Sometimes, the difference between willingness and unwillingness can be a moment versus a lifetime [of pain, of growth, of freedom versus bondage]! RE: “I don’t know why change in so many areas of my life have come so slowly; even backwards in some instances, or so it seems”.

Sure, we can always take greater measures to ensure our safety, too, ensure profit margins are at their highest. But at some point what does life begin to look like, begin to shrivel down to? Freedom means two things which are often at odds with one another:

1. There will always be a certain amount of risk where freedom is involved. To eliminate that risk is to eliminate our freedoms;

2. That is why it is so important that responsibility and competence, as opposed to recklessness and selfishness, go hand-in-hand with freedom; otherwise, not only will our freedoms be put at risk legitimately; but it opens up a window of opportunity for those seeking advantage (over others among other things)! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷‍♂️

The song “We Are the World”, while intended for all profits to go to the needy in Africa – The bigger message was for all of us to give, to think of our fellow suffering man. HAVE WE?
