a professor takes a 10 gallon container, and asks the class if it's full:
most answer no,
a couple argue that it's full of air,
and one answers that it's full of air, and full of gods spirit...
then the professor dumps in a bunch of marbles in, until there can be no more added to the container...he then asks the class again:
Most answer yes,
some answer no,
and that same kid answers it's full of marbles, and gods spirit
the professor now dumps sand into the container, filing all the cracks in between the marbles, and asks the class a third time
almost all answer "yes"
2 answer "no"
and that same kid answers now it's full of marbles, sand, and god's spirit...
Finally the professor opens a few beers, and purs them into the container filling in all the space between the sand...
He told the students that the container represented their lives...
what was the professor's point?

too many "in's" with the marbles, but you get the point...

No matter how full your life gets, there's always room for a couple beers......

When you lose your marbles, drink some beer.
OR
There can be no room for God's spirit if you fill your life with relaxation (sand,) play (marbles,) and addiction (beer.)
If I think of something else, I'll let you know.

College kids swallow marbles when they drink beer and pray?

that would look to me to be an proper reaction - yet i'm no longer particular even if that is *the* perfect reaction - i'm particular there are different good thoughts to reply. options-blowing question.

His point is that the other stuff wouldn't have fit if he had filled the container in a different order.

his point is, no matter how busy your life may be, you should always make time for the things that are important to you (family, friends, etc.)

His point is that beer fills you up completely, "heals the soul", so to speak. So everyone should kick back and enjoy one every so often.
Honestly, I have no frakin' clue.

Fill your life with ideals and concepts that matters. The rest is irrelevant, only deal with what you can see and what you can change...the physical world is what matters, not the supernatural.

Maybe that you can always add more to your life to make it more rich and full?

It takes something tangible v. something intangible to fill you up, make you whole, etc. ?
