You know the old slogan, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.” It is a very noble concept. If it was talking about weeds in your yard it might be useful but people don’t tend to do their best or be content with just their needs on a regular basis.
They need to revise that to something like, “From each according to his mood, to each according to his desires.” I will concede that there are a lot of hard working, disciplined young people out there. My children are a delight and reason for hope but I also know there is a vast wasteland of woke that has an attitude of entitlement. And they are not content with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. They are not even willing to accept ground beef. They want Fleming’s or Ruth’s Chris with all the trimmings. And they don’t feel they need to tip. Peasants are meant to serve them.
I remember how the graffiti artists would always pick the cleanest book or wall to write on. They did not want their art compromised by the doodles of the less talented.
We need a new phrase for free enterprise. Perhaps something along the lines of, “From each as his best productivity and to each what they earn.” A lot of people would be going hungry with that. Of course, a lot of people have gone hungry with the commie slogan too.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Comments are welcome. Feel free to agree or disagree but keep it clean, courteous and short. I heard some shorthand on a podcast: TLDR, Too long, didn't read.
