We don’t know what tomorrow will bring.
So don’t stay mad for too long.

Don’t worry about people who don’t like you.
Enjoy the ones who love you.

Gospel of Thomas (14)
Jesus said to them:
(1)”If you fast, you will bring forth sin for yourselves.
(2) And if you pray, you will be condemned.
(3) And if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits.
(4) And if you go into any land and wander from place to place, (and) if they take you in,
(then) eat what they will set before you. Heal the sick among them!
(5) For what goes into your mouth will not defile you.
Rather, what comes out of your mouth will defile you.”
comparable to Luke 14:26, John 6: 54
