There are myriad questions buried in that statement. I mean questions your son has. Ask him to write out all the questions he has on a piece of paper. Then the two of you should get together over coffee or a beer and discuss them one by one. Both you and he should offer possibilities for finding answers to the questions, and write them down. Then your son should do each possibility.
They are tremendously important questions. It is better to honestly and fearlessly face the real questions than to go looking for someone or something that promises a fix.
We all have the same questions. Help your son find his own answers by guiding him. Maybe he needs to read philosophy, maybe he needs to look at what the world’s religions have to say, and maybe he needs to Google his questions and see what develops.
But EST? He’ll get more enlightenment taking out the garbage.
Very good! LOL! I'm inclined to agree.
He has good work experience, and has been asked to return to every job he's had as a teenager. Got a good raise when he came back to his job last summer, so I'm confident he's developing well in that department, which is a huge blessing.
Your strategy is a good one. Thanks for taking the time to articulate it.
