I’m beginning to notice that some people in my family are not capable of shielding themselves while out in the world so they hide from it instead in their homes. It is beginning to appear that I am one of those people.

The problem in all Christian marriages isn’t that God stuck us with the wrong person [we ourselves chose poorly, rashly, desperately] but that we’re unwilling to grow together or we in fact digress in many instances. 🤷‍♂️

People do many things they shouldn’t do because they work even though they shouldn’t do. Criminals threatened people to coerce them or to prevent them from doing something. Men treat women to certain way in order to get them into bed. Thieves breaking the houses because there’s valuable stuff in there and in our country having valuable things is looked upon with with great respect and reverence. If humanity were only different a lot of these things would be rendered moot. If certain women would not fall for what certain men do they would no longer do it because they would grow tired of disappointment. If people didn’t react to threats by criminals the criminals would grow tired of disappointment. If we didn’t play such a value on riches in our society people would be less apt to seek them. In other words, if we treated people as valuable based upon the fact that they are simply people rather than what they drive or own and what not, people would not be so compelled to steal because their sense of worth would be met without those things. If women for example, if some of the most sought after women were not impressed by riches but rather by personality than many people would be looking to improve their personality rather than rather than their possessions, their holdings…
