In our greenhouse this year a wasp colony formed without anyone noticing.

But luckily the particular species in there is very peaceful and has a comparatively small colony. What is very interesting is that this species does not enclose their nest but build it in a completely exposed way. Very cool as you can always see whats going on in the nest.

In the christian view earthly things will never statisfy us, as what we are seeking is the infinite. So only what is infinite can statisfy us, however there is only one such thing in existence: God.

People who have not realized this or do not want to realize this will be stuck restless going from one thing to another. As St. Augustine famously put it: "You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our heart is restless until it rests in you."

As for practical advice I cant offer much exept that you should build an awarness of how much is given in your life. Your job, your wealth, your wife, your kids are all given to you and can be taken from you again at any moment. Especially your life is something you did not merit by your own actions at all, life was given to you and it will be taken from you without you having much of a choice in it.

Obviously I recommend finding God, but there is no set "algorithm" for finding him. For some people its enough to be convinced intellectually, for some its not. I dont know you so I dont know what you would respond to. The only general thing I could say is that you should try to keep yourself open to God.
