The have and have nots are on full display during times of strife and economic down turns.
Moral outrage and feelings of unfairness rises to high levels.
Kids think the messages of getting ahead by lying, copying, cheating, stealing and kowtowing to bullies the way to go.
Instead of developing and forming leaders of innovation and visionaries of peace, love and prosperity, the mindsets devolved into bottom feeders and cockroach-like mentalities of theft, uncouth, uncivilized and unholy behaviors.
But what is the point of getting ahead in the rat race, in the temporal life, in getting to the have, but becoming the have not in love and peace, in holy and enlightened, in honor and decency, in the substantive practices of salvation?
How you express of what you have in life are determinants of your character and what you will have in grace (or disgrace); the same goes for what you have not, how you endure and overcome tragedies, how you remain true to yourself and the Lord.
The have and have nots of character are on full display during times of strife and economic down turns and throughout (temporal) life; your expressions ( of love, empathy, grace, kindness or not) will determine your eternal life.
