When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful, a miracle?
The Logical Song lyrics When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,logical, responsible, practical. And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,clinical, intellectual, cynical. There are times when all the world's asleep,the questions run too deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am. Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,liberal, fanatical, criminal. Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable! At night, when all the world's asleep, the questions run so deep for such a simple man. Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurdbut please tell me who I am.
What do you think makes life so wonderful?
I believe that life is wonderful despite all the inconsistencies and struggle because it is possible to have substantive time bound goals and the hope of achieving them.If we analyze this further, the two important factors that make it possible to have goal and hope are the uncertainties of future and certainty of death. How ignorant we truly are that so naively we despise both the certainty of death and uncertainty of future that really are the key contributors to making our life so wonderful!!
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful...?
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily, Joyfully, playfully watching me. But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible, Logical, responsible, practical. ~~~~haha ignore that. are you ready for some logical questions? 10 points if you answer correctly! ready?! GO! It's always 1 to 6, it's always 15 to 20, it's always 5, but it's never 21, unless it's flying. What is this? A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says, "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How can this be? A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out. :) These are pretty easy. Anyways GOOD LUCK.
Why is life so wonderful?
I'm serious, like waking up to a nice sunny day and feeling good. Spending time with my kids, going on vacation, going snow skiing or kayaking or mountain biking, finding that wonderful little hole in the wall restaurant, going to live theater. Laughing, singing and smiling. Starting a new and exciting business. It's like heaven on Earth. It's great to be alive!
If "God" is so wonderful...?
God doesn't MAKE those happen, He allows them to happen. He loves EVERYONE and doesn't want to hurt them, but sometimes when you get REALLY sick or your baby comes out weird, it doesn't mean God DID it he just allowed it from Satan. When you become REALLY sick God allows that for MANY reasons, He could be getting your body ready for another REALLY bad sickness that you will need A LOT of strength to fight off. OR he could be getting your body ready for a sickness you won't have, because earlier in life you had a REALLY bad sickness that prepared your body for another , therefor you didn't have that one because your body was able to fight it off, and you didn't even know it!! :-) and They may not DESERVE that but God knows when your going to die, millions of years EARLIER!!! So if someone in your family gets a life threatening disease it may not be part of Gods plan because he just allowed it to happen but he will chose when you will die. It's not because of that disease you were gonna already die then with or without the disease...Just pray, Jesus loves you!!! :-) God knows when he wants them to come home (if your a christian) :-) Have a nice day :-)
If life is supposed to be wonderful then why is it so hard?
it seems that this very mindset by which you ask this question is the root of the problem. an expectation that life is to be a certain way makes all other possible outcomes negative and undesirable. when life is supposed to be wonderful, all other times when it is not may be thought of as disappointments and failures. the solution then is to think that life is supposed to be undefined. when you create no expectations there are no limits and when there are no limits there can be no failures. life is truly something that we cannot be sure of in any particular way and so whatever happens just does. when you think this way you will not be disappointed by what comes for you had no prior judgment. we can never truly know what is to come of the future and for this reason it is best to focus on what we do know, now. if life is wonderful now then leave it at that and take it no further. don't overextend the wonderful feeling. in the same way, if life is hard now, know that in the future it may change for now is only so long. think with your reason, act with your heart.
"If I'm So Wonderful, Why Am I Still Single?"?
