I read this question not long ago online. I have been thinking about it so much since then.
I have heard that SO many times in my life as, I am sure, you have too. But, is it true? If you really think about it does everything happens for a reason? |

Well, my life is going pretty terribly, and, well, I've been a pretty nice guy, trying really hard in school, and helping people out. My life is inversely proportional to how good I have been. I have dying relatives, and tons of financial problems. I really see myself as being nothing more than a dysfunctional member of society at best. Dead or homeless at worst. If a God wants to teach me a lesson, he could have DEFINITELY done it with more subtle methods. Seeing as how I'm in school, I think I would be smart enough to pick up on it. I REALLY don't see how you see that as adding up at all. You need to go back to 1st grade math. |

If you want something, work for it. dont just work to work. work for the sole purpose of acheivement, not just to work. sheesh. when there's a will, there's a way. that could means sacrifices might be needed to get through a block in your path.No one is perfect. i understand that. but, it doesnt mean you can just let things slide away easily. |
