When people say that life is a gift i imagine the gift being a disguised bomb

[LastDayOnEarth]

It's the only explanation

Absolutely! It's a Trojan Horse!

Not all gifts are good.

 

[davidtorez]

If it were a gift we could it give it away easily
. If we cant give it away freely and stuck with it then its no longer a gift but a burden !

Not all gifts are good.

Nice to see you posting here again :)

"parents are a gift from god" aswell…… god is an asshole

 

[polm]

Spot on. The bomb has gone off big time I will give it …back there's devastation,

 

[Namelesa]

at least with a disguised bomb I would be dead and things would end but with the life I have been given I just have to suffer hehehe.

 

[Hollowman]

If it was a gift I'd be able to return it.

 

[dearlydeparted44]

Then I'm returning this gift. "Life is a gift" is said out of either privilege or naivete. No sane person would look at a situation like this... where one has to actually PAY to just exist... and call it a gift. That's like someone taking out student loans in your name and telling you to be thankful for it. Life is a situation of chance, at best.

 

[Darkover]

life is a slaughterhouse for the vast majority of its inhabitants

 

[LigottiIsRight]

If life is a gift, why are we denied of a proper return policy? :(

ב''ה, you know the first word in Hebrew

 

[sizzurp]

ב''ה, you know the first word in Hebrew

"monday" ._.

Imagine somebody gifting you a phone contract that you are unable to cancel, you getting incarcerated if you try to cancel, gets more expensive and burdensome the more months you are the contract, the bonuses of free ringtones and wallpapers will never outweigh the unavoidable rising costs of the contract, the conditions of the contract can change at any time, costs can change at any time, you have no control as catastrophies of the company can cause conditions to change, etc. (I lost confidence in my analogy so I will stop here)

 

[Forever Sleep]

What was the last 'gift' you had to pay for yourself for 50-60 years?

 

[notreallybored]

"monday" ._.

ב''ה, "In the beginning" (maybe more like 'to begin') often transliterated as bereishit. Be re: I shit if I have to explain the joke to you a*******s. (See also bear shit, as California ran with, etc.)

Actually it begins on a Sunday what with the confusion of calendars.

ב''ה, even Moshe could only look upon G-d from behind, as to see His face would be to die. Literally the only view anyone ever got was His, ahem, posterior.

This probably has some stuff to do with how the sefirot are sketched out and considered although that probably came later. It also gets used heavily in Church idolatry where they put up their idol of the dead guy (interestingly riffing on the episode with the metal snake I didn't know was in Torah for years) and say looking at the statue's face 'kills the Jew [desire to implement the Law] in you,' then they hand out more imaginary corpse blood and corpse cookies so everyone has to do it again (and since the wine isn't kosher it creates more evil every Pesach).

Supernatural Superserious.

Happy second day of Shavuot y'all, unless you're in Israel and then you're back to work already. Also the 'backside' thing may originally gesture at facing the Ark where the law gets stored, and perhaps some forgotten or mysterious celestial navigation stuff although G-d specifically says G-d Himself is not that, at least for Jews don't go off confused worshipping objects even celestial ones.

 

[failed life]

I feel like I'm in some twisted episode of Black Mirror. Sometimes I try and think of the rest of my life as a gift and think of others who've passed much younger than me, who didn't get that. Unfortunately the 'gift' was wasted on the wrong person. If there is a God s/he sure is a twisted f*** for making us all suffer so much.

 

[GeorgeEastman]

They lucked into being stupid enough to think this is good. It sucks bad and can only be good with a cancer diagnosis so I can move to Oregon and get some seconal.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

Life is a like a bomb that blows half your face and skin off ur body but leaves you alive for years like that . at least a bomb will probably kill you rapidly . life however is prolonged suffering sometimes extreme suffering

 

[Ligottian]

Life is a heavy interest loan taken out in you name without your consent. All of your sufferings are payments. The capital is cleared when you die.

 

[wormbrained]

it's a gift wrapped in barbed wire and its also on fire and its also full of poison and also its a thermonuclear bomb and it also hates you
