Lifting the Veil

Have any of you wondered why things play out the way they do? We have a million of possible outcomes that our choices give us. Sometimes we don't even know where we are going. I am 38 years old and in my life there have been so many experiences that I would consider up and down. To some, I might be very lucky to even have the life I live. It's not easy to compare yourself to others when you only see only a small glimpse of what is going on. We are based in our own lifestyles and beliefs. It takes so little yet seems like so much to really get a grip on our reality.
Are we in control or are we just lost in a sea of never ending turmoil. What is it to be a human? What is it to have the capacity to change everything? What are you doing to change how you perceive things? Changing the world is as easy as accepting who you truly are inside.
The Only thing is the condition of our physical existence keeps us in a state where we lock ourselves away and hold pain in that no longer has roots in our present.
Why do we keep playing the same old game when the game just doesn't work anymore. All the pieces are missing and the instructions are outdated.
The only way the world can change is be the change you wish to see. Is it easy? If it was easy, would you gain the passion to want it better? Would you really push yourself if things came easy?
I know it's not easy, but that's my own perspective. What's yours?
