i have never understood that cliche' either.

yeah its retarded 

Life....is what we make it....or some such bullshit

I don't even know anymore haha.

hahah you are so good 

Seriously....why should anyone know?  And do those who say they know only spout bullshit?

Exactly!!!

I struggle sometimes with the whole Master plan thing too. It's hard to see all that happens being directed by a loving God.... I do believe though that it's a much bigger picture then what we can fully understand. I can now say that all my abuse and pain and suferring was worth where I am right now with God.  But before I had God, it was devastating.  God has set aside eternal life with him for us, something I believe we can not fully understand,  and HE knows that without it , we would then know the ultimate form of suffering which again we can not fully understand.

Too many people are so scared of a world without God, and they use this fear to control others..
We as a species will NEVER achieve our potential until we cast aside the fears and doubts.
it's too bad, for we have the ability to go so far..
