Unforgettable Cries

What do you and I think about? What is it that we meditate on most? It is "desire" that determines most of our thought patterns. It should be that the human predicament narrows down what we think about. Imagine a Titanic survivor. He is sitting with a few other survivors in a large, mostly empty lifeboat as the great ocean liner heaves and sinks silently beneath the freezing waters of the ocean. The only sounds that break that eerie silence are the unforgettable cries of perishing human beings pleading to be saved from an icy grave. There's plenty of room in the lifeboat. What is it then that should consume the survivor's thoughts? He should be utterly focused on saving those that are around him. Nothing else should matter, compared to the task that is before him. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
