A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.

No he couldn't Elegran

Sadly My Jesus asked his farther to forgive then for they no not what they do, whereas, now adays people do.

I don't understand your post of "No he couldn't Elegran" as an answer to mine a little before it. I was referring to the Pharisee (a high-ranking and respected member of the Jewish priesthood) who prayed saying ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ He certainly loved and valued himself, and probably told himself daily that "I am worth it".
I don't see why your response to that was, "No he couldn't Elegran". What couldn't the Pharisee do?

Your later post is to a link to a video of a hymn, not really a reply either, or anything to do with the discussion. Neither is the comment about people knowing better nowadays - they don't, they still fail to forgive as Jesus asked them to, even those who make the most claim to be Christian.!

Even SOME who make the most claim to be Christian - not all are unforgiving and vindictive.

Change can come in a thingy of a whotsit, illtellhim.

Note to self ...

Don't chase people.
Be an example.
Attract them.
Work hard and be yourself.
The people who belong in your life, will come and find you.
Just do your thing.

If that fails, become a poster on GransNet

Plumbing the depths .........

I suspect some of yesterday's posts , not saying which, were after Prosecco o'clock, Elegran!

That's strange Maw after wine o'clock, I become very mellow and love all my fellow men.
On one occasion many years ago now, I became so mellow and loving , I rang three other couples and invited them to dinner the following weekend and they all accepted. I had a few regrets the next morning but got the recipe books out and planned my menu and shopping and although I can't actually remember details, I know we would have had a lovely time as, when we got together we always did.
It all seems so very long ago.

Me too annsixty but I hae ma doots!

Illtellhim do you feel you have lost your way in life?

You seem to be searching for something,
or are you just hoping that by looking inward you will find the key to happiness.

IMHO li
sometimes life has to be take by the scruff of the neck and some problems need to be dealt with head on.

If you are on a wrong road - no matter how far along it you have gone - turn back.
Turkish proverb

Note to self .....

Its entirely possible to be a kind, loving person who refuses to tolerate bullshit.

In fact, its not only possible, its absolutely necessary.

That is the trueist of your aphorisms, Illtellhim, and it is the one that I try to follow.

Anything worth doing, is worth doing badly at first.

To Err is Human
To foul up completely requires a computer!

Note to self ....

They say the truth will set you free, but what they neglect to mention is what happens when the truth isn't what you want to hear.

Quote to self .....

Life is like sex, you can ether lie back and let it screw you, or you can get on top and ride the hell out of it.

Old fashion self :-

If you're going to make love to the person you will spend the rest of your life with, do it wearing the safest thing, a wedding ring.

These are a bit sad * illtellhim* scraping the bottom of the calendar barrel??

Note to Illtellhim
Is it not time to stick the calendar quotes in't bin and live your life how you see fit??

This is for me .......

Life is beautiful but it isn't always easy.
I must learn to take the good with the bad, hang in there and always remember, tomorrow is a brand new day.

You have to admire ITH's persistence ...

Note to self:

If something annoys me, but it is of little consequence, has no real impact on the quality of my life and I do not have to deal with it, I can simply avoid it.

I must remember that.....

Life is amazing. Then its awful. Then its amazing again.
In between the amazing and the awful its ordinary and mundane and routine.
Breath in the amazing, hold on through the awful, relax and exhale during the ordinary.
That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life.

And it's breathtakingly beautiful
