I have decided life is the most upside-down thing I've ever seen.

If you think you are somebody, you're really a nobody.

You can't get away from being a nobody until you realize you're not a somebody. ONLY when you realize you are a nobody, then God can start making you a somebody.

But if you realize you are a somebody and you get some pride about it, you're back to being a nobody again. You can only be a somebody when you ignore the fact that you are a somebody.

This seems contradictory, paradoxical and frustrating, but I have never seen it work any other way. This is just the way life works.
In a similar vein, I have noticed people only think they know a lot when they don't know a lot. The more you know, the more you realize just how much there is to know and how little you will ever be able to know. It's a safe bet that people who think they know everything don't know a thing at all. People who really do know a lot know they don't know much at all.

I'm not sure if this is some kind of building code sick joke or what, but.... public restrooms should ALWAYS be pull to open and PUSH TO LEAVE. Not the other way around. Especially in theaters. My shoulder is better with germs than my hands. So's my butt. My forehead for that matter.

Incredibly, Robert E. Howard's fictional account of the Thurian Age, cataclysm and Hyborian Age are eerily similar to what actually has happened.

BTW the Richat structure, or the Eye of the Sahara is almost certainly Atlantis. Yes....it is real and of the former age. Strabo indicates the usual date of about 12,500 BC for its demise.....along with the Giza and other megalithic highly advanced civilizations.

I assume this cataclysm to be the Tower of Babel judgment/disaster.

(1) The beginning of wisdom is to know what you don't know. So Christian childlikeness means maintaining a beginner's mind.
(2) When you look within to see how much faith you have, you puncture a hole in your soul, and all the faith leaks out.
so when plagued by doubt, don't introspect; boldy act on the assumption you have all the faith you need.

Now for 2 silly profound thoughts:
(3) Truth keeps marching on--until it gets tired feet!
(4) The guy who just returned from a vacation is usually the guy who looks like he needs one.

Have to confess; I wanted to put a laugh emoji on this one; but I was conflicted... Because - well his laugh looks a little sinister... Almost like is he laughing at some poor idiots bad charma; or did he just torch his rival neighbors car? lol

Yeah, some people do vacation all wrong. Vacation is a time to rest a lot, take long naps, take it easy. They put so much energy into vacation that they wear themselves out.
