Yes I feel that I had paid my dues!. I put my needs and desires on hold to become a stay at home mom for the past 7 years!. I have taken classes on line over the course of 2 years!. Now that she is older and goes to school full time my need to be at home all day is no longer there!. I am finding out!.!.!.even though I have the knowledge and the capability do well at a job, but my lack of work experience is kicking me in the a$$!. I feel that I am being punished because I decided to raise my child instead of a daycare!. ( I did and still do work on the weekends so it is not like I have been out of the work force the entire time!.) Not fair I tell ya, not fair!Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you are referring to the good deeds we do for our planet and our fellow man there is no due by date for doing good deeds!.We should not expect anything in return for doing good for our fellow man!.It is our duty to take care of one another!.Why do we always expect to be paid for everything we do!.Isn't it really the overwhelming joy we feel in our hearts when somebody is better off for something we have done for them reward enough!.!.!.the planet and its inhabitants deserves our help!.If you want to receive rewards for working for your fellow man ,get a job at Mcdonalds!.If you want to receive a reward for your good deeds then you will have to wait for enlightenment !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, every time I drink with Morpheus I feel all my energy I've invested into educating him to be some what philosophical!. I hope for the day when he can surprise me with some philosophical depth!. A new angle, a new understanding, some interesting original thought in philosophy I had not seen before!. Yet sadly that philosophical account is long past due!. To bad there's no philosophy court that I could file with to force him to declare philosophical bankruptcy!.

However, since his understanding of wine is superior to mine I'll tolerate his inferior understanding of philosophy!. We all have burdens in this life and I'll be glad to guide him out of his philosophical blindness!. That way I can give meaning to his wine soaked mind!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
