I gave up soylent green. Because I love it too much.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Senator Barack Obama
Senate Floor Speech on Public Debt

lent should be observed daily and should be routine of our lifestyles.

lent actually does not mean giving up things during a particular period say 40 days

It means you should be truthful and giving so if one has this kinda lifestyle they do not hv to give up anything.. just carry on

cheers

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
