Be mindful of the speech we all engage
In daily.
Wholesome thoughts we must dispel from the mind strongly.
Patience and endurance are most praiseworthy.
They are true hallmarks of spirituality.
Do good, avoid bad, strive on diligently.

Mothers used to teach their chewren the above.  That was in the days when women didn't go out to work, and their thoughts were not so corrupt.  Nao, women work and have become as evil as can be, and they teach their chewren, if they aren't spinsters, how to be street smart.

The above and being street-smart do not synch well.  When you are streetsmart, you become ruthless, merciless, and deceptive.  Cunning.  Religion pulls you one way, the world pulls you the other.  In the end, most peepur settle for the instant gratification which this world gives, and if you are street smarter than the next, you get the prize.  How many will go for the rewards of the afterlife?  Few and far between lorh.

So, talk is cheap.  Talking about the above is easy, we all have built-in a conscience for good.  Yet for centuries, millennia, we tried and we failed.  This is why we need Jesus.  Siddhartha and Muh also need Jesus.  This is not what I say.  This is what the Bible says.  If it's what I say, you can consign my post to the bin as just some nonsense that's written by a laughing wolf.
