Do the fish have anything to worry about?

Godly Humor

the funny side of life

Volume 32

If I have all of the gear, but I cannot bait the hook, the fish have nothing to worry about.

―Craig D. Lounsbrough

Is it a sin to dislike people? It is not by disliking men, even for their sins, that you will save them from their sins.

How to make a wish correctly? When you earnestly wish for something, it is already half obtained.

The successful person does not ask, "Can I do better?" He KNOWS he can. So he phrases the question, "HOW can I do it better?"

The road to success is always under construction.

Does all this love, faithfulness and intelligence die because a dog does precisely what we do, drop our material bodies?

No, no, my friends. You are mistaken, very greatly mistaken. But if my word will not pass, I will try to prove what I have said.

Now, as you know, I am the spirit of Franz Petersilea, and I desired to give my son double proof that a dog has an immortal spirit as well as man, so I made myself invisible to the dog.

When it suits my convenience I walk by the side of my son, invisible to him, but not to the dog.

This I have done again and again that my son may be convinced. 

Whenever I do this, the dog, knowing that I am a spirit and not of earth, shrinks with a low growl and tail between his legs with a peculiar expression of awe in his eyes into his kennel, and turning therein keeps his eyes steadily fixed on me, still growling low and fearfully. 

The dog knows very well that he cannot harm me―he knows that I am a spirit and that he cannot frighten me, but he does not care now to make friends with me, in fact, he makes friends with no stranger.

Now, I put the question to you, one and all, can a creature who has not a spirit see a spirit? Can that which is not spirit perceive that which is spirit?

I will leave this question in the hands of the grey-bearded philosophers of earth. They may try to philosophize themselves away from truth, but it is better to philosophise one's self into truth.
