No, not that putting them together in a headline will result in something so interesting that you'll click to read it.

The three types are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Believing in the power of God.<\/li>\n
  2. Believing in the power of God.<\/li>\n
  3. Believing in the power of meaninglessness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Believe the same:<\/p>\n

    Anything bad that happens is God's doing. And that's why you shouldn't fret, cry and otherwise kill yourself by raising cortisol and adrenaline levels in your body - you should spit and focus on what is good.<\/p>\n

    Some fucker ran into your car and fled the scene? <\/strong>
    \nWhatever you do, God is great - he knows what is better.<\/p>\n

    You were going to give a concert for your friends in a beautiful park, but it started raining?<\/strong>
    \nGod is merciful - he has only protected you from something worse.<\/p>\n

    Someone stood in front of you in the queue for the supermarket checkout?<\/strong>
    \nWell, that's life - you wouldn't have saved much time anyway.<\/p>\n

    Did he leave you?<\/strong>
    \nNo big deal, you'll get on with your life.<\/p>\n

    Your work has been destroyed?<\/strong>
    \nNo big deal, you'll try again.<\/p>\n

    Did you get yelled at and leave?<\/strong>
    \nNo big deal, you don't have to explain yourself to everyone.<\/p>\n

    You don't have to take everything personally.<\/h2>\n

    If something bad happens, it doesn't mean it's because of you. And even if you're told it's because of you, it doesn't mean it's because of you.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes things happen.<\/p>\n

    Just.<\/p>\n

    Id. Cursed. Life.<\/p>\n

    Things happen and you didn't even think they could happen!<\/p>\n

    You don't always have to be ready.<\/h2>\n

    Because you can't do it.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes it starts raining because somewhere, 2 kilometres above you, the water droplet daddy loved the water droplet mummy very much and... Well, things happen.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes, on the way to the shop to buy spring ice cream, you puncture a tyre with a random bolt.<\/p>\n

    Sometimes you even go on a date without realising that your mouth stinks of onions and hell knows what.<\/p>\n

    Could you have foreseen this?<\/p>\n

    If you're clairvoyant, of course. If you're sane, not so much.<\/p>\n

    You don't have to cry when something bad happens.<\/h2>\n

    Because life doesn't care what happens to you.
    \nBecause Gods don't care what happens to you.
    \nTo be honest, I don't give a damn either.<\/p>\n

    Why do you care so much about something bad?<\/p>\n

    Do you really believe that being married will make things better? That if you go to a friend for comfort and tell them \"Well, yes, they're all bad\", the world will change?<\/p>\n

    Damn it.<\/p>\n

    The world is underwater. Why is it not for you?<\/h2>\n

    Reading the writings of Roman politician and philosopher Marcus Aurelius from antiquity, one can find observations about things one cannot predict.<\/p>\n

    If you read the Old Testament, you will find the same thing. Sometimes God gets a creep and decides to wipe everyone out, or burn down a city or two.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you read many other ancient texts, you will find the same damn thing.<\/p>\n

    Life is meaningless.
    \nYou are just dust.
    \nNo one cares about your future.
    \nNothing will change, even if you do a lot.
    \nWe will all die anyway.<\/p>\n

    So why don't you focus on what is more important?<\/p>\n

    You, on the other hand, can rejoice.<\/h2>\n

    Rejoice because you are alive. Rejoice because you are. Rejoice because you can still rejoice.<\/p>\n

    And it doesn't matter what kind of God you believe in - God, God or God.
    \nLet Gods be Gods.
    \nLet them do things.<\/p>\n

    And you live.<\/p>\n

    Because you can.<\/p>\n

    Everything will be fine. And it is when you look at the positive.<\/p>\n
