Maybe...God wanted us to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. Maybe...when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us. Maybe...it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives. Maybe...the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Maybe...the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches. Maybe...you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do. Maybe...there are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, spouse, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Maybe...the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. Maybe...you should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too. Maybe...you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone. Maybe...giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours. Maybe...happiness waits for all those who cry,all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives. Maybe...you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. Maybe...you should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

To comment on the meeting the wrong people.... I have strong faith in that God prepares one person for you and you for one person... however you will have relationships/struggles/life experiences etc along the way to prepare you. I think that when that perso comes in your life, if you are open to God and open to all possibilites it is wonderful! I hope that the person I will be meeting in August is just that!

Maybe,through living this already planned life that we trip carelessly in to find our simple place to feel at home in. WE ALL have to share mutual mistakes and good and bad thoughts to open our own minds as to what our LORD wanted us to FEEL, and SEE, and experience so as to SHARE his guidence to grow still on this plain. Wink. Very true sentiments and thoughts in your writtings, thank you.

Maybe GOD created " us " narrow minded to believe in all myths and all propaganda . Maybe GOD created "us "so weak ans so stupid that we are blind to see the reality and truth when it comes to religion and politics . Maybe " GOD " created " us " so racist , blood thirsty and ignorant to show us his wisdom . Maybe GOD created the poor , the weak , the sick , the vulnerable to make the strong , the rich , the healthy see his love , his hypocrisy and his uncaring at the same time . maybe GOD created all this pain and suffering in the globe to show " us " how smart , just , fair and pure he is . Maybe..........................ans just MAYBE....!

and maybe God created us with free will... maybe He really didn't have Anything to do with the choices we make in our lives maybe ... some people just don't get it ever !!! maybe some people are going to believe in God no matter how others bash their beliefs maybe some people just have to live their lives in connection with their Heavenly Creator trying to bring out the very best in themselves and the best in others... maybe < some > other people just have to live their lives , trying to put down other people's beliefs cause their own beliefs are so flimsy ... and they make it their life's goal to bring out the very worst in themselves and in others... just maybe....

Maybe this GOD gave " us " earthquakes , floods , and disasters to show all humans how much he loves death and destruction . Maybe he created the terrorists killing the innocent people so everyone knows his peace and justice . Maybe he created the world full of injustice to show " us " religion is all crap . Maybe ..............and maybe.....................

maybe you need to seriously stop with all of your relentless negativity and quit bashing others who believe in God...

maybe you need to seriously stop with all of your relentless negativity and quit bashing others who believe in God... Now Rapunzel my dear, he is not bashing anyone. He is focusing on some negative things however and suggesting that it God's fault. Shame on you Sam. Do you want a spanking? How about focusing on some good things? Like food, sex, cute little puppies, and hottubs! Or anything else you like. Take some responsibility for your reality, you created it, not God. And if you want a spanking, let me know, I'll get my paddle and be right over. JB

I've got some cool skin tight black leather dominatrix outfits we can wear and a choice of a cat of nine tails or the classic pot of melting latex that always does wonders

maybe you need to seriously stop with all of your relentless negativity and quit bashing others who believe in God... My sense is that people who rail most adamantly against other's beliefs are in a process of seeking truth (even if not yet consciously aware).

Maybe GOD started from nothing ( zero ) because those who believe in that have zero brain . Maybe GOD sent a poor and primitive man to serve his slaves with his message because that GOD can not send his own message and rely on a primitive man to do it for him . Maybe God created so many women against your ideas because the reality hurt them so much....Ouch. Maybe..........maybe..............maybe...........
