And let me add, that since I wasn't taught properly early in life, that everyone else should come before me, I'm in this hole I can't dig myself out of. It's too late for me, and I just can't expect anyone else to fix it. It's gonna take me until death to fix it, and if it isn't fixed, society will pay for the church's erroneous doctrines. I can't only say, at this junction, return to the Bible. It's the only thing you can trust to tell you the truth.

bennyblack1,

You profess to be a Christian but you would be the first person to call Jesus a deadbeat!! Have you ever wondered why God came back as someone poor instead of someone rich?

The more you talk, the more of what you think sounds crazy. Wake up, smell the coffee, and look around you. If you knew me, you would know that I'm a struggling Christian that would be the first to tell you that I'm "not all that." I would also be the first to tell you Christian principles about borrowing and loaning money. I would also be the first to tell you that God expects his people to plan, work the plan, and finish the plan. He also expects them to know when the plan will fail, and bail. I will be the first to tell you that you DO NOT invest in something that is unprofitable, you DO NOT borrow what you cannot pay back, you DO NOT loan money to people you know will not pay you back. You DO NOT give away money if you cannot pay your own bills and feed yourself after you have given. You simply take care of yourself FIRST, then if you have to give after, do so. The church had me so screwed up for the longest time, but now I know the truth. God commands that we first and foremost take care of ourselves. This lady did not take care of herself.

Whatithink;
Well, you still don't know the difference between empathy and sympathy. I have loads of empathy. I have so much empathy for her that I pity her, which is a lower form of empathy. That means, that you just look at the person and shake your head while walking on by. You still can't do anything about it. I just don't have sympathy for her. She had ample opportunities to do the right thing. She KNEW long before hand what was going to happen, and she wasn't proactive. She was going to lose the house one way or the other. If it was a matter of pride, memories, and emotional attachment, still, I've learned that you don't let those things get in the way of making good decisions. I'm sure that she was warned.
And, Paris Hilton, yes, is just as bad.
Oh, and by the way, if you're gonna fight for this lady, then by God you'd better fight for me.

markjessup,

Some should be learning who think that racism is dead that it is surely not...thanks to your post.

This is the really problem with racism. It prevents people from having empathy with another human being. That is a tragedy for humanity.
