I actually had a loaded and cocked gun in my mouth....but then I remembered "Suicide is a permanent solution to a fixable problem". I think that is one of the greatest problems facing so many people....when we look within, we see the stains and tribulations put there by ourselves and the world. When we look at the world and declare "I must follow your rules, but I do not have to BE you", we take the first real steps towards freedom.
Always remember that the mind CALCULATES...that is all it is able to do...whereas the heart experiences only those things that reflect the innocence of childhood. Use each for it's purpose, and banish what only serves to corrupt. We instinctively protect a baby.....why must we stop placing the same amount of effort protecting the child within ourselves?

Sorry's are not accepted here unless you are locked in douche mode. This is the land of misfit toys...you will find that we are a family that cares for one another...sometimes in a snarky way...but that is love nonetheless.

Here is a thought Mad.....we often find ourselves in a cage...or prison cell of the soul. St John of the Cross called this "The Long Dark Night of the Soul". There seems to be no way out....when in fact, even though we built this cell...or perhaps others.....there seems to never be a door! As overly simplistic as this sounds....the key to our escape, is to merely turn around and walk out. There are no jailers...and we were never under any sentence imposed by a jury. We simply allowed ourselves to be found guilty by those who are no lesser or greater than ourselves.

This is so true. Self created prisions, torture, and punishments. This i know well. Very good post.

If nothing else, you have clearly been overcome with Grace...which is Divine currency!

Do you ever feel like you fought so hard to keep something you never should have kept to begin with??

I am one of those simple people, don't need a big house fancy car lots of money, I stop and smell the roses watch the sunset hear the music in the winds. Is it really that bad to be happy and content with who and where I am?? Do I really need to reach for more ??? I am more about family, helping where I can if I can't offer money I can offer time. I go to work every day am thankful to have a job let alone a job I love so what I dont make 6 figures, why does it always come down to money with people??

Ok sorry just ranting told you I was in a mood,

What you value the most, are the things that can not be taken away from you. I look at the homeless and pity them and offer what I can, even if it is a prayer or sermonette. Then I watch them leave and think to myself.....You have nothing, subsequently, nothing to lose that is of value. Your wealth is not in any material thing...lucky you! A rich man has much to lose...those things which he has come to look upon as his identity. When it all crashes down, and things are taken away (as can happen in an uncertain world economy)....what has he then? In his new poverty will come angst and fear..loneliness and vulnerability. A tragedy that is feared by all I should imagine......however, would that homeless man who was shunned and written off as a wretch...have the Grace and pity to share his blanket and mat? It would be no stretch of the imagination to ponder who, under the most extreme of circumstances, who is TRULY wealthy in this world.

As for the world......"Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." (Taken from Mark 12:17)

You only need to go as far as makes you happy and content... To push farther only serves to invite disaster and burn the bridge behind, making sure you can never go back.

I'm disabled, on VA disability, and am perfectly happy where I am at. I am just needing my other to stay here with me..

I am happy as well....not wealthy, but not uncomfortable. There is something missing, but God will provide in His time.

Well, in light of the recent posts this might seem shallow but I've finally decided today that I would stop denying myself. I never splurge on me. I see that other people don't even blink when they drop money on themselves. I've secretly wished I could just let go and give to myself in every way possible without blinking an eye....like I deserve it. Well, I did blink an eye but here's what I gave to myself today: Not all three, of course! Now, I need to go to bed because I promised I'd take better care of myself.

My laptop finally died and so I am using my bro's comp for now, so communication will be here and there until March when I get my parts for my gaming rig.

That is what my laptop will look like soon!
