Well if you missed it, there was another cruise ship fight. This one, a few weeks ago in the Galveston port terminal got 24 people banned for life from Carnival.
I sometimes wonder, "what were they thinking?"
So I was reading an article about the fight and it was talking about the ways that you can get on the permanent no sail list. Here they are:
1. Drinking too much. Duh.2. Bringing controlled substances onto the boat.
3. Complaining too much.
4. Ignoring the safety protocols.
5. And of course, fighting.
The one that I found interesting was "complaining too much." Lord, it is about time. We humans need to learn that the world is not about me. The world has no obligation to align itself to make me happy. Every moment that we spend complaining, is a moment lost forever to doing and being the good. In other words, every 5 minutes that we spend complaining is 5 minutes that we could have spent loving others. That 5 minutes is lost forever.
Complaining is not helpful. Let us just live, love and as REO Speedwagon said, "roll with the changes."
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
