What do you deserve? May 26, 2009 2:33 am "Dedicate yourself to the good you deserve & desire for yourself. Give yourself peace of mind. You deserve to be happy. You deserve delight." - Mark VHansen The world is full of misinterpretations of quotes and verses taken out of context. I don't know where the above quote came from or if it was part of a greater body of writing. All I can say is that taken alone, the idea of finding happiness because we somehow "deserve" it is contrary to the peace we find when we start looking at the needs of others, and that starts with realizing we are not the center of the world. Yes, the world actually does not revolve around the desires of each one of us. The world goes on just find without any of us, if we are talking about our individual selfish "wants" in existence. And what do each of us truly deserve? Ask yourself how you contributed to or opposed the desires of others, and the answer steers you right in the face. The average person is so busy running over others to get what they want, that they've spent a life-time showing they don't deserve their own desires. |

i agree with you. that's why government over spends. there are so many programs out there that we pay for just because someone feels they have a right to our money. i cannot understand why i have to pay for someone else's happiness. why can't they go out and earn it themselves. why do i have to feel sorry for an individual who was too lazy to learn in school and is now unable to take care of themselves? Why? one day, i hope there is a revolution in california and in america that the right to tax the citizens away from the politicians and puts it back into the hands of the people. thanks for sharing erica visit my blog and let's chat

The problem is that people will lie to take advantage....and many irresponsible people lie to themselves first and foremost, so they can even pass a lie detector claiming they are honestly among those in need of help.
