Pray all you want \u2013 heaven can\u2019t hear you. It\u2019s not going to stop the winter because you are cold, and it\u2019s not going to make the earth smaller because you don\u2019t want to walk so far. You pray for rain and it rains, but your prayer has nothing to do with it. Sometimes you don\u2019t pray and it rains anyway. What do you say then? If you act wisely, good things tend to happen. Act like fool and bad things tend to happen. Don\u2019t thank or curse heaven \u2013 it\u2019s just the natural result of your own actions. If you want to have a better life, educate yourself and think carefully about the consequences of your actions.<\/p>\n