Here is what I was thinking about, and actions that I did that kept me from meeting that special someone. This was within a six year period: 1. I always expected the worse to happen. 2. Whenever I did something wrong, I expected him to not forgive me, or hold a grudge and take away the love he bestoed upon me. 3. I dated "separated" men. (not a good thing they're always unstable with what they want). 4. I didn't think I was worthy enough for a respectable man, so I would settle for less than I expected out of one. 5. Always trying to please 'him' instead of considering what I felt and what I needed in my life to be happy. 6. Always depending on a man to fullfill my happiness, so I felt as if I weren't happy unless I had someone to share my life with. Of course I found out that's not true. You have to make yourself happy in order to "be" happy in life. 7. Withdrawn from huge crowds or from others whom I didn't know. I was quiet. 8. I didn't know how to keep a conversation going, or interesting. I felt since I didn't have a college education behind me, that I couldn't fit in or was intelligent enough. 9. I was needy for attention/affection/friendship. Some co-worker friends saw this too and didn't like it, so I lost friends as well. 10. Expected too much when I shouldn't have. Hope this helps. Boy was I a mess....LOL There is so much you learn about yourself and your actions as you grow and mature. Of course we can't change what has already been done, but we can sure learn from it, and use that knowledge in the future. I made a lot of mistakes when trying to find a man. And a lot of them were because of my self esteem and confidence. Another example that could be ruled in, and this isn't what I did, but I've seen it, and it is: 1. Never satisfied. Always looking for that "Perfect" person. I hope you get some good answers. :-) Take care my friend....
This is just an emotional and reminiscing question that forms a lump in my throat and I start choking. I finished my 12th this year and yeah, it gives me mixed feelings.One thing is that there will be no more discipline to be followed. No more rules. No more homeworks. ( There will be assignments in college but still..:P). No more teachers who do not leave us for sports. No more scoldings from teachers for stealing others' property! LOL.The other thing, Friends! The pranks we played, the boring classes we enjoy by playing hangman, the sports we play and the sportsmanship we develop, little fights in 5th and 6th std which settle after 4–5 years when we come to 11th and 12th standard, bringing phone to school and taking pics in front of the camera :'D, the houses being divided in school and the projects we do with teamwork, all small crushes in school and teasing( “Hey! There's your girl or boy”), playing Truth or Dare, Making friends with seniors and bragging about it so childishly, being active in social networking and starting a so called “School Confessions” blah! And confessing all things that cannot be confessed in front of them, those hugs and cries during Farewell!!We get to realise the fact that we have to move on and friends are not the end!It maybe painful to those who have been so close for 15 years, that too in the same school.Its so WONDERFUL totally!For truthful friendships, the bond will never be broken and the love will never get lost.Such a bond is difficult to break and at the same time is difficult to find. Long years of friendship and happiness!!School life is great! :’)
Do you know life with Jesus is wonderful?
Jesus is not the problem but like all other religions it is humanities politicizing of the religion where things go wrong. Regrettably people will then turn to blame the religion itself rather than the plasticizers of the religion. Pope John Paul was to acknowledge the sins of the Church. I do not recall any other religious leader being so brave. So as you state one simply cannot be ashamed of Jesus. How can we be ashamed of a man who was brutally beaten, hing on a cross and in His last breath asked for forgiveness who did this to Him. We can only bow our head in shame. Those that commit evil acts in His name must also bow their heads in shame and pray for forgiveness.
Is married life really wonderful?
There are a few truths you need to know about marriage. It takes work, the better you want your marriage to be, the more work it takes. Love neither fixes or resolves anything, if it did, there wouldn't be any divorces. Love can, and often does, come and go in a long term marriage, it's the friendship, communication, mutual respect and more that keeps you together during those times. If two people put in the effort and works through the bad times and never takes each other for granted. Then marriage IS WONDERFUL! My marriage has been beyond wonderful and we just celebrated our 19th year wedding anniversary last month! And it keeps getting better every year! Communication, respect, friendship.. those are three big key items.. above and beyond love! But also there is responsibility and knowing you are 50% responsible at all times within your marriage. Know it isn't helping out with anything it is pulling your own weight at all times. You don't help with children in the home, you parent them. You don't help do the house work, you clean up the messes because you live there. It has to be give and take at all times. Never taking the other person for granted. I loved being single and enjoyed it fully. When I found the right person, I have loved and enjoyed married life fully! Be happy with yourself and the decisions you make will be good ones and make a choice to work at anything you find is worth while in your life.
