Pick her up and pretend you're going to throw her in the pool. She'll scream and fight you, but secretly, she'll love it. Hold her hand while you talk. Hold her hand when you drive. Just hold her hand. Tell her she looks pretty. Look her in the eyes when you talk to her. Protect her. Tell her stupid jokes. Tickle her, even when she says stop. When she starts swearing at you, tell her you love her. Let her fall asleep in your arms. Get her mad, then kiss her. Tease her and let her tease you back. Kiss her on the cheek. Kiss her on the forehead. Just kiss her. Let her wear your clothes. Go slow. Don't push anything. When you fall in love with her, TELL HER.
An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand...
- Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
- Student : Yes, sir.
- Professor : So, you believe in GOD?
- Student : Absolutely, sir.
- Professor : Is GOD good?
- Student : Sure.
- Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
- Student : Yes.
- Professor : My Brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
- (Student was silent)
- Professor : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD Good?
- Student : Yes.
- Professor : Is Satan good?
- Student : No.
- Professor : Where does Satan come from?
- Student : From...GOD...
- Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
- Student : Yes.
- Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
- Student : Yes.
- Professor : So who created evil?
- (Student did not answer)
- Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
- Student : Yes, sir.
- Professor : So, who created them?
- (Student had no answer)
- Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe The World around you. Tell me, son...have you ever feen GOD?
- Student : No, sir.
- Professor : Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
- Student : No, sir.
- Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
- Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
- Professor : Yet you still believe in HIM?
- Student : Yes.
- Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
- Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
- Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the problem Science has.
- Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
- Professor : Yes.
- Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
- Professor : Yes.
- Student : No, sir. There isn't...
- (The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events)
- Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat,
- Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold. We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero
- Which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that.
- There is no such thing as Cold.
- Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
- We cannot Measure Cold.
- Heat is Energy.
- Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.
- (There was pin-drop dilence in the Lecture Theatre)
- Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
- Darkness?
- Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
- Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of
- Something.
- You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light...
- But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its
- Called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is,
- You would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
- Professor : So what is the point you are making, young man?
- Student : Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
- Professor : Flawed? Can you explain how?
- Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. You argue
- There is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are
- Viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.
- Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and
- Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
- To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
- Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
- Death is Not the Opposite of Life, just the Absence of it
- Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from
- a Monkey?
- Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process,
- yes, of course, I do.
- Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?
- (The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
- argument was going)
- Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at
- work and Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavor,
- Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
- Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?
- (The Class was in uproar)
- Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the
- Professor's brain?
- (The Class broke out into laughter)
- Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's
- brain, felt it, touched or smelt it?...
- No one appears to have done so.
- So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable
- Protocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir. With all due respect,
- sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
- (The Room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face
- unfathomable)
- Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
- Student : That is it sir...Exactly!
- The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
- That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
- That student was ALBERT EINSTEIN.
- thankyou.
I think the thing I liked about Lemony Snicket when I was little was that he was not pompous or snide. He was simply describing to me a story, not trying to impart some grand wisdom. (Not that it didn’t, just that it wasn’t the primary goal.) He didn’t expect me to understand everything nor did he pose me as an idiot. He talked to me, not at me.
If you like someone you can't have.

For anyone relevant...
You are beautiful in your own special way and deserve to be treated like a princess every moment of every day. Don’t try to be anyone else, because you are perfect. Don’t listen to anyone saying you need to be skinnier, you need to wear these clothes, just do things your own way and be yourself. Please reblog this around.
“But death doesn’t scare me. To know exactly when I might expect it, up close in my face, would actually be a comfort. Because to tell the truth, most of the time dying seems pretty much like my only means of escape.”
—Ellen Hopkins, Identical (via hidinginthewoods)

One day a woman’s husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn’t “anymore.” No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more “just one…
