Blessed Be the Assholes
Blessings are confusing. The human to human blessings are cut and dry. One person gives, does something for, or assists another with no expectation of reimbursement. What I can't understand is the blessings associated with higher powers. The criteria to earn such a blessing from a god(s) seems totally back-ass-wards. I mean, shouldn't blessings be given to those most in need or most deserving? This doesn't seem to be a required factor in the blesser towards the blessed. Call me cynical, but from what I can see, people who don't need or deserve blessings appear to be lavished with these godly bonuses, while the deserving, innocent, and needy more often than not, go without.
Please note, I don't equate blessings as material or monetary in every instance. However, if you have money, a situation that would ruin the life of an average person is a minor inconvenience. So, money doesn't buy happiness, but it does keep away many of the things that can make life difficult.
One only need look at the likes of Elon Musk or Donald Trump to see my point. These two individuals were born into extreme wealth, given every advantage, and are complete dicks. However, everything they touch seems to turn to gold. Let me explain.
Elon Musk once said that ending world hunger would cost 6 billion dollars and he promised to provide the 6 billion. The World Food Program has yet to see a dime of that promised cash. Pay up Elon! I've seen your net worth (225.5 billion) and 6 billion dollars is chump change to you! You promised the money you Eddie Munster looking fuck! Now let me ask, has karma bent Elon over fucked him dry because he failed to fulfill his promise? Nope. The blessings keep rolling in. Even his business failures don't faze him.
Now as to Donald Trump, the fucker was born into money and received every perk of the wealthy. He dodged the draft, daddy most likely bought his college degree, he bankrupted multiple companies, cheated on every wife he had, and has been caught in THOUSANDS of lies. Still, the fuck stick won the presidency Of course, Donald is facing some serious legal heat now on multiple fronts and has already been identified as a sexual predator, and guilty of fraud. Has it affected his second presidential run? As of now, nope. Many evangelicals still use their religion as knee pads while giving Trump an ideological blowjob and many conservative politicians continue to turn a blind eye to his stupidity to gain his approval. Even after being outed as a slime ball and facing jail time, he still leads in the polls! My guess is that if Trump is found guilty (he's also been caught intimidating witnesses and court officials) he will get off with a legal love tap on the wrist.
Let me ask, do either Musk or Trump deserve what they have? Given the opportunity to use what they have been given, have they made significant contributions to humanity? I'd have to say no. So, I'm not sure why whatever entity that controls things continues to bless the likes of Mr. Musk and Mr. Trump. Merit doesn't seem to be much of a factor.
Now, this is hardly a new phenomena with god(s). In the Bible, King David had one of his soldiers killed so he could fuck the soldier's wife. Despite this horrible act, David didn't lose his blessed status, he remained king, and continued to enjoy the perks as one of God's favorites. Anther example? How about Lott who offered his virgin daughters to a rape gang to protect angels that likely didn't need protection. He was blessed by being allowed to escape Sodom before god went all Old Testament on the city. Yet another example, Abraham was willing to forgo the sacred role as protector to his child and was willing to sacrifice his son because God told him to. God pulled a, "Oh, you don't actually have to do that. Your son can live. I was just testing you" just before Abraham buried the knife in his son's chest. Abraham was then named the father of many generations. How the flippity, five dollar hand-job fuck were these three despicable men worthy of blessings?
Okay, so who deserves blessings? That is easy. Anyone who does their best to be decent human beings, but still go without, those who have devoted their lives to serving others, and of course those who are incapable of true malice, children. Sadly, the blessings are few and far between for these deserving individuals.
A big example that comes to mind is Ryan White. Ryan was a 13 year old boy who had hemophilia and as a result occasionally needed blood transfusions. Unfortunately, during one such transfusion, he was given blood containing HIV. At the time Ryan contracted HIV and AIDS it was considered a death sentence. Still, Ryan and his mom became advocates for AIDS research, treatment, and ending the stigma associated with the disease. They ended up with very famous allies such as Elton John, John Mellencamp, and even Princess Diana. Didn't Ryan deserve a blessing? He contracted a disease he did nothing to deserve and then set out to help others who also suffered from the disease? Apparently not because Ryan died a month before he graduated high school. Wasn't god(s) paying attention? Or did Ryan's net worth fail to meet the thresh hold needed to qualify for a blessing.
On a personal note, I regularly receive babies on my caseload that were born exposed to drugs courtesy of CPS. Many of these babies suffer through painful, torturous withdrawal from whatever poisons mom exposed her unborn child to. I have never witnessed a newborn in withdrawal (Thank whatever deity has arranged that), but I have read medical reports. Babies in withdrawal find touch painful, they don't sleep, they often refuse to eat, and they suffer the same pain as an adult trying to kick opiates, meth, and alcohol. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THESE LITTLE ONES DON"T DESERVE THE BLESSING OF BEING PROTECTED FROM THE SHIT MOM IS PUTTING IN HER BODY? Anyone? Any deity out there with a good answer?
Now I've heard that people who die or suffer through disease, sickness, and mental, physical or psychological abuse are allowed to suffer so that those around them can learn and develop faith and compassion. WHAT THE FLIPPITY FUCK? That makes zero fucking sense! I'm all for learning by example, but this is taking things way too far! I don't know about anyone else, but I don't need to watch someone suffering from stage 4 cancer to understand that they're hurting, scared, and deserving of compassion. I can also have faith that cancer can be treated and hope that a cure is found. So, cancel the fucking lesson, we get it! We don't need to watch pain and suffering in real time to understand it. Bless the sick and dying so that they can be healed or if that's not possible, let them die a quiet, painless death surrounded by family and friends (who again don't need an example to understand that their loved one is hurting, scared, and deserving of human compassion).
In short, whoever's in charge of blessings in the universe needs to seriously rethink things. Maybe there needs to be a blessing merit system. Something like five good deeds equals a blessing that gives a couple the ability and stamina to fuck multiple times in a short amount of time the chance they get to experience the sweaty-sticky-naughty. I don't know, but what I do know is that there are a lot of blessed dick heads and not enough blessed innocents.
