Human Value

Eish I look at people and am constantly amazed at the awesome design. We have so much going for us! What amazes me also is that we use that amazing ability and genius to enrich ourselves at the expense of others. We are busy filling the atmosphere with CO2 emissions and the list goes on. Our mandate to rule over the earth as documented in Gen 1:26 was to rule over creation and creatures like animals, fish and birds. We were not to rule over people as people should rule over their own lives. We should use our skills and abilities to speak up for that which is good. To uncover the hidden treasures in our neighbors and to invest in things that will give our neighbor a boost fwd. We can shape our own future in such a way that we take other along on our way up, not only look at my own future and ambition, but also care for someone else's future. My challenge, think who you can take upward in life with you. Maybe your employees, friend, cleaning lady, etc. By the way, if your cleaning lady still sweeps after some years you have failed in developing her. Let her start by sweeping and end up managing some part of your business or home. It is rewarding...
