And you are certainly right, no one can worry about mind pursuits on an empty belly. <br /><br />For many, many years now, though, the U.S. has had programs to try to help those who are hungry. There is a lot of debate about how successful those programs are, as well as a lot of debate about whether people are hungry in this country because of circumstances they can't control or because they are too lazy to work. As is true everywhere, there are no easy answers.Gaia Gardener:https://www.blogger.com/profile/00692281131036600613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-75353976242547018362012-07-25T19:06:03.192-07:002012-07-25T19:06:03.192-07:00I was late here, just been to the latest post.

I guess there is no such thing as "someone got it all". It depends on endless things. But at this, you said 'ripe age', am realizing a lot of things! One is, that one cannot continue his earnest mind pursuits with an empty tummy. I guess you will not be able to relate to this because you live in an affluent society, or privileged society let's say. If one is privileged in our society, he/she will not be able to continue what he personally wants to have it 'all' because he/she will see the conditions in the vicinity that will affect his total self and thinking. Oh i dont know if i made sense here!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05848957958059476177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24376388.post-80941383844012202792012-07-24T14:47:55.562-07:002012-07-24T14:47:55.562-07:00Oh, and I'm almost always up for a good discus...Oh, and I'm almost always up for a good discussion!

Not really the bastion of open minded thinking. <br />We could have some wonderful discussions.

As I get older and wiser. .and as my walk with God, it's easy to see that it is all a matter of where you put your faith. .I know, without a doubt. .that my relationship with the Lord is ALL I need. .my eternity is certain. .and so in my eyes. .I have it ALL!! My life is perfect, but it is eternal!! <br />As for society tearing each other apart. .that's TRUE ON. .because we, as a society are getting more selfish by the minute. .Selfishness is the root of the problems. .until we learn to serve and take care of each other like we want to serve and take care of ourselves. .the problem will continue to spiral downward until our society has self-destructed!!

To others how thei4 children turnout. You can go on and on. Many have to strive for success, others are given a leg up to begin with. Etiher way doesn't make it wrong or right. To have it all? hmmm....greggohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10490422976382424491noreply@blogger.com
