Life a milk carton, would you like to know your exact expiration date if it was possible?

Answer 1

Well when it's festering and smelly I think it's had it. Somewhat alike to death in human life.

Answer 2

Who cares, just so I get out of here when my job is done.

I am here to get this right, then I get to go home.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.

After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.

Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.

I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.

I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.

If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.

I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.

Love and blessings

Answer 3

If you think about it, if you KNEW you had some cancer and had only months to live, I'd live differently, yes! I'd have no money worries then! I'd probably rack up a huge credit card debt, *smile* taking a trip somewhere I always wanted to go. Can't come after me when I'm dead to collect. hahahaa

Otherwise, it's probably good to NOT know.

We are to "plan as if we were going to live to be 100, while loving our family/friends as if we were going to die tomorrow"

Answer 4

I plan to set the date myself anyway, when I get so old and decrepit that life is no longer worth the struggle, so sure. It'd be cool to find out if I'm going to make it that far.

Answer 5

No; besides, sometimes the milk stays good longer than the date suggests.

Answer 6

No, first off, that would be so stupid because if you knew when you died then theres no point in technology of medicine today. If we knew our day would be over, there would be chaos in the world. What if someone evil knew that their days were going to be over, before he dies, he would blow up the world with him. lol. so i guess i would not want to know my expiration date. =3

Answer 7

No, if God gives us time to repent and to become a blessing to our loved ones and others then that is enough.

Answer 8

Your Answer......!

(Heb 9:27) And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment,
