ORIGINAL: mnottertail Now, you can say it serves god and mammon, and couch it like that, but the point of it is, the rich have not got a giving heart, because their possessions mean more to them than the selfless helping of people in mean or dire circumstance. Well that's the theological form; because to love God is to love your fellow man (Matthew 25:40-45). In truth, nobody has a loving heart whose possessions mean more to them than helping someone in dire circumstances. And unfortunately, we all tend to become attached to what we consider to be "ours". The more we have, the more there is to be attached to. But the less we have, the more attached we tend to be to what precious little we do have. Hence... Blessed are the poor in spirit... ~Matthew 5:3 K.
