Interview with Morgan

We are one human family. Sometimes in a family, there are some that lose their voice. Some that don't know they have a voice. Some who have never been asked their ideas or opinions. I believe everyone has a voice and a story. I ask random people that I meet and know 8 simple questions. Questions that plague us all, and the connective tissue that binds us as One Human Family.

Name or pseudonym: Morgan Scott

Age or birth date: October 12th, 1988

What do you look like? Some say I look like I'm 16 years old others say 25. I think I look like a mom... a 22 year old, dark brown curly haired, blue eyed mommy.

Where do you live? Fort Smith, Ar

What's the meaning of life? I'm still trying to figure that out. I think we all are. I'm not sure that there is one single meaning to life, but more like a constant evolution of the meaning of life depending on where you are in your life. As of late, my mind has been focused on balance. I always think to myself.. it is all about balance. If we can learn to love and play hard while maintaining stability we have it all. Maybe the meaning of life is to take in as much of it as you can. Being present in the moment is much more difficult than one might anticipate. The mastery of this might lead to pure absorption of life in the present moment. All in all I think we should love more, talk less, and try to eliminate our egos.

Are you afraid to die and why? Yes. Nothing frightens me more than the thought of dying. I try not to think about it much because my mind gets wrapped around the thought of being nothing. What makes me most afraid of dying is the thought of never seeing and talking to my son again. Of course I like all of us have no way of knowing for sure what it will be like after we die. No matter how difficult life may be at times, it is what I know. My fear of death pretty much boils down to my fear of the unknown.

Why are you happy? If you're not, why not? Most of my happiness comes from doing my best and being my best. When I put forth effort into something and give it my all I feel endless happiness. I also find that gratitude leads me to great happiness. Loving what I have and all that is around me brings me to a place where I feel like no one can touch me. Much of my happiness is connected to the purpose I feel I serve as a mother. Although it is not an easy job it is rewarding beyond description. When I look at my son my heart over flows with joy.. (except for the times he throws fits, lol!)
Why am I not happy? I wrote before about balance. I have a tough time maintaining balance in my life. I feel there are so many things I want to do and want to be but I have so many things pulling me in other directions.

Anything you'd like to say to the world? Yes, just be kind. Always try to choose kindness. All we really have is ourselves. If we love ourselves it is much easier to love others. This quote says it all:
"Just like it requires billions of pebbles for a mountain to be constructed with ease, so is world peace constructed by billions of souls with inner peace." -Kirk Nugent
