Too bad we're not going to the dogs instead of just all to Hell ....
JUST IMAGINE WHAT THE WORLD WOULD BE LIKE ....
If you could start the day without caffeine,
if you could get along without nicotine,
if you could get along without pot, coke, crack, meth and other illegally and/or legally obtained pharmaceutical cop-outs,
if you could always be cheerful, ignoring your aches and pains,
If you could get excited and cheerful when seeing your loved ones after even a small absence, as if it were the very first time you had set eyes upon them in ages,
If your love would not erode with habit and time but always remains steadfastly the same, no matter how little or bad the attention you were getting,
If you could accept verbal and physical abuse without automatic resentment, desire for revenge, and the need to show your inborn physical power and ability to inflict harm,
If you did not need to be proven "right" and others "wrong."
If you could resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you could eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you could understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you could overlook it when your loved ones took it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
If you could take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you could ignore a friend's limited knowledge and never correct him,
If you could resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you could not stand fear-thoughts addressed at you by others, and only relate to love,
If you could only read the intention and heart of another and not his external appearance,
If you could face the world without lies and deceit, always expressing your true feelings,
If you could always jump and get excited at the fragrance, beauty and eternal energy bestowed upon you by the natural world,
If you would give up your life without a moment of doubt and do it in the name of Love,
If you realize that you are here to protect and guard the integrity and security of all your extended family,
If you could easily accept death and dying as a natural cycle of Eternity,
If you could conquer tension without medical help,
If you could relax without liquor,
If you could sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you could honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against race, creed, color, sex, religion, politics or any other useless bullshit ....
Then you would certainly be lifting yourself up toward the level of spiritual development attained by your dog! ....
(And try to remember that you and your kind somehow managed to get to RULE THE PLANET! .... OK?)
