8. Noble Sentiments, Sir, But Poor As Description Or Prediction
Edited on Sun Nov-01-09 03:32 PM by The Magistrate
Those who mourn are often not comforted, but made to suffer more.

The meek do not, repeat not, inherit a damned thing but further exploitation.

Those who hunger and thirst for righteous can expect the bitterest of disappointments in this vale of tears.

The merciful cannot rely on mercy from others, and often receive nothing resembling mercy.

The rest is pure speculation, as it requires the actual existence and coming to pass of such things as Heaven and a Kingdom of God to have any meaning, and there is only bare assertion on which to rest the possibility or actuality of either item.
