An answer for the rich. Start crying, weep for the miseries that are coming to you. Your wealth is all rotting, your clothes are all eaten up by moths. All your gold and your silver are corroding away, and the same corrosion will be your own sentence., and eat into your body. It was a burning fire that you stored up as your treasure for the last days. On earth, you have cheated and slaughter the innocent for your comfort and luxury... but their cries have reached the ears of the Lord God.
James 5:1-6
I looked on my left and turned green with envy, desirous to be one of them; fame, beauty, power and gold, all in snobbish sophistication...until I looked at my right and found scavengers in dumpsters, languishing in hunger and misery. There is no question of direction until I realized that the seething stench emanates from the left. Life on earth is short, but in the after, forever! Guide me my Lord.
