Posted by somebody with ears to hear on Jun 24, 2003 at 4:16 PM POWER , this is what it’s about people chase power without knowing what is love .I ‘m glad your nature still tell you to acknowledge the existence of God.
Regarding the story I ‘ll let you know something you already know but from today you are going to look at this from a different perspective and if you take your time to think about your whole life will change.
DEMOCRACY
You gave me a meaning of democracy and I’m going attempt another route of defining the relevance and where Democracy is leading us. Democracy has been used globally by people seeking power or people already in power. When a person coats his political speech with the democratic element he manages to maintain the support and potential support but the only disadvantage of democracy is that it has automatically agreed to meet the needs of the future it is so evidential in this world that all these needs are against the values of a human being ,WHY do you think this is so .God’s existence can be seen in nature. Don’t you think that the hunger for power is pulling the world to worst pithell.
All a person need is love and love to grow because love does not rejoice with evil.Hunger for power turns us to slaves Galatians 5 verse 1 has the answer
I come from a place withvery violent history Richmond, KwaZulu Natal province in South Africa the only way I escaped the power struggle of the powereless was when I received Jesus as the PERSONAL SAVIOUR and the master power distributer.
Take care
