Accept what is...Quit wishing for what ain't

Life??

On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit

all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or

walks past. For this I will give you a life span of

twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to

be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you

back the other ten?" So God agreed.


On the second day, God created the monkey and said,

"Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For

this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The

monkey said, "Do tricks for twenty years.....that's a

long time to perform. How about I give you back ten

like the Dog did?" And God agreed.



On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You

must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer

under the sun, have calves and give milk to support

the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life

span of sixty years ." The cow said, "That's kind of

a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How

about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?" And

God agreed again.



On the fourth day, God created man and said, "Eat,

sleep, play, marry, and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you

twenty years." But man said, "Only twenty years?

Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the

cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the

ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."


So---that is why the first twenty years we eat,

sleep, play and enjoy ourselves.

For the next forty years we slave in the sun to

support our family.


For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to

entertain the grandchildren.


And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch

and bark at everyone.


Life has now been explained to you.


A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.
