of this.
