This Bud's For You

"You can’t spell Buddha without 'bud'."
It’s hard to describe how excited The Chemical Buddha was when he came to this realization. It was as if the universe was confirming he was on the right path. For a brief period of time he started calling him self The Chemical Bud-ha. But everyone just thought he had a speech impediment and made fun of him. So he resorted to just telling this insight to everyone. He even went so far as to put it on his business cards. (Which he mostly put in fishbowls at restaurants to try and win a free meal. But he couldn't even manage to do that. Even if his card was the only one in the fish bowl.) There are no known reports on what he thought the universe was trying to tell him when that happened.
Do you believe in destiny?
If so, do you try to find things to justify what happened or what you did?
How do you think you got to where you are in your life?
Was it by accident? Was it planned? Or was it some combination of both?

God is my Sugar Daddy

“God wants me to be rich.”
When The Chemical Buddha looked around, he figured God liked some people more than others. Because how else could you explain all the God fearing people who made their money off the backs of others? As far as TCB knew (he wasn’t anything close to a biblical scholar but he did take several Bibles from motel rooms to use as rolling papers) the Bible didn’t mention anything about the virtues of material wealth. In fact, it seemed like all the rich people in the Bible were punished. He figured God must have changed his mind on that one when he saw that when the rich tithed 10% he got some plush houses of worship. So, although he didn’t believe in God, he starting praying God would make him rich.
Do you think God wants and doesn’t want you to have certain things? If so, what?
If you don’t control your own destiny, who do you think does? If you control it, what do you need to do to get what you want?
