Human life is not a "commodity" and human dignity is not a "convenience". We must remind ourselves that we are more than the sum of our belongings.
It brings me much dismay to see the way people sell themselves cheaply nowadays. Girls exchanging modesty and dignity for a few moments of popularity and fame, men defiling their self esteem and tarnishing their honour for the sake of a few extra bucks.
Irresponsible behaviour has become the norm in our Society. We are watching the corruption of our children and applauding it. We are decaying into sodomy and animalism and relishing in it. We are killing our unborn hopes and revelling in their blood. We are all of us responsible for our own downfall.
It is time we strive to bring conscience back to our midst. It is time we teach our children to bear themselves honourably and with dignity so that they may set an example worth following for our grandchildren.
I don't own the truth, but I do borrow it from time to time! Here you are invited to duel in words and to provide contestation to my reflections.
The Deep Thinker
Deepthinker's Wisdoms
I. All one does has consequences; take responsibility for your actions and seek good consequences. II. All that is good for you isn't necessarily good for everyone, but all that is good for everyone is also good for you. III. Good begets good. If you desire good things, than practice good things onto others. IV. Happiness isn't a birthright, but an objective to be achieved through wisdom and hard work. V. Having something isn't as important as being someone, for no one can take away what you are. VI. Be truthful to yourself, and as a consequence never be false to others. VII. Every lie begets another. VIII. Never exchange the eternal for the ephemeral and never choose lust over love. IX. Honour and character are gifts a man gives himself, so that they are left as an enduring heritage to his offspring. X. It is better to be hated for your honest views than to be false. XI. No matter the pressure, ultimately the decision is always yours. XII. Greed is the greatest evil of our day. It is in greed's name that all of mankind's atrocities are perpetrated and it is in greed that all enduring harm begins. XIII. When the law is written by the unworthy, Legality isn't congruent with Morality. XIV. Don't ever be ashamed to serve. Contrary to popular belief, humble service onto others is what dignifies a man. XV. The Catholic Church isn't a franchise, my religion isn't a product and the Pope is not God's ombudsman. Though "customer satisfaction" is desirable, we do not place our values on sale to acquire market share, we do not customise precepts and we do not recognise "direct competition". If you do not like our policies, you are welcome to contact the CEO directly.
