What a sad lot some of you are. No conscience and proud of it.
Others seem to twist a bit and try to explain things away. Maybe you do have a conscience that you are struggling to live with.
There are a few that seem to understand where I am coming from.
I do not claim to be a saint and I am certainly not rich, but I do know what makes me be at ease with my self. One day something happened that made me very proud. I was with a friend in a port and it was a beautiful day that we had off, and we had gone to a market and I had just picked up some things for people back home.
My friend had been looking but he hadn't got anything. I asked if he was going to get something before we left. He said no, that he was going to be short that month. I said to go ahead and pick something out for his family, and I would loan him the money.
He said that he didn't want to do that, because when I loaned money, I never asked for it back or reminded people that they owed it. I insisted and he borrowed a little to get something for his child.
Money can't buy that kind of good feeling.
A lot of you are missing out on the pleasure of being generous.
