Ping.
Summed up: Life is a bitch, then you die.
“Summed up: Life is a bitch, then you die.”
Or, if you’re my brother, you marry three, and then you die (although he hasn’t gotten to that ultimate step just yet).
There are great forces in motion that can only be swayed or altered by being met with another great force.
We must be united and have a clear direction.
We tend to bicker among ourselves. That is the edge the liberals have ... no matter what ... they support everything their side proposes and does, and every candidate for office they put forth.. MO.
Father, help us in our day, in Jesus name, amen.
Free from what?
Number 6 - You have no right to the labors of another. Despite what President Obama and various political leaders tell you, you do not have a right to health care, housing, food, transportation, or anything if another person must provide it.
Number 7 - Money from the government is not “free”. Either the government took the money from someone who worked for it or they borrowed it. In which case, someone who works for a living or their children or grandchildren must pay it back.
Useless anxiety.
C’est la vie de chienne il fait mort.
Life isn't fair.
Free will to act.
Quit whining!
;0)
??? That’s something I’m not familiar with.
If God has a plan for each of us, why are our acts considered faults? Are His? Aren’t we the way He designed us, in order to fulfill His plan?
I’d like to add a couple.
6. You are not as tough as you think you are. There’s always someone tougher, and as you age you’re not tough anymore. You’re old and dependent.
7. Many things will not go your way even when you are in the right.
8. People are not born naturally good; they are born naturally bad. If we wer born naturally good, we’d have to be taught how to be selfish, and greedy, and covetous, and destructive. Being bad comes natural to us; being nice and restrained takes effort.
9. Your own vices and desires will do you in, in one form or another.
10. Spending a lifetime accumulating massive wealth and things you can’t take with you, but being so busy you can’t enjoy family or using what you have, is stupid. You don’t win a prize dying with more stuff than others. And leaving it to people you don’t spend any time with, or worse, don’t like, is stupid.
11. Do not expect extraordinary, biblical miracles. They occur, but rarely. Recognize and be grateful for the many everyday miracles we have, like having another day with family, the car continuing to work and move you around, your pets living another day with you, your electricity service and gas service being there for you, having flushing toilers, refrigerated food storage, your body still working and that you can still eat, pee, poop and do useful things with arms and legs, see, hear, hug people we care about, making it home alive to family after a day of work, etc.
1a) It's harder when you're stupid.
These are good...thanks.
Good ones.
[[Free from what?]]
Self Pity
Life is hard. God is good.
Don’t confuse the two.
