More, more, more

In a world so full of more, more, more, don't let yourself get caught in the undertow. To establish a belief and a set of morals that stem from that belief is important. To get caught in the more, more, more of society is to weaken those morals not just in thought but in deed as well. When we were given the Ten Commandments they were not meant so much as restrictions as they meant peace could be established for all humanity. The ideals and thoughts brought about in the Commandments as well as other writings are there to keep man honest amongst each other while we meander through life trying not to botch it. If we compromise these things by letting ourselves be caught in the undertow of more, more, more we lose sight of keeping our neighbors well being ahead of our own. We stop thinking of the importance of our families and more of what we can have outside of it. Most of all we lose sight of the man upstairs who keeps everything together. Next time you reach that impasse where you want more or "need" more think of others you put out because of it, and if you want to look at it another way everyone you step on going up the ladder will wave at you on your way back down.
