I'm not greedy. My friends know that. But I'm always wondering, why not just pour tons of money on me instead of these silly, meaningless problems like boils, acnes, palpitations, termites, winged termites, ants, etc.
Hahaha, funny right? Why do these silly things easily pop up in my life and yet the things I fervently pray for do not? Imagine if, instead of these silly things, I'd just be given money I can bless others with? Our small house is dilapidated and looks terribly ugly from the outside, but beggars often drop by to beg alms. We ask them why they don't beg from our neighbors who have big and beautiful houses--with posh cars even. They say we're the only ones who give; the rich don't.
That's why I say, if only money is poured on me I'd be able to help more people in need. How can I help them with boils and acnes and termites?
I often make fun of my problems and make it look funny especially to my wife. I love her so much I don't want her too negatively affected about them. At times we have really good laughs about our problems together with our kids. Laughter does not solve problems but it makes you stronger to face them daily even if they seem to have no solution--at the moment.
And that's the big wonder--why can't other people laugh at their problems so they can feel better after? When I make jokes of my problems some people react like it's sacrilegious or heretic. What? Treat my problems sacred? No way. I even curse silly problems--because they're not welcome in my life. Some problems are there to help you. They promote you.
But other problems, like silly problems, only pester you and they're meant to be shooed off, rebuked out of your life. Like for instance, flu, or colds and cough. They're supposed to be gotten rid of. And you're not supposed to revere them.
Oh, early this morning (2am) while sleeping I had palpitations again. I did too the other day (Dec.9) while watching TV. I and my wife prayed for it and it lasted only 20 minutes, thank God! I just wish palpitations would be thrown far away from me and I don't want anyone in my family getting it, too. And instead of palpitations (and the years it took from me) tons and tons of good money (without trouble) be given me. It's about time.
My pretty wife has a boil under her arm, and she's been complaining of the pain, and I have a boil or acne that's also painful near my genitals (imagine?). We're clean people, we always take baths, and we eat clean food. I don't understand why we have these. It's crazy, crazy painful, but I've mastered the art of ignoring it somewhat. My wife hasn't, and I'm trying to teach her. It's some kind of Zen thing to be able to ignore pain like that.
Oh, and I have a small stupid acne on my left eyebrow, another small one near my nose, and a more stupid one right in the middle of my lower lip. I don't know why. Good that I still look somewhat handsome--some girls look at me as if I were sexy or something.
Haaa!....so, why not just tons of money?
