How you doin?

The journey, sometimes it feels good, sometimes it feels awful. How it feels is not the point. The point is to engage in the journey. If you are actively engaged in the journey then it is good. There are aspects of everyone’s journey that are unpleasant but must be experienced. And, there are times in the journey when you will not be happy with your own behavior.

So, if you ask me, “How are you doing?” The best I can say is “I am on the journey” It‘s not going “good” or “bad”. It’s the journey. What I can tell you is how it feels and what I am going through right now. Being honest about what you are experiencing and how it feels is liberating for you and others and it enkindles participation in the journey. “By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.” (Mat 5:16 The Message)

But to judge yourself or others by what it feels like or what you are going through is just religious bull shit.
