Prompt: What does it mean to have it all? Write about this in your Blog entry today. ===== Frankly, I think only God has it all. We all have a bit, or more, or in abundance. Then, even when we have something more or in abundance, something else either goes haywire or breaks or falls away. So, we cannot have it all. It would be fantastic if some of us, while trying to have a lot of that "having it all," thought of things more like: being a less self-centered person who is of service to others, performing random acts of kindness, and comforting people in pain like my wonderful nurse-friends do. Then, some people are quite happy with their lot in life. If so, why reach for something more? Then, "more" wouldn't be enough over time, either, because we people get tired of what we already own, anyway. Not everyone and not really astute people, though. When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes of Sinope, and offered to fulfill any one wish Diogenes desired, Diogenes replied, "Stand out of my light." It is tough to be a Diogenes, however, isn't it! As to the phrase itself, I think someone sang a song or made up one. Nice, upbeat lyrics, too! But I thought, when this songwriter wants someone else to have it all, there's some element of selfishness or serving his own needs lurking in his words. Worse yet, Heaven forbid, what if he meant, "I want you to dethrone God and sit in His place?" Wouldn't that make God real angry? I wonder. Here is the song, copied from the internet: Have It All Jason Mraz Have It All (Lyrics) [Verse 1] May you have auspiciousness and causes of success May you have the confidence to always do your best May you take no effort in your being generous Sharing what you can, nothing more nothing less May you know the meaning of the word happiness May you always lead from the beating in your chest May you be treated like an esteemed guest May you get to rest, may you catch your breath [Pre-Chorus] And may the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows And may the road less paved be the road that you follow [Chorus] Well here's to the hearts that you're gonna break Here's to the lives that you're gonna change Here's to the infinite possible ways to love you I want you to have it Here's to the good times we're gonna have You don’t need money, you got a free pass Here's to the fact that I'll be sad without you I want you to have it all [Post-Chorus] Oh! I want you to have it all I want you to have it I want you to have it all This internet is the hub of all comedy. Don't you think! |
