The right to rise.

Our creator provided man with a planet full of FREE and abundant raw materials, yet for 6000 years man struggled just to survive. Every person is born with an abundance of human energy, and when human energy and FREE raw materials collide, survival takes place.

In the most private spaces of each person's inner conscious life, a deep dissatisfaction is lurking, a nagging sense that life is somehow out of kilter, misaligned, not quite as it should be.

Once upon a time, in the vast expanse of the Milky Way Galaxy, on a small blue planet orbiting the third star from the sun, there existed a being named I Am. The circumstances of I Am's existence were shrouded in mystery, as they seemed to have emerged randomly, without purpose or intent.

* You will have to pry my free stuff from my cold dead hands! * Everyone knows we need to cut spending, just not MY SPENDING, and raise taxes, just not MY TAXES!

WWII warriors were the greatest generation, who then spoiled the Baby Boomers, who then gave participation trophies to their kids.

Throughout time, the lives of ordinary people have been controlled by monarchs and rulers, while their own voices remained unheard and their freedoms limited.

As I stood under the shower this morning, appreciating the privileges of being born in a developed nation, I couldn't help but notice the 17 gallons of clean water flowing down the drain.

"The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still."

Best advise for life ever written!

We are given responsibilities and duties which harass us from the very first moment of the day, to distract us from thinking about who we are, where we come from, and where we are going.

The best quote of friendship that I have ever read.

During this era of economic transformation, consumer debt as a percentage of disposable income soared from 66% in 1980 to a staggering 144% by 2007.

Al Akhbar and the 72 virgins! These two ideas puzzle me greatly. I have never heard of a school shooter screaming "God Is Good" as he mows down innocent children, yet that is exactly what every terrorist yells while killing innocent people. Why do jihadists yell "God is good" while performing these killings? And what about the offer to martyrs of 72 virgins? Is this what these men covet here on earth, so much that they would give their life to get at them? I have never read anything like this being offered in Christianity!

WHY, why are we here? Humans desperately need to know that we are not just a mistake! When you got there, how could you know what their intentions were, for THEY were the very entities who sent you to a place that you begged not to be returned to . They might have been jovial and loving because they were excited to see how you faired on this sinful toilet called Earth, and MAYBE you had to go back because your soul was not yet ready for heavenly consumption, maybe earths turmoil prepares our souls for a tasty treat, and that is why they were excited, animated, and loving, for the thought of consuming your essence? Or maybe they just get off on sending our inferior entities into turmoil, and once they regaled in our turmoil, they send our souls to an even worse existence, over and over again for eternity!
