So just an FYI to all you pompus assholes berating anyone who believes something different than you. By the way, I'm cool with people not believing in God or that God created all we know and hold true...I'm not saying they will go to hell or anything I just try to live MY life and be nice and affect people in a positive way in everyday life.
Sir Isaac Newton said, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done."

Sorry about that fenster, maybe I wasn't clear enough. It's not the connection between the scissors and the robbery per se, but more of the connection between a failed business venture where I lost money and the robbery where of course I also lost money. But I have to say that the connection is a subtle one, though it is still a solid one. Let me enumerate each of them one by one:
1) It was the first time I used that grease I got from the boat. If I had used that routinely, then it would've meant nothing much.
2) It was the first time I greased the scissors, which lay hanging on one of the racks in our kitchen for couple of years, even though I didn't need to, as they were only spare ones.
3) There is a connection between the grease, which came from the boat on which I lost some money, and the scissors, which was in the kitchen from where the thieves broke in. So symbolically, the grease served as sort of a relay torch or baton from one money-losing event to another. [Did you see the connection.]
4) The greasing of the scissors came within 24hrs of the robbery.
5) The amount of the money stolen was almost exactly the same amount I paid for the boat.
Lastly, both are very significant events in life as normally, we ordinary folks hardly loss money on either business or robbery. The fact is that these extremely rare events in one’s life were somehow connected (ok, to repeat again, by that damn grease!).
Hope that was clear enough.

Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
