Re: My Sad Day



GREAT post!!!!

We loved smoking. But it was based on lies.

The lies were:
1)we loved it.
2) We enjoyed it.
3) We looked cool.
4) It was harmless.

We enjoyed it, but it really was not good for us.
So we got rid of it, despite being addicted to it.
There were not many things we could replace smoking with, and we felt
some emptiness and resentment.

However, there are..how many now..7 Billion people?
The half that is our preferred sex is 3.5 billion.
Let's reject 99.9% of them.
That leaves 3,500,000 candidates.
Let's reject 90% of that, just for distance issues.
There are 350,000 applicants for the position.
Let's reject 90% of that Just Because...
35,000 waiting to hear from you.

You did the hard thing, you quit one self-destructive habit already. This one only FEELS like it is killing you.
