Are you direct and to the point or do you ramble on and on and on and tell your life story for paragraphs and paragraphs and para...

Psalm16 .1--9 Galatians6.7--10


Should mystery enshroud His Plan
And our short sight be dim

We will not try the whole to scan
But leave each thread to Him

*** We can endure life's wrongs cause we know that He will make all things right

Lord , teach me how to work each day
That every deed I do

May not be driven by false pride
But render service true

*** What positive God- honoring actions can I concentrate on doing this morning
or afternoon
or on my trip to the Safeway etc?

Ex: You want to become a comic artist, but nobody thinks you're good enough. Not a good idea to continue!

I can see both as noble:

The first person makes the best of his/her situation and comes to realize that "it's not so bad", and grows as a result of it.

The second person refuses to accept a life that is less than what they had envisioned. This person would never settle into a mundane job, for instance, but is always pursuing his/her passions.

So I need to know: Which is the MOST noble?

Serious answers only. Do you feel that having money really makes you happy? Why or why not?

HI folks,
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar.He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full? They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions--and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else--the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, here's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
Please share this with someone you care about.

Is happiness the ultimate goal of humans?

2007-06-07 00:29:05 · 18 answers · asked by Lucifer Lothario 1

Take out a species of any other animal, and the food web would crash and many other animals will ultimately die. But isn't it kinda depressing that if somehow humans were wiped out, the world would carry on and perhaps be a better place. Why do we believe that humans are the most important species? (please don't use the excuse that we were born in gods image)

Such a memory would act as a conduit for connection, as long as our attention was focused upon it. Without such attention, the memory would generally remain inert, inactive. We are also physically connected to far away stars via memory, due to the intial connection in the big bang singularity. This is another memory that can remain inactive or can function, according to whether or not we decide to stimulate the memory and thus experience further interconnection...Once the connection is established and flowing, further connection can be felt.
