It's Finally Friday! Yeah! TGIF! But What Does That Mean? (O.o)

When I was a kid I remember seeing a Coca-Cola commercial on television. The young girl is sitting at her desk in a work suit – white blouse, black skirt, black jacket – wearing eyeglasses, sitting at her desk in front of a typewriter typing away, hair fastened into a neat tight bun – looking ever so proficient. Somebody indicates to her that the work day is over and she goes:

"Yeah! And it's Friday!"

After the exclamation, the young lady pushes back the chair on wheels from her desk, takes off her eyeglasses, yanks at the back of her head to let her hair loose and shake it! Next scene is her strolling along in some area (looked like a beach ~ can't remember), dressed casually in her blue jeans, still wearing a white blouse, but drinking a bottle of Coca-Cola.

My late sister was watching that commercial with me and says, in her most boring monotone voice: “So that's what Friday means?”

My late sister. Always one for being super enthusiastic and excited! (Not.)


* First of all, does anybody even remember that commercial?


* Secondly, what does Friday mean to you?

• Do you get to take yet another selfie and post it on Instagram?
• Do you leave work to rush home and order a pizza and watch movies all night?
• Do you go out partying and clubbing with your friends?

For me? I get to go to the grocery store in the afternoon. In the evening, might watch a Bollywood movie or a Korean historical drama series. Will probably keep working on my laptop, while being entertained, trying to earn a few more pennies. Then go to sleep.

Yeah! But it's Friday!! 

And I'm doing the happy dance anyway! ☺

Religion and Philosophy: Questions and Answers: TO LIE OR NOT TO LIE

This question was asked in a forum. 

TO LIE OR NOT TO LIE

by ebanreb » 

Sometimes we are in a situation where we are confronted with so many problems which lead to a point to make a decision whether to lie or not to lie.

* * *

This was my response.

A lie is willful and deliberate intent to deceive. That's how someone explained or defined a LIE to me. They told me to use that as my guide. Another guide that I use? Jesus called Satan the father of lies. “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.”   (John 8:44) I don't know much, but I do know if there is deception or deceit involved in something you're doing, then it's not good. If it's not good then it must be bad or evil. Also, I don't like the idea of being one of Satan's children. So the answer is NO.

* * *

A lie is even far more grave and serious than a fairy tale like Pinocchio would lead you to believe. I appreciated the question as it gave me a chance for some and serious thought and reflection.

How would you have answered this question?
