Has Man Any Right To Exist If He Refuses To Serve Society

"Has man any right to exist if he refuses to serve society?" *

"Has man any right to exist if he refuses to serve society?" *

"Has man any right to exist if he refuses to serve society?... Self sacrifice is the law of our age!" *

Does anyone believe this except those that think they're entitled to the sweat of another man's brow?

Does anyone demand sacrifice who believes he'll have to sacrifice?

"Self sacrifice is the law of our age!"* Hasn't this been the cry of every despot, every tyrant, every evangelical hollier than thow cultist? Everyone seeking to enslave! Self sacrifice can never be legislated, it can never be ordered only freely given! Those that would order such behavior are merely avoiding the proper term, slavery!

"You can't turn men into slaves unless you break their spirit..." * Indeed, hasn't the deliberate efforts to destroy our economy merely been to break our spirt?

William, I do believe that we all need to serve, but the choice of who, what, and when needs to be our decision and not someone else,s. One is service and the other as you pointed out is slavery.

George,

I'm a people centric pragmatic who's spent 35 of my 40 years as a consumers fiduciary! I understand service.

As I said: "Self sacrifice can never be legislated, it can never be ordered only freely given!" I think we're in total agreement.

Bonnie, That they are! But, can't that be said most of the time? My concern is we seem to be split into three groups' those that would enslave us, non-thinking haters, and the rest of us. Bill

Bill - the very short answer to your question (too late for that now) is

YES!

Unfortunately, too many today feel that there are some required to serve socieity and others that are entitled to live off of that service.

Hi Love,

It's hard to believe we read it in Jr High. Now days it's an exceptional student that reads, and almost none risk logic.

Mike,

I feel required to serve, but it's from my hart, Some thing I learned from my Parents, Grandparents and some associations I've been blessed with!

Wendy,

I hope so! I was concerned you may have misunderstood. I think we're on the same page, I to would have taken those listings!

There's allot more in this life than cash. The rich man is the one who has enough cash and excess joys not the other way around!
