This document explores the many facets of life through a series of rhetorical questions. It asks if life is solely about things like helping others, love, adventure, nature, friendship, peace, family, individuality, truth, and nostalgia. However, it concludes that life is not about any one of these things alone, but is rather "a brilliant mixture of it all".
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.

Life's A Brilliant Mixture Of It All
1. LIFE’S A BRILLIANT MIXTURE OF IT ALL
Is life solely about benevolently donating each passionately eclectic instant of yours;
to every tangible and intangibly hapless fragment of deteriorating living kind?
Is life solely about fervently loving someone so much; that brand new definitions of
love were immortally embedded once again in every perceivably suspended ingredient
—of the invincible atmosphere?
Is life solely about fantasizing beyond the realms of the ordinary; plunging deeper and
deeper each zipping second; into an unfathomable gorge of inscrutably uncanny
excitement?
Is life solely about inexhaustibly admiring every single of the Omniscient Lord's
infinite creations; transforming into the truest poet at the tiniest insinuation of
blossoming nature divine?
Is life solely about befriending everyone around you irrespective of caste; creed;
religion or tribe; and irrespective of whether it was the worst of your enemy
pugnaciously staring down the whites of your eyes?
Is life solely about titillating the obscurest bud of taste in your tongue; with the most
inimitable cuisines directly from the lap of mother nature; for a countless hours in a
day?
Is life solely about indefatigably sermonizing the ideals of symbiotically peaceful
existence; which you'd yourself imbibed in each ingredient of your blood; as you'd
unflinchingly traversed through every of its lane?
Is life solely about burying your face unimaginably deep into the bosom of your
sacred mother; and then feeling the most unconquerable man alive—in the cold-
blooded face of even the ghastliest of death?
Is life solely about living out even the most bizarre of your whims and eccentricities
to the fullest; walking on your self created cloud nine all the time; as long as it didn't
the tiniest hurt any living kind?
Is life solely about triumphantly breathing in the spirit of unassailable humanity; and
unsparingly beheading even the most obfuscated trace of the devil; to amorphously
feckless chowder?
Is life solely about incessantly singing hymns of beauty; perpetuating even the most
robotically dilapidated cranny of the atmosphere; with the freshness of miraculously
blessing creation?
2. Is life solely about sizzling each unfurling second in the flames of adventure;
precariously teetering on the edge of space; yet feeling the adrenalin rush towards the
ultimate summits of paradise?
Is life solely about earnestly saluting each act of altruistic kindness; falling in due
obeisance only in the feet of immortal love; as it spread like a magicians wand in each
poignant heartbeat alike?
Is life solely about looking forward to the optimistic rays of tomorrow; untiringly
rising everytime you hopelessly flounder into nothingness and fall; to become the
eternal scent of a new dawn?
Is life solely about timelessly finding your very own inimitably priceless identity
amidst a pack of satanically pouncing wolves; challenging the tyrannical norms of
destiny to chart the pathway of your own dreams?
Is life solely about irrefutably saying no to even the most diminutive insinuation of
dreaded lies; torching the mortuaries of lackadaisicalness forever with the
Omnipresent flame of truth?
Is life solely about developing relationships more insuperably thicker than those of
the 'blood'; where the tide of humanitarian compassion and friendship beautifully
transcended over one and all?
Is life solely about reliving those impeccably golden moments of the exuberant past;
transiting back into those fresh cries of birth—where the whole world for once
became—a cradle of magnificent togetherness?
No. It never was 'solely'; but life's an emphatically brilliant mixture of it all.
