Do We Know Our Destination?

We cannot know where we are unless we know where we should be. God asked man, "Where are you?" -- Genesis 3:9. The question has meaning only if we have a goal in life. Then it means "Are you a bit closer to the goal than yesterday, or farther away?" Or "Are you on the path altogether?" The problem is not that we may have chosen the wrong goal, but that too often we have given no thought to any goal. We only consider the how of life, and not the why. In addiction we had the wrong answer to How? In all likelihood, the question Why? had never even arisen.
