This is good Knowledge posted by Mr Edmore, It is inspiring, but is inspiration enough for some people out there, even though they WORK HARD, they cannot hold their destiny in their own hands, Take for example a white farmer who has been ploughing throughout the ploughing season, just before he can harvest, he is kicked off his farm? They say ' you rip what you sow', do you honestly think for all the hard work he deserves this? Or even an African investor who has worked very hard for years and years to get his business up, only for him to pay hefty taxes back into the government's pocket. One thing we all know but don't admit is that Life simply is not fair! IS THERE ANYONE OUT THERE WHO CAN SAY, LIFE IS GREAT? saying that wouldn't be clever, but i know most will say Life is hard. Wat about for the lonely child in the streets, where is he going to get the opportunity to do what he dreams, what about the orphans or perhaps the disabled will they get much leverage for them to be successful? WHAT IS SUCCESS anyway? you can look at it from different points, Spiritual, Social, Financial , etc. I fear for the young generation, most will forever chase after the Financial Success, yet they ignore the most essential of all, SPIRITUAL SUCCESS, for this is the only entity that one can have for ETERNITY. However it is earth nature that some to work hard and rip few and for some to work the least and rip more. There is no time for failure in this day and age, when you try to get back up again someone also wants that which you are trying to get back at. LETS ALL JUST TRY TO BE SPIRITUALLY SUCCESSFUL and ALL WILL FALL IN PLACE THANX MR ED, Brilliant post.
