Do Nothing - to Change Your Life ...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Not a question of 'God Bothering' or another tedious lecture from an old git - More like good and wise advice. If you are foolish enough to reply you just don't get it, eh?!

Don’t make tea by dunking a tea bag in a mug. Buy proper tea. And warm the pot. Throw the pot in the bin and drink copious amounts of vodka.

In my experience God helps those that help themself.

The only person that is going to help you is you!
No amount of feckless prayer, New Age Hippy trippy s**t or any amount crystals (unless it's Meth, in which case you're probably fucked anyway) will change that.

The meek won't inherit shit.
Trust me, I know.

Doing what other people think is the right thing is also way overrated in my experience.

Be a bastard.
Be happy.
But if it all goes wrong at least have the balls to accept the blame - wether it's something you did do or didn't do, the odds are it's your fault.

Sometimes just to sit, and do nothing, for a minute, is a good thing. God or not.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Unfortunately that is not a luxury that has been afforded me of late. :?

I think we've been in here too long. I feel unusual. I think we should go outside.
