Life, Religion and Reality....

Most of you that will read this will get it from my Facebook link.... So, with that most of you will understand the following...

How many times do you log into facebook to have your page full of miscellaneous daily affirmations and scripture telling you to have a bless day??

Now before I get a TON of hate mail, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with that.. If that is your thing, more power to you. I applaud you. So long as you are consistent and true I have no problem with it.. What I do have a problem with are the people that talk shit, treat their other halves like they are garbage, constantly degrading them to make themselves feel better about life, trying to keep up with the Jones' as you slowly dwindle into debt to the point that you aren't providing for your family.. to go out and spend $90 on a shirt because you think it "makes you look cool" while your house payments go by the wayside.. Then all of a sudden when shit goes bad my page is babbling bible quotes and scripture!!


I look at it this way.......

         A man goes to work all day, day in day out at a job that he hates... The pay sucks, his boss is a dick, the stress is overwhelming..  But, everyday he goes in.. Day after day... His attitude gets worse, he starts to carry it home with him emotionally.. "if only I could find another job" he tells himself.. Every Sunday this man looks in the paper... He sees numerous jobs in the paper.  Some require certifications and degrees he doesn't have, some in the field he's already in but pay a little less, others not in his field but have on the job training... Everyday this man stammers and bitches about his job, and everyday he continues to go in and look at the paper for another job.
     He tells his wife he wants another job, but doesn't want to take a pay cut... Would love to take an on the job training position but he's probably not qualified for the job.. Everyday his wife tries her best to make it better and let him vent but as weeks goes on it's more than she can handle..
The stress slowly takes its toll on the man as his poor attitude carries over to his work.. "if only I could find another job" he keeps telling himself... 
His poor attitude gets his hours cut at work... Now he's making less money and doesn't know what to do... "shoulda taken that job that was in the paper.." he complains.. Sure it was less money than he was making but it's more than he's making now... 
Soon the wife leaves, can't handle it anymore as he is constantly screaming and hates his job and now complains about life too... "If only I could find a job" he stammers.... "same damn jobs in the paper except the one I want.. Shoulda took it weeks ago! Why can't I get a break" he complains... 
Soon the power and the water gets cut off, the man loses his job, and is bitter to all around him.... 
"damn you all! i don't need anything from anyone... i can cook over a fire, hunt for food, and dig a well for water.. I don't need anybody!" he screams loudly at the top of his lungs in his empty house...
 The man grabs a shovel and stomps outside bound and determined that he can dig a well all by himself for water.... And so he begins to dig..  
The man digs all day and half the night.... Finally striking water the man is ecstatic that he did this without anyone's help! He throws the shovel high up out of the hole and begins to climb up the well; proud of his achievement... As he gets close to the top the man slips, loses his footing and falls down the well.. He cannot climb up, the walls are too slick and he cannot keep his footing... "Help!" the man screams loudly...
A neighbor, outside enjoying the cool night air and clear starry sky, hears the cry for help and call the fire department who arrives finding the man in the hole he dug and promptly gets the man from the hole.. When asked what happened, the man talks about how he dug the hole all by  himself without any help and although he thanks them for their help, he'll be just fine...
Later that night while walking outside in the night to get some water to heat for a bath, the man slips and falls into the well, breaking his neck...Unable to move, the man begins to pray.. "dear God, Help me out of this hole and I will be a better man...." But, the water rises and unable to move the man drowns and dies..
As he walks toward the pearly gates the man is pissed!  
He storms up to St. Peter and starts screaming "what the hell?! How are you going to take everything away from me and not help me get out of the hole!  I worked all day and night to dig that hole and you did nothing to help me! You took my job, my wife, now my life and not once helped me!! Why?!"
Just then a booming voice began to speak.. God himself has had enough....
"Not help you?" He exclaims.. "when you were not happy at work, did I not show you jobs that you could take? Could you not have sacrificed a few dollars or luxuries to change jobs for the ones I showed you in the paper?? When you said no, did I not give you the opportunity to change careers entirely and learn something new?  When you said you weren't qualified, did I not offer you the training you needed? Did I not make your wife strong until you forced her away?"
"But you took my job, leaving me with nothing?! then let me die in the well"
"No... I took what made you unhappy and gave the opportunity to make you happy. You denied it. rather than take that which was offered, you fought and chose to dig a whole against the better judgment. You defiantly dug rather than accept the jobs that were in front of you.. When you fell into the hole, I made the night air cool and stars shine brightly so that your neighbor would be outside to hear your cry for help. I got you out of the hole you defiantly dug only to watch as you fell back into it. I offered assistance, I helped you, and chose to ignore me. Why should I have helped you back out of the hole the second time?"

So,,, if you are one of those people that day in, day out feel the need to baptize my page with daily affirmations I'm fine with that... Me, I have my beliefs and tend to keep them closer to me.. Those who are around me know what I believe and me and the Big Man have a good understanding...

But, for those of you who do not do what is in your power to take care of those which you are entrusted to do so... Do not love thy wife as you love yourself, are vain and would rather spend frivolous money on shirts and other items before providing for your family...
