In your very first point you ...Brilliant as always. In your very first point you define "Altruism." If you know anyone in public safety, they take that first point and place it in practice... in overdrive gear. When there are no results from our altruistic efforts, some develop neurosis (building a castle in the clouds) and get very nervous and angry when the world does not match the castle. Gone further, it can result in psychosis (living in that castle) which means the individual will take action to force the world to match the self-built castle. At the basis of this, we simply ignore God's will and begin to follow our assumption of what His will is (your second point). As always, even in my lay person side of things, I find your writing spot on to the realities around us. Amen and Amen.Lee Turpenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837202591353631997noreply@blogger.com
