The daughter had not been to the house for over 5 years. Upon her return, her father cursed her out:

“Where have you been all this time, you ingrate! Why didn’t you write us? Not even a line to let us know how you were doing? Why didn’t you call? You little tramp! Don’t you know what you put your Mom through??!!”

The girl, crying: “Sniff, sniff.. dad.. I became a prostitute…”

“WHAT? Out of here, you shameless harlot, sinner! You’re a disgrace to this family! I don’t ever want to see you again!”

“OK, Dad. As you wish. I just came back to give Mom this fur coat and title to a mansion, a savings account certificate of $5 million for my little brother, and for you, Daddy, this gold Rolex, the spanking new BMW that’s parked outside and a lifetime membership to the Country Club.. and an invitation for you all to spend New Years’ Eve, on board my new yacht in the Riviera, and ..

“Now what was it you said you had become?”

Girl, crying again: Sniff, sniff “A prostitute Dad!”

“Oh, Gee! you scared me half to death, girl! I thought you said “A Protestant! Come here and give your old man a hug!”

On the first day God created the dog. God said, “Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. I will give you a life span of twenty years.”

The dog said, “That’s too long to be barking. Give me ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten.” So God agreed.

On the second day God created the monkey. God said, “Entertain people, do monkey tricks, make them laugh. I’ll give you a twenty- year life span.”

The monkey said, “How boring, monkey tricks for twenty years? I don’t think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that’s what I’ll do too, okay?” And God agreed.

On the third day God created the cow. God said, “You must go to the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer. 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. Let me have twenty and I’ll give back the other forty.” And God agreed again.

On the forth day God created man. God said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. I’ll give you twenty years.”

Man said, “What? Only twenty years! Tell you what, I’ll take my twenty, and the forty the cow gave back and the ten the monkey gave back and the ten the dog gave back, that makes eighty, okay?” “Okay,” said God, “You’ve got a deal.”

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.

Spiritual freedom appears to be so hard to attain but this article by Fish @ ThePiscean.Com makes it appear so easy.

Ever had that feeling of being so down? The feeling of looking for someone or something that would somehow miraculously solve all your problem? Ever had that feeling of being empty? alone? sad? Ever had that thought of taking away your own life just to escape the bondages of this life? Well, I had experienced those too and I’m not going to pitch any religion to you. I will not even try to talk about Jesus, or Krishna, or Allah. Rather, I will talk about you.
