Go to CREATING A BEAUTIFUL LIFE
- Add a comment
- Go to "Earning the right to live"
It is such a tragic flaw for many
This need that transforms into devouring greed; destroying our basic goodness...Is it simply a human condition gone into overdrive or is there an element of evil involved...Something I ponder frequently. Excellent, thought provoking post Quirky.

I'm with brisbane_artist
when she talks about lillies. One of my favourite ever songs is Fields of Gold (I like Sting's treatment best) precisely because it is about real beauty that gold and money could never be.

Hmmmmm
That is not the only way of looking at it.
Jesus said "Look at the lillies in the field?"

Quirky, I have to agree with Aria4, making a living is essential to our
survival. Good post, Sweetie.

Quirky-good thought! We are living in a market-driven world. Earning a living is priority if we want to survive.

Quirky
I try to think of what I might be like, were I to have no responsibilities. That is what is real to me.

Maybe we earn living by seeing beyond the trappings of survival.

Odd twist on that phrase.
Do we earn a living or the right to live? Hummmm.

Interesting thought Quirky
I am much to sleepy at the moment to get very philosophical but will have to give this some thought.
