Career or family?

[Digital_Ice]

Matthew (aka levi) the evangelist was a publican and one of jesus' twelve apostles...


...if you ask who Jesus is, i'll slap you.

(oh, and ran. why would confucious quote a christian text? he has enough stuff of his own)

I voted "career", but I'd rather skip straight to the moula without having to do any hard work.
Wait a second...Maybe that comes under "family" since you can marry a rich bastard and have your cake and eat it too.

In New Testament. The Gospel of Matthew, traditionally ascribed to the Apostle Matthew

I don't think any career success is worth much without people to share it with.

Now knowing who Matthew is, I must tell you that when Matthew wrote this , Donald Trump was not born.

This thread isn't about the bible.

Matthew is an evangelist who wrote the life and works of Jesus Christ.

Ok, I know who Matthew is now. And I know what he has written, but I didn't knew that he was called like that. I only knew his name on other languages.

Pretty couples, i would like to share my understanding of the verse.

We must not get ourselves busy for material things but on holy things. It teaches us to balance our life with our material needs as well as spiritual.

I prefer to my family.Because I love them more than all of world.

Difficult. Money won't make you happy. But since love will never come my way. I'd go for career in the end. That way I could still buy what I want and adopt, wich isn't wery cheap. Plus I wouldn't have to worry about loosing baby fat. And I would be bored being at home doing nothing if I wouldn't have a job or career.

when you love - you never get bored,

because our lifes it most complited when we love and because it is one of the best feelings that we have, it is this, what it does to us human beings. Not the money that we have, not the food that we eat, not the clothes that we put.

When I think family, I'm thinking responsibility with kids and finances, not just love warmly embracing a man, his wife, and his children. On that note, I'd prefer a steady career first. If you put Love as an option, I'd think it through more thoroughly.

P.S. you better invite me to your group chat next time

[Leonie]

Yay! Jet is back!

I still stand by my previous statement. Family please.

[meegaan1]

I chose family because your career will one day end, or you'll have many careers. Family is forever, as much as some people don't like it.

Its have name - "a run around". You runed, runed, runed but never can stoped, coz you desire drives you.

If Life its a race, so that it serves to come first up to the end?

...so that it serves to be always unsatisfied and to want something more and more, forgetting often of the people who surrounds us, isolating ourselves with our own egoistic challenges. I know this, and I do not like being like that. I do not lack money, I always have something, because I work (and if it was not working he bores me in one month!). Long ago I was dreaming to open my own business, to be trying always to seem to someone who it it was me who was not. And now the business this one in march, and that? And it turns out that actually it is simply one more headache. And aveces it turns into a nightmare. I am speaking to them neither about an Exemption, nor about a family business, but about a business that we we all have dreamed to open some day.
Because I think that every person has two destinations:
-the bad - tragically, terrifying, dangerously, etc.
-and good - romantically, happily, successfully.
And always, every day, it goes for the line that separates The Good and evil, every moment is an election, when he need doing the next step.
but there is a disadvantage - the line is invisible, but also an advantage - just one second of reasoning, which allows us to see the things as they are, without cloaks of falsity or lies, in a one second, each one is capable of resembling if same that it is the Good and that it is the Evil.
And believing what he cannot see, it does firm step, without fear but with happiness. Because it goes with clean heart and does not take anything to hide. Coz he selected correctly way. Its dificult but better.

...Its as any Face Control in to the entrance of any NC!
