You're trying to live your life the best way you know how, and it seems that people who are doing crap namely:illegal activities,engaged in corrupt practises,indulging in unethical behaviors like having affairs with other peoples husband/wives, they're living it up while I'm fighting to make it each and every day. Don't get me wrong I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to live my life the GODly way as best as possible, and it's seems to be all for naught...sigh. Sometimes I think it's just better to be a bad girl or something, but then that would mean altering who I am as an individual, and I don't want to be that kind of person. But I just think that it's really funny, but I guess when you look at it, Life's pretty funny just not always in the "ha ha" way.

it is not for us to judge others, least we be judges by God. it's all in His hands. He will take care of those that don't live by His word. the more we live by God's word and do what He wants, the better our reward. keep your eyes on God and do not be envious of what others have or do. God will take care of everyone else.

Thanks for the advice but I wasn't judging anybody, just stating the obvious.I know scripture too, I know GOD rains on the just and the unjust,but I'm also a human being who will have questions especially when I see things happening in front of my face. To each his own,I know in a timing GOD will deal with both them and even me, but doesn't negate the fact that at times it just make me wonder, but I do totally understand and appreciate where you're coming from,Thank you. :-)

To me that is the most annoying. I hate it that things are really so backwards like that. I understand and agree with you completely. It makes me so frustrated. Because I know that I'm working hard, doing my best, trying to prioritize and it seems as if I can never get ahead. Then there are those people who seem to have everything and perhaps some have got it by dishonest means. It is aweful. I hope though that some time in the future I will be able to reach a comfortable financial situation and that I won't have to struggle so hard.

Some people find life as "unfair" due to these reasons that you have written above. We also wonder why some people who are doing illegal things having luxuries life are not punished but are free and happy. However, we are not sure either if they are really happy (who knows) While, there are many more people who are suffering, dying in hunger but living in fair manner. It's hard to understand what does life means to each of us...

jaiho2009, you raise a valid point there, they may not necessarily be happy. Thnks for that reminder,reminds me of when my mom would tell me you never know how a man accquired his riches, so it doesnt make sense envying him/her. I love your closing remarks "It's hard to understand what does life means to each of us...."

There are people who is really lacking of moral values in life that they were grown up from the influential family wherein life is just all about MONEY. Others are doing illegal matters because of the influence of the unhealthy environment that they are living. Some of them are depressed with the pressure of their family especially the parents.

It's actually not funny at all. It is sad though. One thing is for sure though, and I have said this in many, many of my posts and responses. Good deeds will be rewarded, bad ones will be punished. Maybe not now, or tomorrow or in the near future but I'm sure that when it happens it will be perfect. It is disappointing that there are a lot of people who lives soullessly, and thrives, but at the end of the day, I guarantee you this, there is sadness in their life. They will never find rest knowing that what they do is something immoral. On the other hand, someone who is striving to live from day to day making the most of what they have, while being guided by their morals, I'm sure something's in store for them, and the timing is just gonna be awesome. Last week I quoted one of the greatest brains of this planet, "You can't put a good man down forever. The laws of this universe will see to it that he gets rewarded..." And he is right. Keep doing what you're doing. What's in store for you is something you haven't ever imagined, and it will be great. Cheers!

I haven't had much experience in real life with this kind of thing (other than the "cool" stupid kids getting all the good girls while the nerds get turbo-rejected every other day), but on a much smaller scale on minecraft servers. I own several shops on servers, and I sell supplies like food and tools for people who are too lazy to do it themselves. Sometimes, if I really want to make money for an upcoming purchase of land or more supplies, I really have to be the jerk and jack up the prices. Making backdoor deals with other shop owners to bring prices up even more... it really is a terrible thing for the normal user. Oh, I'm also the richest person on the server, even more so than the server owner. :/ Specifically after being pushed back down again by people who think they are better than me, I don't stay down. I do my best work in the days after something terrible happens (whether that be a girl rejecting me or a traumatic injury). I've done everything from teach myself calculus to writing books, and programming in there somewhere. Having been on both sides of the push, I can say that it is morally hard for me to make those kind of choices on the server, and it doesn't really bother me in real life. I just get back up, work hard, and try again. You don't have to become that "bad girl" in order to do anything. Just find a song that you listen to when you are down. Not sure how exactly relevant to the topic that was.... being pushed down by people who are living it up by doing bad things? Kinda related. Society isn't perfect, and there will always be the rich who want to get richer, and those people who think they don't have anything to lose. I personally listen to Paradise by Coldplay when I get pushed down. It fits almost perfectly, for me at least.

You sound like a fighter and that's great, you don't let anything keep you down for long. I'm very encouraged by that,and truth be told Coldplay's Paradise is the ringtone on my phone, maybe I should take it in more often and see if it can soothe me the way it does you,lol. Continue to be the strong indiviaual/ mover and shaker that you are, you'll surely attain more than you have at this very moment :-)

sometimes i seriously think about that. i wonder why people who are living a clean life will always be put into test. i wonder also why some people will not be happy at other's people success. makes me think that life is sometimes unfair. but wait, life is fair and life is an echo. maybe you will not get what you want now but i know for sure that what we sow is what we will reap. and those selfish people will have their own dose of their medicine.
