We had lacked the perspective to see that character-building and spiritual values had to come first, and that material satisfactions were not the purpose of living.
Ya know..... I know that intuitively, I know it in my heart and I pretty-much do a good job at living it (by my standards...lol)...........right up until I lose one of my material possessions or when I see something I want that I can't have. How quickly all that can go RIGHT out the window as I have a quaint little temper-tantrum in my head. Thankfully they aren't as bad as they used to be and they don't last NEARLY as long as they used to!!!
Anyone have some "Fast Acting Defect-Remover" pills???
