A “mouse” was put at the top of a jar filled with grains. He was so happy to find so much food around him that no longer he felt the need to run around searching for food and now he could happily live his life. After a few days of enjoying the grains, he reached the bottom of the jar. Now he was trapped and he couldn't get out of it. He now has to solely depend upon someone to put grains in the same jar for him to survive.
He also may not get the grain of his choice and he cannot choose either. Here are a few lessons to learn from this:
1) Short term pleasures can lead to long-term traps (living on benefits/furlough/spoilt by parents perhaps?).
2) If things are coming easy and you are getting comfortable, you are getting trapped into dependency.
3) When you are not using your skills, you will lose more than your skills. You lose your CHOICES and FREEDOM.
4) Freedom does not come easy but can be lost very quickly.
NOTHING comes easily in life and if it comes easily, maybe it is not worth it..

Roses are a gimmick? They are handsome, but also pricks!
You do know you are answering yourself, don't you?

Actually someone wrote (maybe Rainman or Tex) that ''his shit doesn't stank' beneath my post and has been deleted. I replied to that. It may be the pain meds also. It's a toss up.

I don't know if it was you but I thought it was you or Tex. I may be wrong but someone put "My shit doesn't stank" or something like that. Maybe I imagined it. Bull does have something though, I carry on conversations with myself when I get pissed. It seems to help.🤠Originally posted by rainman View PostMighty Mouse u mean my post r being deleted here now 😮

- You know that thing in your head that tells you not to say things?........ Yea, I don't have one
Where your post says like roses as my dad used to say if you look in upper right corner there is a drop down box I guess to keep pages from getting too full. If you hit the up arrow it goes to the first comment and my shit don’t stank is still there. Not deleted
