What am I you trying for in this world ?

 

[Vinayaka]

Not much any more except to stay alive through this pandemic. Like @ChristineM , we've accomplished our goals, which was to live a safe, comfortable life of free from tedious labor and free from want, surrounded by love, friends, and beauty, being relatively healthy, and to make a positive difference to our community.

Of course, we also want the respect and affection of friends and neighbors, and to live without guilt, shame, blame, or regret.

These days, much of that is on hold until we can get out of the house and be with other people again.



We are Americans living in Mexico. Mangoes grow here, and we have friends with mango trees, and so can get them free (true for avocados as well). But in the market, they are presently $19.9 MXN (pesos) / kilo - about $1 USD / 2.2 pounds. I don't know how many mangoes are in a kilo, but I imagine 2-3.

Mainly the only thing free here are saskatoons, but I have to pick them myself, either from my own tree, or on my brother's farm. I do have friends with apple trees, and pear trees. They get dried if I get a lot.

If NOT, then what are you trying for in this world, actually ?

Peace, happiness and a modicum of sanity, both for me and my family.

I can't stop you from totally ignoring the different, totally ignoring all the things Trump has torn apart, totally ignoring the corruption he's instituted, totally ignoring the rest of the world's attitude, totatally ignoring all the conservatives and former Republican office holders that have rejected him to support Biden and so forth.

As far as you repeatedly referring to the facts that are there for anyone who wants to see them as "tiresome", we'll reality is tiresome but it hits people in the head with 2x4's with embedded nails.

But I have to thank you for reminding me to give some more money to the Biden campaign etc which I have not done in ANY prior presidential race. Yes, my money is where my mouth is. I'm sure that's tiresome to you.

Justice and peace.

Are you sure you will get ?

 

[chinu]

Have you not been introduced to the 1%??? They literally make money and fame by basically doing nothing compared to most of the rest of us.

but still they want more, why ?

or you have answered this funny ?

 

[chinu]

Ive done what i set out to do in spades. Now i am happy to relax, enjoy life and guide my kids on their journey.

Of course that involves a lot of doing too but that's life

Happy to relax means.. you want to work less, more less, day by day.

 

[chinu]

Well I was trying to find a way to help @Secret Chief get the lid off his jar of chutney, but it appears that’s already been accomplished.

I guess I’m done here.

You can lid on his jar after his meals

 

[Aupmanyav]

Not trying for anything. Ready to accompany the reaper.

 

[chinu]

I want to understand the Universe on a deeper level than anyone else if it helps us improve society and the kingdom of God.

Best of luck!

 

[ChristineM]

Have you ever tried looking after a home?

 

[chinu]

Have you ever tried looking after a home?

Yes, why not.

 

[ChristineM]

Yes, why not.

You made a comment

Happy to relax means.. you want to work less,

I was just checking if you knew what you were talking about considering you cherry picked that phrase out of my whole post and omitted

Of course that involves a lot of doing too but that's life

So thanks. You have explained all i need to know

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Are you sure you will get ?

Of course not.

Why do people want:

1. More money even after attaining the desired amount ?
2. More name fame even after attaining the desired name fame ?
3. Even more less-work after attaining the desired job ?

Is it possible to get all (3) three fulfilled at the one same time? If yes, then give me the solution.

If NOT, then what are you trying for in this world, actually ?

Or, tell all the funny things that you’re trying.

We are serially immortal through our progeny and our works. Our lives end, our children's lives continue our legacies. We spend a lifetime amassing assets, only to pass them to the next generation because we can't carry those assets to heaven. Carnegie, after starting out poor, then enslaving child workers who would often lose arms in his machinery, left legacy of ornate libraries (interpreted as a hand up, not hand out), but the real purpose of the charity was to emblazon the Carnegie name throughout history. What good is fame at the cost of human suffering? Some leaders pass their kingdoms to their idiot kids, and increasingly dim the cerebral wattage with each passing generation.

 

[Clara Tea]

Money (greed), fame (vanity), sloth, and chutney (and throw in some other deadly sins).

If I was a billionaire, I'd buy up tons of gold treasure and other treasure, and store it up in the center of a mountain castle
