Throw a dog a bone

 Girls make a million excuses to avoid being with the guy who isn't the one they're interested in at that moment.  They keep a bunch of sausages on the backburner most times.  This one girl who I liked said her tonsils were out and she couldn't make it after 3 months of love emojis and this kind of thing. Then it was something else. She said she was in a dating relationship. Only, there was no evidence on IG. Women change their minds all the time and they don't like to be forced to meet someone.  Maybe they just like talking to you on the DM's for an ego boost. One thing's for sure though; If you try to force them to meet they back out quicker than an alleyway cat before a pile of exploding excrement.

Are there any kafkaesque lessons in the bible? (GPT PROMPT)

 Are there any kafkaesque lessons in the bible?

The term "Kafkaesque" typically refers to situations characterized by absurdity, confusion, and bureaucracy, often derived from the works of Franz Kafka, a Czech author known for his surreal and existential stories. While the Bible does not directly contain Kafka's writings or share his specific style, it does contain several narratives and themes that share elements of absurdity, confusion, and existential quandaries. Here are a few examples:

  1. The Tower of Babel: In the book of Genesis, the story of the Tower of Babel portrays a situation where humanity's attempt to build a tower reaching the heavens is thwarted by God. He confuses their languages, leading to their dispersion and the abandonment of their project. This narrative showcases the absurdity of human ambition and the limitations imposed by a higher power.

  2. Job's Suffering: The book of Job explores the story of a righteous man who undergoes immense suffering and loss, seemingly without reason. Job questions the nature of his suffering and seeks answers from God, only to be met with enigmatic responses. The story reflects themes of existential angst, the search for meaning in suffering, and the incomprehensibility of divine purposes.

  3. The Parables of Jesus: Jesus often taught in parables, which are allegorical stories that contain deeper truths. Some of these parables, such as the Parable of the Unjust Judge (Luke 18:1-8) or the Parable of the Persistent Widow (Luke 18:1-8), portray characters facing absurd or unjust circumstances and emphasize the importance of persistence, faith, and the ultimate triumph of justice.

  4. Ecclesiastes: The book of Ecclesiastes, traditionally attributed to King Solomon, grapples with existential questions and explores the futility and vanity of human pursuits. It reflects on the absurdity of life, the transience of all things, and the elusive nature of meaning and purpose.

While these examples may share some characteristics with Kafkaesque literature, it is important to note that the Bible is a religious text with a broader range of themes and intentions. The narratives and teachings within it convey moral, theological, and spiritual messages, often within the framework of a divine plan or purpose.
