Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Well context makes all the difference...now in my mind I see you as a brilliant deep thinker...
I would probably agree that there is a certain bondage or entrapment to riches and often a price to pay...perhaps that is why Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter heaven...
I do believe your thoughts have merit...there is much to be said for simplicity...it has always been the love of money that is the curse so money does have the ability to change us.
I think when you take excess money away you have to survive by your own wits and that is when the true essence of a man kicks in...to provide for self and family....and therein lies our satisfaction in life...that we can achieve this most basic goal...utilizing our own self-determination...
Of course, God promises to supply all our NEEDS according to His riches in glory...in the west the distinction between wants and needs has become very blurred...
well you certainly did challenge my thinking with that one...it was just funny to see you...out of the blue thinking about cows...haha...God bless you and yours and have a great day...
