Yay! Friday night Pizza! Pan crust, extra cheese, mushrooms, black olives and sliced meatball...yum!

My daughter has a girl-friend over tonight for a sleep-over so this will be gone quickly!

Just some questions that can't be answered, but maybe we all ask...

Why does Life force us into becoming who we are instead of letting us be who we wanted to be?

Why is it that when we finally get to the place where things are really working for us and we are on top of our game, physical ailments and unpredictable misfortunes knock us back into the corner?

Why is it that those we choose to be with and trust always seem to let us down when we need them most to be by our side?

Why can't we figure out how to feel empathy for others and believe their motives aren't always selfish?

Why does Family always seem to believe that they are entitled to ignore the normal human decency and respect they would give a stranger when dealing with each other?

Why do women all seem to lose their minds after age 40 and believe it's the men that have lost theirs? (or vice-versa)

Why do people believe the laws of the land apply to all others without question but believe they can pick and choose which one's apply to them?

Why is it always about us vs. them in everything we engage in?

Why is it that everyone believes that what they think is true applies to everyone else and fight so hard to impose it on them when they know if the same were to happen to them they would fight it with all their strength?

There are no definitive answers to these questions and there maybe many theories about them...but the enlightenment is in considering them and evaluating the self for the answers as to why. Why others do things is nowhere near as enlightening as understanding why we do them. The answers lie within I think.

Lately I have been spending a lot of time trying to understand what (and why) lies within in order to understand the reality of the rest. The Gnostics believed that God is everything and to understand God, one must strive to understand everything...starting with the self. I'm finding that to be a logical notion that is worthy of exploration.
 
@Ddaddy that musta been some pizza to come up with that after the "breaking of the bread".
It's more than the pizza, it's a bigger weight that has been driving me. The pizza only created a washing of the tensions of the day that cleared my thoughts enough to let it surface once again. It's been the better part of a year that it has been occupying my thoughts when I let the pressures of the moment go.

I have an overwhelming feeling that the time remaining on this Earth needs to be spent understanding why I was here in the first place...and what my life has meant so that I can do more with what remains of it. I somehow feel compelled to make it all worth something more than mere existence. I almost feel that I will eventually need to explain to God what I did with the gift of life and why it was worthy of the gift at all.

Necessity and/or greed

Nothing good seems to last long.

when the going gets tough.........

Why can't we figure out how to feel empathy for others and believe their motives aren't always selfish?
Pavlov's dogs. Conditioned response through experience.

Why does Family always seem to believe that they are entitled to ignore the normal human decency and respect they would give a stranger when dealing with each other?
I threw my wife's sister out of the house today because she told my 3y/o grandbaby "I'm not putting up with your ****" in those words. And i her her i wasn't putting up with hers either. the kid was trying to get in the bathroom before she pissed her diaper.

Hormones

Why do people believe the laws of the land apply to all others without question but believe they can pick and choose which one's apply to them?
Most talk the talk, but are not walking the walk.

Why is it always about us vs. them in everything we engage in?
If people actually took the time to read the Satanic doctrines they would realize that they're on the wrong side of the fence and wouldn't behave that way. Know thy enemy and not be him.

because they're hypocrites and lack the strength they profess.

Things I learned driving to Mitch's..
1. Not all professional truck drivers are.
2. If it has Ohio plates and is in the left lane, it will vary speed greatly for no discernible reason.
3. A few strategically place idiots can render cruise control completely worthless.
4. A tuna fish and hard boiled egg diet makes roadtrips quite aromatic.
5. Phone synced by Bluetooth to the vehicle is an awesome invention.
6. Girls who wear berets do not shave.
7. Cheap motel parking lots attract drunk toothless people late at night.
8. Pretty women drive just as poorly as the ugly ones.
9. Virginia has some pretty women.
10. Not all cops eat donuts..

You forgot one very important question.

Why is it (most) women are embarrassed to let people seen them in their underwear but then go to a beach in a string bikini just fine?

Yeah him and I were discussing that a couple days back. I've been wondering the same thing for years
 
So I brought home 3 giant Pelican cases yesterday that I got cheap at a pawn/resale store. Gonna use them to store baby clothes, anyone have a need or desire for some high density foam padding?
