Something to think about

**Breslauer** · 25th December 2008, 08:06 AM

If you can........

If you can........start the day without caffeine,
If you can........always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can........resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can........ eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can........understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you
any time
If you can........overlook it when those you love take it out on you when
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you can........take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can........resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can........face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can........conquer tension without medical help,
If you can........relax without liquor,
If you can........ sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can........honestly say that deep in your heart that you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics.

Only then you have reached the same level of development as your dog.

Amen to that!

Thought deeply about what you said, Breslaur.

Can't do any of those things. Must be because I am human.

Well nobody's perfect.

Are you really being serious? I don't think he was; see all the smileys.
Don't hide that fabled Newfoundland humour!

"If you can........honestly say that deep in your heart that you have no prejudice

Or just hate everyone equally.

Sometimes I wonder who's silly. Unless you can live with anarchy, governance or politics is a necessary evil, but many people get along just fine, or even better, with each other without anything to do with religion.

Hi Tonto., sorry if I misinterpreted your reply. Seems to be a problem of interpreting the meaning of your remark. You see, here the expression "Get stuffed" is a nice way of saying Go f... yourself. The word Treehugger is a derogatory remark for environmentalist fanatics while Hippy is usually reserved for Slobs. So I hope you will see my point in being a bit upset.
So please accept my apology and have a happy and prosperous 2009

Regards, Lothar
