But just like the good times, the hard times never last.
(Which is odd. Whenever everything is going well, some people can't enjoy it because they fear that something bad is about to happen. But when everything is going wrong, no one stops to enjoy it knowing that things are about to get better. Maybe it's the human condition. IDK)
Even now, I'm so deeply invested in other peoples' well being to the point that if things don't work out for them I may not be able to recover financially.
But I'm a gambling man by nature and it's far better to gamble on others doing well than it is to gamble on slots.
If I go broke, so what.
I'll just do something to make it all back.
It seems that I always do well under difficult conditions.
I've been hella' poor, jumped, shot at, cheated, lied on, hated on, whatever... .
But I always ended up on top.
Some attribute this to 'luck', others 'Karma' and still others 'being blessed'.
In all honesty, I do think it's having the Favor of God.
I can't explain it but I've never felt worthless - even when the drug and alcohol fueled rants from my parents told me so.
I've never felt hopeless - even when my environment taught me that I should be.
I've never felt dumb - even when I had yet to learn what was to be taught.
I've never felt poor - even when I had nothing.
I've never felt inferior - even though there were/are people much better than me.
The bible says, "Where much is given, much is expected.".
If this is the case, aren't faith and hope the greatest gifts to be given?
If one receives these, shouldn't he give freely to others without the expectation of being rewarded?
