Can’t be bothered

Can’t be bothered, everything is crap, I have my life in my own hands. The son who left his father to find his way in the world probably also said something similar. What was the end of the story?

He came back because he himself wrecked everything. As long as he had money from his father, everything was well and he had friends, but only as long as the money lasted to enjoy life.

Money gone – friends gone. At some point he realised that a life living on the fat of the land, running from one party to the next, always with a different girlfriend, was no longer fulfilling. The „alleged" friends were living from his costs.

Is that everything that he dreamed of from life?

God does not tell us how to live our life. At the end of the day, you can decide what you want to make of your life. However if you notice that you are not managing your life alone, you are allowed to return to god. He will not turn his back on you. This is a nice story which gives us hope.
