Go to the hospital for anything and you end up with bills for thousands and thousands of dollars ( pregnancy included).
Mom had a 95,000 bill and medicare paid for all of it. You have to think that there are a lot of people in bed with each other.
People just make rules for others not for themselves. I work on rules for myself and not for rules set by political fanatics, religious zealots and government agencies but instead for personal choices of others. However we have people all over who want to control the personal choices of others even to the extent of telling them how they can vote, where they have to wait in line (because of color or origin) what religious practices they should have, what there views should be, where they can and can not be , how much they have to pay to enjoy the privileges of others, what their health choices should be and what kind of romance practices they should have as adults…. Just to give a few examples.
Hasn't it always been like this? How many Kings and leaders have done this? What examples have they left?
I’m more of the opinion and practice ‘live and let live’. Giving other people choices to make of their own takes control out of the government, religious people and people with controlling impulses and mindsets and puts the responsibility and karmic consequences back on the individual. Every where you see people telling others how to live their lives when they have incredible difficulties living their own lives not finding happiness for themselves. Granted there is always a balance but as much as possible I try not to think of anything as My, Me and Mine and more as Thee, Thou and Others. I’m not here to tell people when an when not to say things and how they can and cannot be said but to share give and serve. Not to Take, Control, Own and tell others how to live their lives.
My whole life is based on the the idea that God has a plan for my life and I need to be aware of that plan and get in tune with it. If I make suggestions for others it is only out of a motive to help and I have been asked by them before. But I have found out lately that others have anger about suggestions even though I never thought I had all the answers and am not infallible about my suggestions. I have found it better in many cases to not even give suggestions when others state their views because they can become intolerable and angry with mine.
God may have a plan for you, but for me, I'm not a puppet. If I were, I wouldn't have choice. So a plan can only go so far as the choices you make.
Maybe some of the issues you describe are all in the delivery. G. Harrison did this. He meant well, but it became preachy. Like, "This is what will happen if you all don't open your eyes to the Lord", instead of, "For me, I think I need to open my eyes to the Lord since I think things might happen to me if I don't".
This site was created so people can express their views freely and learn from the views of others. When people come here that are angry and intolerant of the views of others they completely missed the point of why we are here and why this site was created. We live in a so-called free nation where people have a right to express there opinions. However more and more today we find people do not want to hear the views of others but want others to listen to their views and incorporate them into there own even to the extent of forcing their views on others. Personal suggestions and opinions are not appreciated but are seen as an affront and opinions expressed are expressed violently with no regards for the opinions and views of others.
But aren't you calling the kettle black a bit here?
