Money management - The core values

I got this from " The simple Living for just giving " . Four themes on wealth Wealth is a blessing: it is good! Wealth must be distributed justly: since it is good, God wants society to be ordered so everybody has a fair chance to have some. Wealth is dangerous: although it is good, it can do serious damage to our spiritual health. Wealth is to be shared with the poor: it is our privilege and responsibility to share with those who have less than us. Four lifestyle commitments: Spend joyfully: Regularly give thanks for the blessing of wealth. Spend justly: Continually analyze our spending patterns in order to consume more justly. Spend less: Simplify our lifestyles by buying less for personal consumption. Give more: Intelligently and compassionately invest a significant portion of our income in the fight against global poverty. Add all this up and you get simple living for just giving.

GOSSIP - Don't we all love it ?

I do ! To hear a little tittle-tattle about people we know . Always entertaining , intriguing - of course I musn't be the subject ! Oscar Wilde once remarked " my own business bores me to death , I prefer other people's " . True to the core , I must say ! And you know what ? This activity actually improves social bonding ! I am not glorifying GOSSIPS though . All said , I am not for the type that spreads dirt + misinformation , the type that spreads like a disease on a rampage till the grain of truth becomes unrecognisable ! Sad to say , there is plenty of it in our local political reports !
