Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

WE CAN'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS
Question Of The Week 7-30-12
If you could know one profound, infinite, spiritual and universal truth what would you want to know?
I can't think of anything!!! How about this - I always wonder about where our pets and beloved animals' souls go when they die. I hope it's like the Rainbow Bridge poem says and they'll be there to greet us when we pass on.
LL Cool Joe -- That a big question Joey. Don't know about God "allowing" suffering but I do know God gives us the strength to survive it.
Kay -- Wow, another big question that we all ponder. I died once for 30 seconds and I didn't see another world or bright lights but I did feel a calm that provided me a sense of a "peace that passes all understanding".
Of course it would have to be "Why am I here?"
ReplyDeleteTabor -- Perfect question. Mine would be "Why are they there?" (As in life on other planets.)
ReplyDeleteI don't have questions but let me know what you need answered. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat would be my most successful work on this plane, this lifetime.?
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking I have found it and then I get new careers lol and it all changes and I start again.
Is God in control?
ReplyDeleteThat God loves us and all will be well.
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything!!! How about this - I always wonder about where our pets and beloved animals' souls go when they die. I hope it's like the Rainbow Bridge poem says and they'll be there to greet us when we pass on.
ReplyDeleteCliff - There is getting to be a good list here so have at it. Should we call you Mr. Wizard?
ReplyDeleteSonny -- I'm pretty sure that's a question none of us ever find the right answer to. Work is just something to help financially support our hobbies:)
Pat MacKenzie -- And just when we think God is not in control, suddenly we know She is.
Pat -- I am fairly confident of that and thank goodness because if left to my own devices things would be a mess in my life.
Lynn -- I'm hoping I'll be the one waiting on Slim because I can't stand the thought of my best dog in the world going before me.
I would like to know why certain things happened the way they did.

I like Chatty's "Why?" -
ReplyDeletemostly in regard to my Fave people dieing so early- n why am I stuck in this job ...
Chatty Crone -- That's a question we all want the answers for.
ReplyDeleteSnaggle Tooth -- A good question for you would be "Are there any real magic wands?" If there was such a thing I would send you one.
Where do I begin?
ReplyDeleteAnnie,
ReplyDeleteI read what you told Lynn about Slim and if it's any consolation to you,remember that Ashenhurst will be waiting for you on the other side....
why people do evil, hurtful things
ReplyDeleteThe answer to your question!
ReplyDeleteIs life pre-destined, or do we create our lives based on our choices?
ReplyDeleteRiot Kitty -- Profound.
ReplyDeleteNancy -- I wasn't raised to become this attached to animals.
Dianne -- Someone told me once that it is due to metal in our hair.
ashok -- Good one.
Sparkling Red -- I always hate to imagine everything is predestined because I'd sure be wasting my time trying to change things.
Now I've sure got some good ideas for future "Questions Of The Week". Thanks all:)
ReplyDeleteI think the one that most people ask. Why does God allow suffering in this world?
ReplyDeleteWhat is it like when we pass on?
ReplyDeleteLL Cool Joe -- That a big question Joey. Don't know about God "allowing" suffering but I do know God gives us the strength to survive it.
ReplyDeleteKay -- Wow, another big question that we all ponder. I died once for 30 seconds and I didn't see another world or bright lights but I did feel a calm that provided me a sense of a "peace that passes all understanding".
