Watch some dumb ants, you lazy bum!

A paraphrase of Proverbs 6:6-11 providing an easy reading, modern language that captures the heart of the obscure message by linking key words with personal experiences.

"Hey you, Couch Potato! Get off your patooka and get outside. You too, nerds and gamers! Go find some ant houses in the dirt. There's no commercials or expenses. Just sit and watch for a while. See how fast they're moving? that's why their not fat. Notice that they always want food? well notice that they store it in the ground for later, and not as fat molecules. Try tossing them a piece of bread or something. In seconds they go after it. Of course there are five ants trying to move it in five different directions, making it a completely counter-productive effort, but at least they try. And if nothing squishes them and their hill, they may survive the winter. So get off the couch, turn off the Playstation, or log off the computer. Get a job and stop making American taxpayers feed you."
