@TheKouk So I gather you do NOT have any debt Stephen. Good to know. But many of us do have a debt and it is prudent to get rid of any debt so you can have a better life. Do you not agree?
Two brothers had lived peacefully on neighboring farms for nearly forty years. They loved each other, helped one another, and had always been close. But one day, they quarreled - their first serious disagreement in all those years.
It began with a small misunderstanding, but soon grew into a bitter argument filled with angry and hurtful words. After that, the brothers did not speak to each other for months.
One morning, someone knocked on the older brother’s door. When he opened it, he saw a carpenter standing there with a toolbox in his hand.
“I’m looking for work,” the carpenter said. “Perhaps there’s something here on your farm that I could do for you?”
“Yes,” replied the older brother. “I know exactly what you can do. Do you see that house on the other side of the stream? That belongs to my neighbor - actually, to my younger brother.
“A few months ago, there was nothing but a meadow between our farms. Then he dug a channel, diverted the river, and now there is a stream separating us. He did it just to spite me, but I’m going to show him...
“Do you see those trees beside the barn? I want you to build me a fence two meters high. I don’t want to see him or his house ever again.”
The carpenter nodded.
“I understand. Just give me the materials, and I’ll make sure the job is done well.”
The older brother went into town, brought back everything the carpenter needed, and then left to work in the fields.
The carpenter worked all day...
When the older brother returned at dusk, the carpenter had finished his work and was resting.
But the brother could hardly believe his eyes.
There was no fence at all.
Instead, the carpenter had built a bridge across the stream.
It was a beautiful bridge. And on the other side, the older brother saw his younger brother walking toward him with his arms wide open.
“You truly are a good man,” the younger brother said, “to build a bridge after everything I said and did to you.”
For a moment, the two brothers stood at opposite ends of the bridge, looking at each other in silence.
Then they began walking toward one another.
They met in the middle of the bridge and embraced.
As they stood there, they noticed the carpenter picking up his toolbox and preparing to leave.
“Hey, wait!” called the older brother. “Stay with us for a few more days. There are still so many things you could build for us.”
The carpenter smiled.
“I would be very happy to stay, and thank you,” he said. “But I still have many more bridges to build...”
Make of this what you will….🙏👊😎
@Kate3015 why not look also at the virus system to eliminate cancers that is being trialled in the USA? Then we can go with growing body parts inside pigs to replace organs that have been destroyed due to cancer.
@daisymay4263@Freddy717263 Hang were not some passports obtained easily for some ISIS females? If they can get them, AND NOT GOING TO AN EMBASSY why not these women who CAN get to an embassy or high commission?
@daisymay4263 If they are Pakistani then they are NOT Australians as we don't have to help them.
Maybe they need to stop following a religion that teaching total obedience to men first of all.
@RoadknightThe I am worried about the over 200 other mobs that want their naming on the building. Do they take it in turns. Everyone get a day. Oh and don't forget ALL the other RACES. And here I was thinking we are just ONE country. How silly I am.
@smskcntr Darn. Thought you might have and had space for Lox breeding as well. For a house build have you ever married a 26 degree roof with a 45 at the right angle? No matter how I try with the corner pieces it never fits :(
@chiselchip Love you Valheim. Just wondering if you have ever done a build of a meadows house that is a: on the coast b: has area for crops c: has space for boars and wolves d: has smelters and e: is made from material that is only available up to dark forest level.
@piersmorgan Piers a phobic is unrealised fear is ii not? So tell me a country that has gotten Islam in and had it take over the country that is better off for ALL the people
@TMFScottP Just finished the book. My idea to replace dollar-cost averaging is
