In today’s world that is in today’s environment everyone is trying to lead a “name brand” life. We want to be seen as Pravda and Polo. If need to be in. If we aren’t at that level yet we yearn to be there. Woe be us if our shirts are bear with no identity on them for us to assume.
I have discovered that it is OK to lead a “Generic Life”. It is in freeing ourselves from the name brands that we can begin to be ourselves. If we are too busy assuming “popular” lives, we will never develop our own.
It is not in assuming preconceived personalities that we develop our own. If we live with proper humility we can have that generic life. We will than have more interest in our efforts at life than our egos
A life of Christianity is not a life of one up manship; it is a life of quiet community service and prayer, therefore quite generic. But by being generic in this we can truly be part of community.
A Generic way of life presents you as just like the other guy on the outside. You can then concentrating on developing your sense of the “inside”.
