I will be keeping score.<br /><br />I also want to pat you on the back for what you said. What a mockery it is to GOD to loathe yourself for what blessings he allows you, right? But at the same time what an inspiring step it is to see what we can share with others.<br /><br />So what do you sat about "communism" or the idea of spreading the wealth? SPECIFICALLY, is it based in guilt or in gratitude that flows over to others?Shaun Frenzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241230946557305862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101169997528362352.post-66639210760905824132010-09-21T18:10:08.793-06:002010-09-21T18:10:08.793-06:00Jeffrey! I love your outlook. I'm involved wit...Jeffrey! I love your outlook. I'm involved with Students for International Development and am currently taking a class called the International Political Economy of Women, and all the time I am bombarded with disgusting figures of destitution that I want so badly to fix. Your blog reaffirms my goal to not wallow, but use my extremely blessed circumstances to improve those of others. Not zero sum! :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994232843766045206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101169997528362352.post-69382091521624237522010-09-21T00:33:03.317-06:002010-09-21T00:33:03.317-06:00I think we can always do something.

Maybe not much, but something!<br /><br />I also agree that it's very "in" right now to be critical and guilt-trip ourselves in the US and other Western countries for having plenty. But negative emotions don't usually translate into compassion or service. So like you said, feel gratefull and joyful, and then start giving back!NWWhitlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01732722926919916620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101169997528362352.post-77807068108653822922010-09-19T20:49:00.513-06:002010-09-19T20:49:00.513-06:00This is awesome! I love your perspective, Jeffrey!...This is awesome! I love your perspective, Jeffrey! I know that we are put in a position where we can make an influence in the world and change lives! That is awesome about your mission in Africa as well! I love the insight you bring into the topic.<br /><br />I think it was in class, where you brought up the point of first being full, then helping others once one is full. Because everybody is so different, what do you think is the level we need to reach until we can help out people?Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13097751713595415656noreply@blogger.com
