Note: Top Tips too ...

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.

There's a moral in there somewhere!

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.

Or experience the world with a non-judgemental, mild, curiosity. :wink:

How true! I've written this down in my little book of wise words.

Sometimes just to sit, and do nothing, for a minute, is a good thing. God or not.

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

I’m in danger of becoming a shadow of my former shadow.

Whatever one's personal opinion concerning divinity (or one's disbelief therein), the attempt to find balance and peace within should never be considered a waste of time.
