To pay bills and eat food. Fuck man . I personally dedicated my life to being a servant of Jesus and it completely changed my life. Everyday i wake up full of meaning, as I could save somebody any day and anytime, and its the greatest thing in my life. Money cant compare with the joy of saving someone. This life is but a test, will you fall to the pressures and conform to the satanic media, or will you be strong and persevere for what is right and commanded by God, and go on to live in a better place on judgement day? Do i still work a job making those that hate me rich.......yes, but I make sure to read the bible on the clock :) Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15528057 Yin and yang is never ending because if it did so would everything..... |

Don’t start off too big if the list is daunting, start by improving on the little things & work your way up, and progressively, you’ll transform.

When you find it, it makes everything else fall in line, and the necessities of existence become much less about yourself and more about others. The secret is this..... family. Lifes purpose is to multiply. To create and care for more life. All other things are ultimately meaningless and trivial. You feel this truth now, because you are missing this part of the equation. Find a woman, start a family, you will quickly realize what it is you go to work everyday for... and will find purpose in guiding and supporting your children. |

I bet everybody here at some point in their life has experienced poverty. We all know what it's like to be skint, and i'm sure most of us here know what it's like to be comfortable with no debts and lots of savings. You can hide yourself away in a cave as a recluse or manage several 100 people within a busy company or exist somewhere in the middle. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't, so one may as well just get on with it as best as you are able to with the tools you have available. Avoid regrets, AVOID REGRETS. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62939630 I'd love to give the Commencement speech at University or College or even High School and lay out their lives in a realistic way. The world is NOT your oyster, you CAN'T do whatever you want. You will spend the next 50 years toiling for the government who takes the cream off the top of your efforts. But as for a purpose in life, that's different and others have tried to tell you but you don't want to listen. We were Created for a purpose - to worship GOD and walk humbly before Him. The toilsome work becomes bearable when you know that your life has meaning and purpose. Silly... Why does God demand worship? Do you have Stalk Holms Syndrome? Only a narcissist would think that highly of themselves. "Worship me, follow me on Instagram.. my Bible was written by men for that purpose. I didn't need to put forth the effort myself. Even though I as a perfect God can do everything better than humans. I'm perfect.. and you are fallen POS. That is why you should trust my book... the Bible. I don't know why I even put up with you... I guess I must love you. But don't push it. I can only forgive for so long. And you know you have it coming to you. It is your fault for your fallen state. All I ever asked you to do was love me? God is the ultimate, gaslighting, abusive spouse. "I will destroy your livelihood if you don't follow my commands." Really? I don't think so. But, feel free to keep your god. Spot on. |
