The greed is too much for me to handle. I know how you feel. I refuse to lie though.My ethics I feel have been one big factor in keeping me poor.I have been told I need to master that dubious skill of lying, especially when doing readings for folks.I will not do that.Sure, I'd be rolling in dough if I did,but no, I just cannot stoop that low.And also my view of;Do not seek wealth from the dire needs and sufferings of others"I just cannot exploit folks in need or suffering.I wish I had answers to your hardships, but have no clear ones for myself either.{{{hugs}}}Just keep talking here please.

Trials gives a proof to of the soundness of our mind body and soul.Afflictions bring about two things-1.They try the truth behind your faith by making temtations appear to be true.2.It produces patience which is an excellent virtue.In times of trial it is not passion but patience which delivers us of our tribulations.The more trials you overcome the more you rise strong.Worldly wealth or vanity is a Whithering thing.Only in making ourselves humble to grace and overcoming trials can we seek eternal happiness and not through perishing enjoyments.starfoxCarl, millions of people feel like you do.They're all tired of the corruption & sickness.you're not alone LEXXCarl {{{hugs}}}teasel NickiGjoin the club carl i dont like anything dishonest and will almost literally cut people out of my life for such things....its heartbreaking, but if i keep dishonesty around me it corruptsi wish people would just realize the kind of hurt they cause other people...even for the small stuffand in response to your thread title...i often tell people i'm from pluto ------------------I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in historylalitreekeep the faith, no matter what. there are a few of us, but we are in this together. and we have something that people who choose to be like that don't; personal peace of mind. there's nothing worth more than thatlalitree quote:Originally posted by NickiG:join the club carl i dont like anything dishonest and will almost literally cut people out of my life for such things....its heartbreaking, but if i keep dishonesty around me it corruptsi know how painful and hard this is, NickiG. i do the same. i'm pretty much a loner now, lol, but you know what? i have found actual peace this way.

Totally!
Things will look up. You'll see.
that was so special to read.
Carl, i struggled with that too. i had been very very naive. but i'm learning that i can wise up and still follow my principle of honesty. still learning.
you're not alone
i dont like anything dishonest and will almost literally cut people out of my life for such things....its heartbreaking, but if i keep dishonesty around me it corrupts
i wish people would just realize the kind of hurt they cause other people...even for the small stuff
and in response to your thread title...i often tell people i'm from pluto
------------------I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?
when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history
there are a few of us, but we are in this together.
and we have something that people who choose to be like that don't; personal peace of mind.
there's nothing worth more than that
