"Here's Something to Think About!"🤔threepeat!!!!!
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friends or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love as if you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time-outs, and no second chances. You have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.
On the first day, God created the dog. God said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I'll give you back the other ten."
So God agreed.
On the second day, God created the monkey. God said, "Entertain people, do monkey tricks, and make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year lifespan." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. The dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay?"
And God agreed.
On the third day, God created the cow. "You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves, and give milk to support the farmer. I will give you a life span of sixty years."
The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. Let me have twenty and I'll give back the other forty."
And God agreed again.
On the fourth day, God created man. God said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry, and enjoy your life. I'll give you twenty years."
The man said, "What? Only twenty years? Tell you what, I'll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back, and the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?"
Okay," said God, "You've got a deal."
So that is why the first twenty years we eat, sleep, play, and enjoy ourselves; for the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family; for the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren, and the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you. 🙌🏿
