Health - the Greatest of Wealth
Ignorance and fanaticism are forever hungry and need feeding. Clarence Darrow, American Lawyer
The worst kind of poverty is the poverty of the mind. On the other hand, the greatest of wealth is health; especially mental health. There is nothing more precious in this world than enlightenment
of the human mind to develop with the freedom of thought under the power of knowledge.
To me, as a Filipino unbeliever, I say that the poorest people are those who faithfully believe that they are the intelligent masters of religion. On the contrary, I say, they are the frightened victims of the sick mess. Far more tragic than those who are jobless, hopeless, and homeless is the greatest of tragedy in the Philippines: those who are mindless and heartless; specially as they are the senseless products of the sick system under Catholic education in the Philippines. Poch Suzara, Filipino Unbeliever

To me, as a Filipino follower of Jesus Christ, I think the poorest people in this world are those who admit that what they value have no intrinsic value. Evolution has programmed them to project value on certain things. But that's just an illusion. They value love. They value their parents, kids, spouses, and friends. Yet there's nothing objectively right or good about loving friends and family. That's just brain chemistry. The indifferent effect of a thoughtless process conditioning them to feel that way.
Ken, I am an proud and a happy atheist. Atheism today is a worldwide
movement that has no followers. We atheists are all leaders of our own destiny. Poch Suzara
Poch, if you are a true leader of your destiny, why do you sound like the Philippines is a basket case, hopeless and destitute? All you seem to do is whine and complain about others. You need to exude joy. Only Jesus can give you true joy, wonderful joy. You don't want to be remembered as a cranky, crabby and contrary old man. You seem to see the world around you from a proctologist's point of view. But then, if that's what makes you happy, what can I say?
Ken,
"What can I say?" you already said too many words. It doesn't mean that you can speak is that you have to speak or it is highly deserving of reason.
