"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, and our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of…. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind."

When I started eighth grade, my parents enrolled my syblings and I in a Catholic Private School. The only reason I was accepted was because of my syblings and my excuse of a possible mental illness. I mention this because had I not, I would have never learned my second most important secret to life.
We had Mass (Church for Catholics) every Wednesday morning, and sometimes "special guests" were invited to preach to the K-8th graders. I'm sure by now you can just TASTE my disdain.
My favorite part of the Mass was the Homily, or more appropriately, Bible Story Time. This was my favorite for one reason only, that it was applicable to Non-Catholics, Agnostics (me), and Atheists. Occasionally I even enjoyed them. Because of this, I grew to even enjoy the whole mass itself.
And every once in a while, maybe five times that year, my favorite Father would join us. As he taught me, so I hope to teach you.
Paraphrasing and summarizing his words, of course, he said:
"When I was around eight or nine, I hung out with a rowdy group of kids. And I mean they were bad, really the wrong kind of crowd. But I liked them, and hung out with them. Because I was a kid! You do that back then, and I'm sure you're doing it now!"
"But when my father noticed, now HE got bad, and banned my from being around with them.
She said no.
Well, I wasn't giving up there, I was a stubborn little guy! Now, what do you do when you're eight and your Mom say no? Well, obviously you go to HER Mom! So, as my last resort, and my only option left, I explained the situation to my grandmother, and begged her to over rule my parents' ruling.""Life is like a whore, it takes your money and then fucks you and you hope you enjoy the ride". My friends and I made this saying as a joke when we were teenagers, but it rings true. I compare life to rape and robbery. It does things you do not like or consent to. It does things to you that you have no power to stop. It sometimes does things that nobody can help you with or cares to help you with. It is also a fact of life that your money WILL go to things you wish it did not have to. That is the dark side of life. It robs you and hurts you. However, it is up to you if you let the pain keep you down or you rise above. "Enjoying the ride" refers to the fact that you know you are powerless to stop life from doing what it wills but you deliberately focus on the good instead.
Why do some people lack common sense?

https://personalitygrowth.com/heres-how-much-common-sense-you-have-based-on-your-personality-type/What is referred to as "God" is simply the uniform underlying energy, it's the basis of what we are made of. God simply is. We relate to that energy as an emotion... love or enlightenment. When we are in tune with that, we feel good, to be at one with our design. I believe this is true for all religions, however, alter emotions become involved and man always has to put his logical mind to work to control "god", and so it goes in many directions.
There’s no reason to fear death itself. It’s the end of a single cycle, ultimately no different than going to sleep at the end of the day. The only difference is, you wake up in a new life or you wake up in your chosen deities domain.
essentially we are no more important than a blade of grass
Sometimes when you have hope, even though you don't have what you want but you have hope, life seems a bit better.
Life is about learning what your good at and sharing that with the world. I just learned that today :) looking around at quotes :)
