Live in the Now. Find Inner Peace. Work on your childhood issues. Learn your life lessons, and work on those. Practice Acceptance, Love, Forgiveness, Understanding, and be a Good Listener

Yes, we must leave the world a better place! Sadly, there are way too many humans suffering from their childhood issues, and taking their anger out inappropriately. Too many overwhelmed, exhausted working parents who don't have the time to understand their childrens' needs and emotions.

Watch the movie "Sequoia." An escaped giraffe from a zoo swallows a small portable radio playing sports news. While the giraffe is walking back to his zoo cage, the radio keeps playing. If you love movies, this one is grrrrrrrrrrreat!

I apologize to the person that said something about a silly comment. They were talking about another comment, not mine.

Yes, turnabout is fair play. And I was just joking about the, "hunter's lives matter".

Another post about thwarting the estate tax. Please refer to my post at 211. Estate tax gets a bad rap in layman's terms, Actually, 90% of all people are never affected by estate tax because it applies ONLY to very large estates. Many people only WISH that they had enough wealth to be affected by it.

Taxes get a bad rap as does LARGE State and Federal government. Without taxes, there would be no interstate highways to drive on. Without taxes, the US would NOT have a large and effective military, which keeps Russian and Chinese soldiers from kicking people out of their homes and into concentration camps. So, be careful what you wish for when you want lower taxes because we are all too old to learn a new language like Russian or Chinese.

So, in thinking about what happens when you are deceased, I would recommend not focusing on how one feels about big government's worth and efficiency, but on the efficiency of the US military, which gave America GREAT wealth and prosperity after WW2. We owe the ones that died too early that much.

What else is part of God's plan? How about childhood cancer or natural disasters with loss of life and total devastation or....... you get the idea. Asking for a friend.

As for afterlife, I am a firm believer that we are just compost or ashes after death.
No spirits in the sky, harps, or fluffy clouds.

The Christians "stole" that fairy tale about a virgin mother from the Pagans. The least the Christians should have done was make up their own story.

What's GOD have to do with cancer? How do you know that cancer is not caused by man? According to some on here, natural(?) disasters are caused by man caused climate change. Interesting how there are many folks in the world that wish to blame GOD for anything that happens to them, yet insist that man has caused all of the naturally occurring changes. Some folks need to make up their minds.
