In less then 100 years they will be dead, then they will pay for what they have done. Life on Planet earth is simply a vacation. In the end we are only tenants, when our lease expires, we move on. Where we reside for eternity depends on what we do now. As far as I'm concerned, the only punishment that fits the crime, is that once dead, they cease to exist. No afterlife, no second chance, no chance for redemption. Just an end. For the Child...I just can't fathom how anyone could do this. A few blocks away from where I live, there was a house that was having a party. I guess somewhere around 3 A:M the baby was crying, it was 2 months old. One of the drunken party goers got up, yelled shut up, and threw the baby across the room. Then went back to bed, leaving the baby to die. I have seen horrible things on this planet. That is why I try to joke around so much. Keeps me from screaming at night. I could tell you a hundred stories like this. All true. But it would serve no purpose. I prefer to post inspirational stories. THey serve as reminders of what is really important. In 100 years, we'll all be dead, and it won't matter what the price of PRWT is, or who said what, or who pumped and dumped. It won't matter what the price of tea in China is, or the income tax rate. All that will remain is the memory of your life. I have never sat at the end of a death bed listening to the terminal tell me how they were not finished their tax return, or how they didn't pay off a credit card, or how so and so owes them money. All they talk about is their family, their friends, that which is important to them. They no longer are concerned for themselves, but their family. They worry that the family will be sad. In the end, they jab a pipe in your neck and replace your blood with formaldihyde, put you in a box naked, and bury you. Or burn you. You leave this planet with what you came with. With such a brief time, does it not make more sense to have as much fun, as much experience as possible. Sounds reasonable, but the sad truth is that most men and women live lives of quiet desperation. Barely making the rent, spending their days thinking about the house of cards that they built up around them. Someone on the thread once said money is the root of all evil. That is not entirely true. The quote is "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil." Money in itself is not evil. Money can build churchs and hospitals, it can buy medicine, it can cure disease and hunger, or it can buy bombs and and weapons. MOney is a tool, what you do with it makes it good or bad. Often I say this to people and they tell me that they don't love money, they hate it. Well we know that the opposite of love is not hate. We have all had the teenage romance that is True love, but when it is over, then it turns to hate. If one hates, then they are not over their feelings are they. No, I say the opposite to love is indifference. To not even give something a second thought is to be indifferent. I know a lot of rich people and I know a lot of modest income people. Most of them spend a great deal of time thinking about money. I spend my time thinking about my family. Sure I make money. Why not. Like I said it is a tool. But it isn't an all consuming passtime to me. What I see on the majority of these threads are people who are obsessed. Some are obsessed with acquiring money. Others are obsessed with the money they have lossed. Sad. -------------------------------------------------------- You all need to sit down and write your eulogy. Sit down an write what you think your wife/husband, best friend, family member , and comunity leader will say about you when you die. You will be amazed at what you write. I doubt that you want them to say. Hey, he always paid the mortgage on time. I didn't get to know dad, but man there were always Oreos in the House. Ask yourself , if your life is headed where you want it to. If not.... Maybe you best head on over to the ISOMAN thread and bookmark it. Wealth has a lot more to it than the bank balance. ISOMAN of the pulpit.
