The Common Thread©
Many
times
in
our
lives
we
come
upon
a
question
or a
problem
that
we
just
can’t
seem
to
solve.
We
find
ourselves
confused, and
desperate
to
find
the
answer
that
overwhelms
us.
It
consumes
our
very
being
to
the
point
that
nothing
else
matters. This
is a
common
flaw
or
perhaps
perfection
of
the
human
psyche.
Our
inner
workings
dictate
that
we
must
find
answers
to
questions
and
will
go
to
great
lengths
to
get
them.
Thus, makes
up
the common thread that
all
humans
have
in
common:
The
drive
to
succeed,
and
not
fail,
or
if
we
do
fail,
we
will
keep
trying
until
we
find
the
solution
or
the
answer
to
the
mystery
before
us.
Think
of
it.
Millions
on
Millions
of
people
all
over
the
earth
each
with
the
ability
to
think,
solve,
ask
questions
and
eventually
get
to
the
answer
they
seek.
Unfortunately,
sometimes,
its
not
the
answer
they
want
to
hear.
Sometimes
the
cure
is
worse
than
the
disease,
but
none
the
less
you
need
the
cure
or
the
what
if
becomes
a
big
question
mark
in
your
mind. Where
would
we
be is (if)
Isaac
Newton
gave
up,
or
if
Einstein
threw
his
hands
up
in
the
air,
and
all
his
great
work
did
not
have
come
to
fruition?
There
are
many
“what
if’s”
in
this
world,
but
there
is
always
someone
that
will
take
up
the
challenge
to
find
what’s
on
the
other
side
of
the
“if.”
We
need
a
whole
range
of
people
seeking
answers
in
order
for
the
human
race
to
progress thru (through)
life
into
the
future
and
beyond.
Most
of
the
“what
if
people”
are
ones
you
see
every
day.
They
are
scientists,
teachers,
doctors, Engineers,
and
yes
we
better
not
leave
out
the
lawyers
(their
“what
if”
is
“can
I
win
the
case?”),
and
finally
let’s
not
forget
those
that
soar
into
outer
space.
They
take
the
thread
of
our
existence
with
them.
Let’s
be
even
more
basic
than
that.
What
about
the
car
we
all
prize.
If
Henry
Ford
had
just
stuck
with
one
idea,
the
assembly
line
would
not
have
come
about,
and
we
would
still
be
waiting
on a
carriage
instead
of a
taxi.
Man
has
always
tried
to
push
the
envelope,
to
reach
out
and
let
his
mind
do
what
it’s
supposed
to
do.
They
say
that
the
fastest
computer
cannot
equal
the
human
brain.
Remember
when
computers
took
up
whole
rooms
and
now
they
fit
in
your
pocket?
Don’t
you
think
that
this
came
about
by
the
common
thread
and
the
desire
to
improve
on
what
is?
It
happens
every
day
around
us.
Someone
invents
a
better
mouse
trap,
and
later
someone
else
invents
an
even
better
one.
God
is a
“what
if
person
also”.
He
is a
thinker
and
is
thinking
everyday
how
to
get
you
to
find
him.
He
is
very
imaginative
and
leaves
all
sorts
of
clues
to
help
you
out.
You
might
say
he
is
the
master
thread
that
binds
us
together.
He
will
not
improve
on
his
creation;
however,
he
will
improve
on
ways
to
get
his
creation
to
improve
themselves
(with
a
little
guidance).
Life
is
ever-changing,
and
it
seems
we
must
change
with
the
times.
If
there
is
one
thing
I
want
you
to
come
away
with
from
reading
this
is
that
you
are
intertwined
with
everyone
else.
So
don’t
break
the
delicate
thread
that
binds
us;
in
fact,
you
may
need
to
double
up
the
thread
so
it
won’t
break.
For,
once
you
‘are
separated
from
everyone
else,
it
is
very
hard
to
get
back
in
line,
your
rightful
place,
the
place
the
creator
assigned
to
you
on
this
earth.
As
Spock
would
say,
“Live
long
and
prosper,
and
the
mission
of
Star
Trek
to”
go
where
no
man
has
gone
before”.
It
may
take
some
time,
but
you
will
eventually
find
out
the
“why”
of
our
existence,
and
the
“what”
is
the
reason.
Just
hold
on
to
the
Common
Thread.
