It is human nature to think we are better than others.
It is human nature to claim higher status.
It is human nature to hoard money and possessions.
It is human nature to rationalize privileges.
It is human nature to attack challengers.
It is human nature to kill threats.
History shows humankind returning to these crimes again and again.
But these things are done out of fear.
We will never overcome these problems until we learn to overcome our fears.
And these existential fears can only be overcome by faith.
Faith that the all-powerful Creator of the universe loves us and wishes our well-being.
Faith that our all-loving Father will provide for us.
This is not to say that God showers us with money.
But there will always be enough.
Enough to live.
Then our fears will leave us and we will be free!
Free to give generously to others.
Free to live with less.
Free to give out of humble gratitude.
Free to share.
Free to live.
Free to love.
