Do you ever fell that for some reason your life is constantly being spared? Seriously, I should be dead or in jail. No question about it. Yet time after time, I make it home. Sometimes I think God's got something special planned for me. Other times I feel it's leading to the biggest problem imaginable. Like maybe the reason I'm pulling through is so I can meet the ultimate demise. As it is, I'll continue to walk around with an "S" on my chest until I meet one destiny or the other.
After all I have been saved from, I know he does God has something planned for everyone's life, but most people will never fulfill their calling.
"but most people will never fulfill their calling." Something tells me I'm supposed to. Or that I deserve a horrible, horrible fate
i could care less i just wonder whats in store for me thats so important or horrible that ive been allowed to continue on this long theres no rational explanation for why i make it through each day god doesnt smile on people of my kind yet time after time hes allowed me safe passage while i watch people who appear to be far more deserving than i of a second chance lose their life, their livelyhood, or their freedom makes no sense
There is no explanation, nor purpose... It's nature. You just happened to survive... (Though all fo yourself did, but that's complicated.. )
Well, did you ever think that if you stopped once in a while, reconsidered your actions, and used a little better judgment, it wouldn't be such a surprise that you come through alright despite the shit you apparently get yourself into? -Jeffrey
They never will learn; no, you can't teach a Sneetch. By the way... One day, making tracks in the Prairie of Prax, came a North-going Zax and a South-going Zax... -Jeffrey
perhaps i made too many wrong choices already when your in a hole and all you have is a shovel sometimes its impossible to stop digging i just hope i make it out the other side
Um, excuse me, but doesn't that mean God fucked up? What good is God's plan if the people he picks to carry it out screw up and "never fulfill" it? I love how God is made out to be a bunch of impossible things: - He's all merciful and loving, but he kills tens of thousands of children with a single earthquake and the ensuing waves. - He visits on all humankind the plague of sickness and death because he himself set up Adam and Eve to transgress against him. Ever think about why HUMANITY fell from grace just because of two people? Would it be fair, for example, if we sent YOU to prison for stuff your GRANDMOTHER did? Shit, it seems that MANKIND knows more about being fair than GOD does. You really need to read "Letters from the Earth" by Mark Twain, if you believe for one second in GOD. He will set you straight. The late comedian Bill Hicks, quite the iconoclast, said something to the effect of, Let me get this straight, I'll burn in hell for all eternity if I don't correctly worship your all forgiving, infinitely loving god?! -Jeffrey
Okay... since this is one of the ones I've memorized. ... And it happened that both of them came to a place where they bumped: there they stood, foot-to-foot, face-to-face. "Look here now," the North-going Zax said, "I say! You are blocking my path, you are right in my way! I'm a North-going Zax and I always go north. Get out of my way now, and let me go forth!" "Who's in whose way?!" snapped the South-going Zax. "I always go south, making south-going tracks. So you're in my way, and I ask you to move and let me go south in my south-going groove." Then the North-going Zax puffed his chest up with pride: "I never," he said, "take a step to one side. And I'll prove to you that I won't change my ways if I have to keep standing here fifty-nine days!" "And I'll prove to you!" yelled the South-going Zax that I can stand here in the Prairie of Prax for fifty-nine years, for I live by a rule that I learned as a boy back in South-going school "Never budge, that's my rule, never budge in the least! Not an inch to the west; not an inch to the east. I'll stay here not budging, I can and I will, if it makes you and me, and the whole world stand still!" Well, of course the world didn't stand still -- the world grew. In a couple of years, the new highway came through. And they built it right over those two stubborn Zax, and left them there standing unbudged in their tracks. My thanks to Dr. Seuss. -Jeffrey
