    Maybe you should stop praying and start evaluating your life. Make some moves.

    There is no such thing as good or bad luck. Everything happens for a reason. Keep your head up and make wise choices. play the hand. Be the cause and create your own effects.

    I hate dervisions. That isn't pride you idiot. ? placed on Job what he knew he could handle. My natural born father wasn't easy on me and it built a man who can stand against any tide.

    That thought process is found in ALL religions. Trials are given to build character and faith.

    It's not necessary for you to detract from the purpose of this thread cause I mentioned the bible when this man asking for strength in his tough times.

    Man, devil be pulling the strings of some of you folks.

    Wtf is a dervision?

    But since you want to compare you and your fathers relationship to a biblical account, lets say your father kileld your whole family aside you, burned your house down, and basically stripped you naked all to prove to another man that you would remain his faithful son.

    How would you feel about your father after he killed your mother right infront of your eyes man?

    Religion and logic will never get along.

    There is no "everything happens for a reason", life doesn't work like that.

    I believe ? just happens, there's no "bad/good" luck, there's no "reasons".

    Every cause has its effect. Every effect has its cause. Everthing happens according to the law. Chance is but a name for the law not recognized. There are many planes of causation, but none escape this law.

    Cause and effect has nothing to do with good and bad luck though.

    That's the point there is no such thing as good or bad luck.

    I see what you're saying, but "everything happens for reason" is looked at as a "? " thing. Someone who is left in a coma, "well, it's for a reason", like it's some purpose served for someone to learn from. That bs is ? .

    the effect will become a cause and thus be preceded by an effect. This is the "reason"

    If you let what life throws at you decide if whether you're happy or not, you're in for a rollercoaster ride. A rollercoaster ride where you feel the lows the most and you can't enjoy your highs because you're pessimistic of the future.


    Most "bad ? " is bad because you make it bad. Of course there are going to be things that put you down but you've gotta roll with the punches. If you want good things in life, you have to TAKE it. Sometimes it falls in your lap, but 99% of the time it's never when you want/need it. If you ain't satisfied with what's going on, figure out what you can do to make it better and DO IT.


    Nobody deserves anything. Anything good you get out of life is either something you took or it was pure luck. And if you're on a bad luck streak pouting about a bag of money not falling from the sky, then well... Life will suck.

    *yeah i making this about religion so back out now*

    T/S I recall your one of the more vocal christian posters on here, right?

    See this is the problem with a belief system based upon living a "good life" just to curry favor with a deity/gain an eternal reward; and having that belief system reinforced because your ass was lucky enough to be born and raised in an industrialized, stable country....

    ....Is that when ? in your life goes bad, you've been living your life with such an entitlement complex, it ? rocks you to your core that it happened to you.

    "HOW DARE MISFORTUNE ENTER MY LIFE!!! I'M A PRAYING ? FEARING CHRISTIAN!! I'M FAVORED!!"

    Instead, how about we realize that misfortune affects everyone to varying degrees. And about 80% of the misfortune that most people bring about in their lives could've been avoided.

    Improve where you know you can, eliminate the negativity that's under your control and be more aware of ? that isn't.

    Your imaginary ? doesn't exist so stop taking misfortune personally. Fate is objective as ? , B.
