My wife. My kids. My siblings. My cousins. My parents. My dog. Coffee. Bourbon. Ice cream. Scrambled eggs. The smell of baking bread. The smell of fresh rain. A walk on a sunny day. Sex. A really satisfying crap. Movies. People watching. A funny joke. A bad joke. Puns. A good story well told. The stars at night. The sound of cicadas. A hawk screeching overhead. The beach. The mountains. A friendly smile. A hug from a friend. A hug from a stranger. Jitters at the start of a marathon. Elation at the end of a marathon. A symphony orchestra. That guy playing guitar at the John Lennon garden in Central Park.

But yes, competent and inspiring leadership is good too.

Cheers to all that and may you experience it all many more times!

Passing the blessing of life that my parents gave to me onto my children.

It's not a lack of leaders that's the issue today, it's a lack of gratitude

Doing God's will.

Why can't God take care of that himself?

Because he's a weird insecure psychopathic man-child.

Don't give him enough gratitude? Eternal suffering. Break one of the weird rules he apparently really cares about (but then allows his most trusted disciples to break)? Eternal suffering. Succumb to the biological drivers that are inherently within us? Yep, more eternal suffering.

I would say you can't make this stuff up, but...

Need to change your definition of God. Try: synonymous with logic and order in the universe and higher consciousness.
