The responsible oyster that makes an error in judgement, will not only
become devoured but will also lose his precious pearl.
C.J.MacKechnie
===========================Such is life. Life is with great risk. A person can lose everything when trying to gain the whole world. Which is seen often with the current generation of working people. They risk their family to gain those things of little importance. The human created world system must know it is of the ultimate importance, even greater than God. Those who follow in and pursue the world system must also have an expectancy of those rewards to be received for sacrifices made. Typically those sacrifices are the loss of family, the loss of self, addictions or chemical controls, and a realized loss of purpose or meaning.
