Trust = time + right action (From blue book) In situations like this, in my opinion, and this is only my opinion the most important thing is for me anyway, is to first not lose any one's soul to Hell. I have lived there too long, to want myself to live there again.
To me, gold is meaningless. That is things of this world. Rich or poor, the soul matters more and the soul, the spirit, that is more precious than any arguments about gold.
Whether we all end up in Hell or Heaven matters more. That is out of my hands and in the hands of a power greater than I, but I surrender to that power each and every day and for me that power is God. The only business I have is keeping my eyes on God, because I will look at you thru him. If I don't then that is where things start to fall apart and reality gets all confusing. That is the the only way I can forgive, love and otherwise relate to you. I am precious, you are precious, human life is precious, human dignity is precious, children are precious, everyone living is precious. Life is a gift. We are blessed beyond measure. That is reality talking. The inner addict says other things, but that person (the person in all of us here)is given to God, and God will take care of the addicts within all of us.
In the world He or she who has Gold rules. In the real world, He or she who has God rules. That is where the real power lies.
But those are just my opinions, and opinions can vary, that is why have to go thru the higher standard of God, as that never changes as well and I am putting all of us up against the following and highest standards, we are all worth at least that::
"Do onto others as you would have them do onto you."
Our father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done On earth as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever.
