I like your tags.

Maybe we do have things in common.

As I approach 60-years of age, I dare not to claim wisdom or superiority over anyone else, but I’ve experienced a common theme among ALL people.

Everyone has a very strong bent toward self.

Imagine 7 billion people with differing opinions, all bent towards “Self.” Do you think democracy (all opinions are equally appropriate) is with way to optimize a society?

I thank God that after creating this wonder-filled universe, He also gave instruction. But even more important, after we (mankind) totally tilted the game, He personally came to set the example for us and departed by paying the bill on our selfishness.

His gift is available only to those who accept it.
