Shakespeare....I have often used his work to make many a point. He gets around too as he covers quite a bit of different subject matter. Here is an interesting and relevant subject to consider. My point for this post is one of his quotes having to do with our personal economy. When it came to borrowing money or lending it, William Shakespeare said it best.
GO WILLIAM........
Neither a borrower nor a lender be;
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man
WHAT IT MEANS TODAY
So, what do we do? We borrow it, lend it out, it causes divorce, bankruptcy, brings about lies, deceit, and false hopes and dreams because we don't do it correctly. Now, the interpretation of anything is subjective, so I leave room for other readers thoughts and feelings here. This does get the life juices flowing yes?
ANOTHER QUOTE HAS ITS WAY
Remember that it is not money that is the root of all evil...It is the love of money. I grew up hearing the first part of this quote which is probably why I grew up poor. If I only had heard the whole thing, I could have easily not loved it (money) and then went and got as much of it as I pleased. Eventually I did LOL
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PROVERBS
Keep falsehood and lies far from me;
give me neither poverty nor riches,
but give me only my daily bread.
Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you
and say, ‘Who is the LORD?’
Or I may become poor and steal,
and so dishonor the name of my God.
THE PRAYER OF ENOUGH
This is where I stand considering that we are passing through and nothing can be taken out of this world except our character. There is no end to want unless we put an end to it. I am grateful to be here and to be here with you. It is sufficient unto itself. I have enough. Each one must find the truth of these simple words....
MORE FOOD for the SOUL......A PSALM
Here is a sure thing for those who are not sure how to proceed. Seek the right way or righteousness in all you do as you travel, negotiate, and explore and you will be just fine. This was shared by someone who lived long and understood life and was given insight. That person shares ...
"I was young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken or their children begging bread".
HEY YOU...reading this now
Realize that long ago, in our history, our like kind was living just like you, same feelings, wants, desires, troubles & all the rest & took the time via writing to add & complement our journeys. Truth whether personal or eternal is ageless. While we get it handed down in writing, these brave souls also shared breath to breath too
BOOK of RICHIE (your name here)
Don't you see that it is YOUR turn now to not only share but leave behind a bit of who you are/were & what you believed. In the clear terms, it is called transparency, sharing, exchanging, dialog, conversation & exchange. It is effortless as we were designed & created to do this. You never know how much you impact someone unless you come forward & be heard, seen & identified.
WORTHINESS?
Anything that is alive has achieved worthiness but virtue of existence. All seen & unseen, known & unknown remain marvels & mysteries calling out in every way they can saying: here I am, look at me, behold & enjoy for I am doing the same
live...live...LIVE
Haven't you heard? Do you not know? It's your turn!
Every living creature gets an invitation to live. My fellow mankind R.S.V.P.
