    Money - just a distraction?

    I have been thinking.
    If we come here with nothing, and leave with nothing, why dont people put aside their social conditioning and selfishness and just try and help one another?

    I mean, it is all worth nothing anyway is it, so why not use it for a better purpose?
    sure, everyone will say "give it to me then" but how about if they gave to others too, not just money, but assistance in physical and emotional too.

    I like your thinking, there are all manner of things you could share; your house, time, tools, holidays, food, drink, knowledge, computers, money and more.

    But there are those that will take whatever you have to give and then some.
    Who knows they may even be too miserable to pay what's owed when they leave and tell lies when they're done.

    Thankfully though such parasites are few and far between and for the most part it's worth it.

    The people that want the rest of us to 'share' generally aren't the ones that get up at five in the morning to go to work.

    How many of the don't haves really deserve any help/sharing, or have made decisions that have put them where they are?

    (Talking generally here, rather than people that have had something thrust upon them - like an earthquake)
    It's only when you take the piss out of a partially shaved wookie with an overactive 'me' gene and stapled on piss flaps that it becomes a problem.

    Stop trying to be a goody two shoes carver.
    You have sex with boys and furry animals.
    God hates you.
    You are going to hell, so stop trying to wriggle out of it by seeming concerned with mankind.

    Talk is dirt cheap.

    Someone needs a hug?

    Maybe join one of these cults that grow all their on food etc Carver? Problem is they will want to share your motorcycle, and women folk.

    And there it is - THE MOTORCYCLE - this requires money to purchase and run, thus YES, money is essential in my life.

    A distraction - No - a hot gal in itty-bitty shorts with a hint of butt cheek hanging out is a distraction.

    Ah yes, but them is the weeds in the otherwise good garden.
    When it comes down to it, is their really a excuse for not helping a fellow human being?

    Jesus once said "i was hungry and you fed me, i was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, and they will say, lord, when did we ask that of you, and he will say, he who did it for the least of you, did so unto me" now that is off by heart, so it may be a bit rough on the translation.

    Ah yes, but does the motorcycle consume all your money and time?

    Jesus, carver. Have those Mormons finally caught up with you?
