Thoughts on How We Treat One Another

When a person dies, where does all the knowledge, energy, love, fear, jealousy, and emotions go? To heaven, hell, or reincarnation. Does anyone else wonder about mankind other than myself? I am sure they do, but you wouldn't believe it when war, murder, slander, and prejudice are the ways with which we treat one another.

Just think if children could be granted two loving parents that get along, by example giving compassion and strength to one another, men to love woman for themselves instead of comparing their wives or girlfriends to centerfolds in girly magazines. For women to adore men despite their short-comings is not an easy task, and of course vice versa. How better this world would be were women respected for their qualities as individuals and not to be viewed by other women as threats toward their own gender. After all, it is up to us to say "No" when temptation comes our way in a package called a "handsome married man." Breaking up the family unit is a terrible thing that hurts children and degrades men and women morally, economically, and emotionally.

If, as a human race, we were supportive of one another in all respects, helping instead of tearing a relationship apart, maybe only then when virtuosity applies can we expect mankind to move closer to the perfection which God intended.

It is sorrowful to note that at the nighest level of our government we have an illustration of the failure of such standards. Although a person can be strong in many respects and at the same time be weak, God forgives all in the end. Repentance is the key.
