God helps those who help themselves A writer once said that amidst our various problems, we ask why God is not doing anything. In other words, God helps those who help themselves. Sins of omission can be fatal One way or another, we have to help those in need.
People generally perceive government employees as dishonest, as corrupt.
The basis for this is their experience in transacting business with some government offices where hardly any thing moves unless money changes hands. This is true from top to bottom, the only difference being the amount. When a corrupt official is caught, he is blamed by his fellows not for the evil he did but for being caught. We learn to be humble. We also develop a positive outlook not only about God but also about ourselves, others, and society.
