In response to Brainwashed. posted by pink101:

I wasn't (still not) sure if you're insinuating that I was born into wealth or if you're suggesting that I am only able to do what I do because of those who built this country? (pioneers, forefathers etc...)

because I accept that I would have nothing without the blood and sweat of those before me.. sure. I don't understand the point though... I mean after all if one man is only 'successful' because of those before me, then what about the poor?
Are they only poor because ofthose before them?

At what point do we stop looking at those things and simply continue with our lives and progress as much as we can. I don't work hard because of any other reasons than: I am physically able, I have hope and I love my family.

I do not know what the future holds but if I am physically able to continue then I will. I believe it is my duty to generate wealth so that I can help accomplish the true ministry of Jesus Christ... to feed the hungry, cloth the poor, heal the sick, minister to the lonely and comfort the widows and orphans.

Oh and I certainly sympathize with the children. Children are typically only a product of what we subject them to. Exceptions exist but generally speaking.
