On Rule of Government

God did grant Man free will that Man could choose to create law and government, and then follow it, even in detriment of doctrine. We've been doing it ever since. God also gave Man a conscience, that we could choose to follow Him in spite of what governments tell you is good for you. That one we've been neglecting lately. Bottom line is: if a law goes against your conscience it is your DUTY - religious, civil and democratic - to contest it.

OWN Less to LIVE more.

Have you stopped to smell the roses lately? Have you? If you have, you are among the dwindling few, who takes time away from business, problem-solving and money-making to enjoy a moment in life. We are pressed by markets, competition, the economy and our bosses and peers to be like that. We are promised that things have to be like that. Do they? At the end of the day, some of us have the money to buy a nice house filled with cool gadgets and the services attached to them, and maybe even a cabin or a house by the beach, a yatch and a nice car, but do we have the time to enjoy all this? Some of us have riches to pay for gadgets, trips and private schooling for our children, but have no time to be with them and teach them what we know of life. Most of us don't realise that this is ultimately a choice. More and more, people are committed to the materialistic ideal and the ethics of profit, but this is an artificial paradigm of our own making. It isn't even very old. Our grandparents didn't live like that. They weren’t both obligated to work full time just to keep the ball rolling. Granted they didn’t have all the gadgets we have nowadays, but they had time in their hands. Time to enjoy a meal with their families. Time to enjoy their families. Think about it. Make your decision. Our time on Earth is limited. Should we really waste it all earning a living so we can buy more stuff? Decide to own less so you can LIVE more.
