Hello follower Barbie rants today about life.

What is life? Life to some is getting ahead by what ever means they can. Some it trying to get rich. Other it is just trying to survive from one pay check to another.

The question then is what are we teaching our children about life? Is it, that a name is better than good oil, or how to be cruel, con artistic, thieves, murder, how to lie, are just how to be hateful.

Have you ever notice that those who are rich they die just as the poor does. When they die they can not take their riches with them, instead they leave them behind and their family member fight over what ever is left. The poor don't have much to leave but their family member do the same thing. They too fight for what ever it is that has been left behind. They all seem to fight rich and poor by what ever means they can, be it cheat, lie, or steal.

Some say that when we are born, we come into this world kicking, and crying for a reason. The reason being that even as babies we already know what kind of world we are coming into and we hate it. No wonder the Bible tells us "That the day of death is better than the day of one being born. That it is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the ban quest house."

Years ago I was told that I should cry when some one is born, and laugh when they die. I did not understand at the time how any one could say such a thing. As I have gotten older I have since learned just what the significant of that statement denotes. It means that for now they rest and no longer have to deal with the anxiety of this life. It may sound cruel to some but there is a lot of truth in the saying because of the meaning.

A wise man once said "I myself returned that I might see all the acts of oppression that are being done under the sun, and look the tears of those being oppressed, but they had no comforter, and on the side of their oppressors there was power, so that they had no comforter." He went on to say that "He congratulated the dead who had already died rather than the living who was still alive. So better than both of them is the one who has not seen the calamitous work that is being done under the sun."

That wise man was helping us to appreciate that the dead was better off than the living as they no longer had to deal with the calamitous of life, and that the one's who had never been conceived was better off than both the living or the dead, as they would never have to know the calamitous that would await them in this cruel world.

Join Barbie rants next week for a series of question. Tell me your opinion to each one. In the mean time work on obtaining the wisdom that will make your life a happy one, instead of being one of those who cheat, steal, lie, or con other. Pass on to your children , your families a good name not one that is causing grief to other. So then what is life? Each one of us have to answer that question for our selves.
