Center of the Universe

I am not a scientist. I just wanted to clear that up before we get started so that there is no questions on this fact.

The Hurricanes are coming and the earth is revolving and rotating so we see changes in the seasons, weather, and life in general. Now it is my understanding that when the earth revolves, it is going around the Sun. Just to be safe we can say that the Sun is the center of the Universe, right? Seasons change because The Creator has set His design in the Universe for this rotation, correct? And according to His design everything revolves around the Sun. (Feel Free to insert Christian based analogy here.) Knowing this, why is that so hard to understand? "Come on we understand?" Really??!! If this is such deeply ingrained knowledge then why do we have people talking about themselves every moment. Basically these people are superficial and self-absorbed. Oh they ask about how your day went, but upon the expectation that they get a turn when you are finished. And if you had problems they can always top yours. Sometimes I plainly just don't want to hear about them. Don't you understand that when all you talk about is yourself you are just giving opportunistic people like me ammunition. And we love ammunition, it can be stockpiled, sold, and used to advance our forces at any given moment. Some of you talk so much about yourselves, giving others ammunition, that you would put gun runners out of business. No wonder they didn't find Weapons of Mass destruction in Iraq, they had talked about themselves so much everyone else had the ammo. Isn't it more fun to have conversations that are not centered on you. I mean really, if we are to treat others as better than ourselves, then shouldn't we shut-up and let them talk. There are thousands of people in the world who are labeled as "quiet", but maybe you won't hush about yourself long enough to hear them speak...or they try to speak but get cut off by overbearing windbags. You have heard it before...2 ears, one mouth. "Be quick to listen and slow to speak..."

Moral of this Story: Shut it up.
