People really never change. Vice and virtue remain the 2 poles of our lives. We are moving towards one end or the other. Today most seem to be seeking wealth not God.
I always thought that, a good way to make millions was to write a book telling people how they can make millions. People buy it, making you millions. Not so much those who bought it. G.K. Chesterton, the Apostle of Common Sense.
the wicked boasts of his heart's desire; He blesses the greedy and renounces the Lord. The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek God; God is in none of his thoughts. His ways are always prospering; Your judgments are far above, out of his sight; Lord, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
Call anyone a failure in success-worshiping America and you are calling that person a social leper. You get utter shock and repudiation. We who are "successful" in this society have ears, minds, and hearts of asses.

The man was ahead of his time and is still teaching us to this day. I would have enjoyed a talk with him.
He was ahead of his time because his wisdom was outside of time.
G.K. Chesterton-the apostle of common sense. And a very humble man.
Always found GK much more enjoyable to digest with a good orator. Love the reader .. I imagine him reading it to us .

Capitalism has made money our religion.
Pride has made money a lot of people's religion.
