God's Answer.

Turning to the Bible, this was what I saw in Jeremiah 12, aptly titled 'God's Answer' in bold.

GOD''S ANSWER
5 “If you have raced with men on foot,
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?

6 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.

7 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.

13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.
So bear the shame of your harvest
because of the Lord's fierce anger.”

14 This is what the Lord says:
“As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people Israel,
I will uproot them from their lands
and I will uproot the house of Judah from among them.

15 But after I uproot them,
I will again have compassion
and will bring each of them back
to his own inheritance and his own country.

16 And if they learn well the ways of my people... saying,
‘As surely as the Lord lives’
—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal—
then they will be established among my people.

17 But if any nation does not listen,
I will completely uproot and destroy it,” declares the Lord.

This inheritance that awaits me - its artifice chokes as greed from the Onlooker wears my patience thin.

Money cannot buy Happiness.

Like God has said, it has become a snare and I, a bird of prey.

Repent, Onlooker(s).

Depend on nobody but yourself. God has gifted me with what I do best & that will be the area in which I effect change in lives.

Do what is Good & Right. Be honest & uphold Righteousness.

As for the monetary aspects, I will use what I have to help the Poor.

That would be right in God's sight.

Clink, Clunk, Chockful Chunk!

How long will the land lie parched
and the grass in every field be withered?

There are only two reasons I am still alive :
1) It is a sin to kill oneself.
2) Mum.

When the day comes that Mum sheds the skin of this world, would I still be able to struggle & stay alive?

Money in abundance - through sheer hard work, through an inheritance - would it justify survival?

Shall we attribute it to a mood swing or an anxiety attack? No, my friend.

I conceal my secrets well & nobody but God knows all that I've suffered.

"But you've a good life. What do you have to complain about?"

Really? Because from what I know, people tend to say this because of the fancy car, posh district & epicurean indulgences

Is that all it takes for you to be Happy?

No, I don't miss You anymore. This entire post isn't about You. I don't wake up thinking of You any longer.

Is this Letting Go?

It was the one thing that gave me a lil Hope, amidst the darkness.

I don't know where this post is going nor its objective. It's a rant, I guess.

Dear God, I've tried my very best.

Sustain me, God.

I cannot go on in this life relying on pure carnal strength of my own,

For I have none left.

I don't know what to write anymore.

I'm Tired.

Apologies for this being the least coherent post thus far.

Hahahahahahahaha....

Laughter drowns out the stifled sobs.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Guffaws spring into action & displace the wails.

Laughter's the best medicine, right?

So why - HA - do these - HA - afflictions - HA- persist?

Warning : The Following Post is Uncharacteristically Mich.

Day in and day out, all that's ever spouted is Money, Money, MONEY, M-O-N-E-Y.

It's not as if there isn't any - there's much to be thankful for;

It's not as if it cannot be raked - opportunities & blessings are rife.

More....MORE...M-O-R-E.....MMMMMMOOORRREEE!

GREED, that's what it's all about.

Pure, unadulterated GREED.

Is money that important?

Does it define a life?

Does it count for anything?

A million, then two, then three....when will it stop?

When will accumulation ever cease?

When will the consumerist addiction be abated?

NEVER.

Because Greed would not allow it.

It will NEVER be enough and your life will be a wisp of Nothing when the flame is snuffed.

• MONEY CANNOT BUY HAPPINESS •

GO.

If you don't know the circumstances, you are in no position to judge.

If you think it's all but a display of hyperboles, you haven't set foot on my path.

Stay where you are.

Go away.

Get lost.

Yes, this is the first time that I'm being rude & caustic in my blog.

Just shut up and GO.

I don't need more bitterness in my life.

Let's Dance!

Dancing in the rain -

It ain't easy.

I'll catch a chill.

But, I'd sure like to give it a try!

Pitter-patter, let enthusiasm not waver.
Petering out won't make it better.
So to the wind thy shall throw caution
Hop on and ride this locomotion!

Tumbleweed.

Everything in Life is a Choice.

It boils down to guts or cowardice.

Languishing is a choice.

If Pain is the recurring resultant, then perhaps an alternative approach would be wiser.

If Tangles warp rationale, snapping loose would be a tangible option.

Cowardice stems from Fear;

Fear of the Unknown, the Subjugated, the Opportunity Cost -

What does Fear give rise to?

Inertia.

And one simply withers away,

Choked by tumbleweed and more.

For a lack of vocabulary, it sucks.

Ennui Be Gone.

"I will laugh. Why should I show others my tears? What comes next after crying? I will laugh at adversity in its face." - 'Shuixian'

Strong words that jolted me.

Sometimes, Life throws you a buoy when you least expect it.

Hello there! =)

A Clean Sweep.

I cried because I had no shoes;
Then I met a man who had no feet.
