At Current Rates Of Use World Could Run Out Of Thoughts And Prayers By As Early As 2019
By Paul Duncan on February 15, 2018
USA-CHINA/CLIMATEA worldwide shortage of thoughts and prayers may leave us with no choice but to actually do something by as early as January 2019, researchers are warning, after a recent study revealed the popular refrain is now fueling 93% of government inaction globally. And we are running out.
Dr. Tim Freely, a leading expert in thinking and praying, and author of the book Act Now Or Forever Wring Your Hands, explains:
“The trouble is that back in the 50’s, when they first started using this phrase as a catch-all for ‘I’m not motivated to actually do something here but feel obligated to open and close my mouth in some fashion or other,’ politicians and community leaders had no idea how much they’d be relying on this platitude by the time the 21st century rolled around. And now we’re just plain running out. Of thoughts. Of prayers. And of patience.”
Oh and,

We didn't study this really closely in the catholic schools, but I seem to remember that heaven would always supply us more when we ran low.
Compassion and empathy on the other hand - once it's gone it's gone.
These theological questions are sooooo complicated.
