You alone are my own. And to You alone belong houses, buildings, family, relatives, friends, the whole world. I am the doer. Worship the Lord. The reality of the everyday world is not what we think or imagine it to be.
Human nature is changeful and frivolous, and human greed seems to have no limit.
Self-interest is pervasive and human ingratitude endemic. The lips that praise you today may curse you tomorrow. The heart that is full of love now may become full of jealousy later. If you lend money to a friend, you run the risk of losing both money and friend.
