I'm not talking about communism exclusively, but any type of collectivism. Money is clearly evil, and if we could get everyone to work for the greater good, then we'd probably all be better off. Would it require people to be assigned to certain jobs and then legally expected to perform those jobs? Would all salaries need to be federally administered (making everyone equal federal employees)? Could family values be worked into the equation, despite what Karl Marx said? How could we make it work?

Why haven't there been thinkers at the level of Socrates in the modern world (i.e. last century or so)? Have we lost the ability to think objectively? For that matter, what happened to the Mozarts? Is modern society beating the geniuses down too early in life?

Once the Holy Spirit has touched your heart, that brief flicker cannot be snuffed. Just keep fueling the fire until it rages. There may come a time you sense a fuel shortage and you are worried. Have you squandered the barrel? All the other fires are soaring and suddenly your stranded. Don’t be afraid! A promise was made! Continually I pray for light hearts and more fervently for those yet to be. I could not have left this unsaid.

but, why is it so hard to adjust with some people- some friends...

I realize there are people who are friends, and yet have to be distant in some situations...but why is it so hard to change roles MYSELF...

I see other people do it, and I can do it even myself- but with a few people, it's so difficult to resist the temptation to be informal...

to know when to take off the robe of friendship, and put of the robe of keeping formal or distanced.

Does anyone know a name for this? A diagnosis?

No generalities please (i.e. fall in love, travel, stay in school)
List specifics please (like start a Roth IRA or set up a 529 savings account for you kid)

Thanks

From a book? Philospher? Famous man/woman?
One that moves you and get's your through, inspires you?
It's okay to have more then one, but don't list to many. Just the ones that TRULY inspire you.

I have been googleing around for a organization with a primary focus to discuss and apply logic. Ever heard of something like that?

What happens when we die? How did we get here? Why does life exist in the first place?

What do you think is the biggest mystery of life?

I think it's a philosophical term where it describes how the world is perfect because there is so much chaos. Or is it a theory? Marxism?

we go to school to be great thinkers. at the same time, we also go to gain knowledge. sure if you're taking a test you can think your way through and pass, but knowledge is helpful as well.

as long as the thought is equal to the knowledge.. which one is better?

It is amazing how far we have come especially in the past 200 years. Yet it is very unfortunate that our choices in life are so poor. Our God given gift of choice allows us the opportunity to do better and be better yet rarely do we take advantage of it. Why do we choose the opposite of what is good for us then complain about it, or blame others as an excuse?

Must it take horrible disasters for us to come together and unite to help one another? Why can't we come together everyday and unite for the better good of humankind?
The simple yet complex answer is CHOICE and the unseen evil that influences humankind each day. Our heart and eyes do not lie to us, but our MIND is like the internet super highway without a firewall, or any real form of protection. Our minds will wonder and sometimes try to convince us that doing the opposite of good and being negative is ok and sometimes sadly we agree. Remember to never give up! Always do your best no matter how hard the road or life can be!

Seems to be that way. Truth seeker investigates and finds the truth. But the world is deceived by an "evil one" (John 8:44). Read about it in,
Is there anybody OUT there? And , INFERENCE subtitled, Life, Love and a Woman's Choice
