And if you stop complaining and asking for what you never will get, you will have a good life. A good life is not measured by any biblical span.

In the sphere of abstract morality this could possibly be said, but this is not Biblical morality - O man, who judgest others!

I guess the greatest cliché we've ever heard, but the most important words spoken, is, love, you know, love your neighbor and, as you would yourself. It's a biblical term, it's important, and it's embraced by every religion and yet it seems to be a far cry from what we're experiencing today.
