Freedom From Helplessness

"With all the hidden variables,no human being can have every thing he or she would like.One is bound to have deeply felt wishes in differernt spheres of a life that is subject to influences from forces known and unknown,Helplessness,if not despair,is unavoidable.Nothing is more painful to live with than this exasperating helplessness.Intelligent living is to seek help from a real source of help before letting helplessness overhelm one.Prayer is seeking help and it is as real as one's level of understanding of the altar from which one seeks help."
