Man is born greedy. Greed is a sin that, in order to live together in peace, must be bred out of man.
Dr. Benjamin Spock bears a monolithic amount of blame for his championship of permissiveness. The schools have hung on his every word, thus we now have the “me” society. Greed and selfishness, both innate sins, have grown unarrested to bring us to where we are today.
The only proven rules to raise a child is based on the truths contained in the Holy Bbible. Because the schools and legislators have prohibited the Holy Bible in schools and in Congress, God is permitting evil to prevail in our land.
True. We are born greedy but stupid.
Greed is a sin that, in order to live together in peace, must be bred out of man.
Impossible to breed it out. Greed is part of our inate nature (And for the survival of the species, must be so). The problem arises when self interest becomes shortsighted.
permissiveness. The schools have hung on his every word, thus we now have the “me” society. Greed and selfishness, both innate sins, have grown unarrested to bring us to where we are today.
The problem is not permissiveness (although that is a problem unto itself) the problem is the culture of instant gratification. People before were just as greedy, just as selfish, just as self-interested, but they practiced delayed gratification to work for, and receive, what they wanted in due time.
The only proven rules to raise a child is based on the truths contained in the Holy Bbible.
True. And why do we do the things the bible tell sus to do? Because it's in our own best interest to do so. IF we follow Christ, and seek to do His will, and love Him with all our heart, our lives will be the best they can be here on this earth (regradless of our circumstances) and we will spend eternity with Him in heaven. The bible is the handbook for living a truly successful life.
So, as I said originally, greed is good if you are intelligent about it. What most folk call "greed" I call stupidity as the practitioners of it gain in the short term but lose it all in the long term. I am greedy for the long term.
Because the schools and legislators have prohibited the Holy Bible in schools and in Congress, God is permitting evil to prevail in our land.
True.
