Originally posted by yo its me I would have to say greed. Is it human nature to be greedy? I'm not sure but the fear that our money will be waisted on someones greed holds me back from handing it out.
Greed and power. Giving money to someone who is destitute is only a temporary fix. Give him the skill set to work for his keep will reap greater rewards.
I'm talking about the able bodied not the poor in spirit.
Originally posted by josephw I think you're absolutely right. The ability to dream and think one's way to a better life should be nurtured in all our institutions. Unfortunately there are too many people trapped in circumstances I don't think they can over come without a great deal of effort and help by those of us who have.

too many people trapped, yes, but if they can change their thoughts and attitudes, perhaps they can recognise and accept the effort and helpto which you refer.

This is, for me at least, the most positive thread I've had the pleasure of posting in. Not because I started it, but because I enjoyed it. I liked every ones replies.
Originally posted by DoctorScribbles Even that one about repentance? Come on, that one was kind of contrived, wasn't it?
Well, that one was in the present tense of course. I guess I was looking for what has already been done.
Just think what could happen if the whole nation was to repent of all the wrong that has been done. Think of what it could be like if we all shared a common vision. But sadly we live in the real world.
Originally posted by josephw What do you believe is man's most crowning achievement?
Is it in science, religion, art, music, literature, or something else?
What is it, and why do you think so?
I think I know what I believe, but I want to wait and see if someone else will say it first before I do.
Listening to God and love. Life is temporary, but the afterlife is forever. Regardless of what man invents, creates, builds etc...It means nothing once your gone. Don't get me, it is good to do all those things, and more. But you only get to enjoy them while you live. Once you past on, that to passes from you. So I believe it's where yo spend eternity, that's most important. So without God eternity can be very harsh. So I put no other God before Him, and I try to love my neighbor as I love myself. God bless you all in Jesus name.
