"May you live in interesting times", often referred to as the Chinese curse, is the purported translation of an ancient Chinese proverb and curse. However, no Chinese source has ever been found. [1]
I think that Chinese Christians would agree with me, however, that we don’t need to go looking for curses. They come looking for us. Will we be soldiers of the light and fight them (ministering blessings to counter the curses) or will we just curse curses, which is like trying to drown water.
Dissect it however you wish, Ibryce.
The fact remains that we live in interesting times and times will get a whole bunch more interesting.
Semper fi, buddy.
