Second Part Of Somalia And Greece, World Affairs Concl.

Hello World:
I want to edit in here that even though I have mentioned Greece in several post titles, I consider this to be my second part of discussing the problems of Somalia and Greece together. I consider that the two recent archive posts titled "World Affairs Norway, Somalia and Greece" from 9-7-11 and "Back To Discussing Somalia And Greece In World Affairs" from 9-14-11 as both going together like one post. Those two together are linked to this post here today. 

As I was mentioning the damaging effects on the people of a country suffering from financial problems, as I previously referred to Somalia and Greece. I must go on to say somebody will need to actually do something to help the people; and try to keep the society stable, in those countries or in any country having similar problems.

Socialism can work, if the leaders providing the services, have decent hearts for helping the people. In providing public services, the government does not have to control the people's every move or spy or track everything its' citizens are doing. People DO NOT have to be monitored or lose their privacy.

Basic goods and public services, such as public transportation with both buses and commuter trains are essential in helping people find jobs, get back and forth to jobs, and to put their lives back together financially and independently. Shelters, NOT CONCENTRATION CAMPS, but again, shelters can be built and set up for people who can not afford a home or apartment.

They can move and travel in and out as they please. If they do find a job, they can pay a small percentage of rent based upon their income; until they can afford to move into their own apartment or house. People who are unemployed should show some efforts in looking for work or a job. So, there should be something in place to prevent or deter abuses to the system.

Many conservatives and right-wing conservative christians will have a problem with what I just said, above, about socialism and the government providing social services to help people. A lot of conservatives act like everybody is automatically born rich, and do not need help like themselves. However, that is not the case.

I want to add in here, that in many countries we can see that capitalism or free enterprise is not the answer to the world's problems. UNFORTUNATELY, under capitalism, there are only a few in the world who have, but there are TOO MANY WHO HAVE NOT. Free markets in principle is okay, but there are too many people invested in the free markets who are SELFISH HUMAN BEINGS, with BLACK HEARTS. They are not concerned about anybody else's condition, but themselves. They have stupid and very ungodly excuses as to why the next person is suffering, and why they refuse to help.

Everybody does not live and grow up in the same rich and prosperous environment. Many people grow up through hellish situations, NOT OF THEIR CHOOSING. Many people and groups have MAJOR differences in their historical backgrounds, that has an affect either negative or positive on future generations.

In other words, everybody's background in society is not positive and gleeful. You or a country or society needs BOTH a free market system and social government services in place together. Capitalism and socialism together, with socialism available as a secondary or emergency option when the citizens need assistance.

This is NOT to make people permanently dependent on the government. If decent people need help, you help them; you do not let them die. If you want to complain about them using the social services, THEN HIRE THEM TO WORK FOR YOU. If they do not have all of the educational qualifications or work experience in a particular field, then give them ON THE JOB TRAINING. So, in other words, how about you quit complaining about them AND YOU PERSONALLY HELP THEM.

Going back to explaining those scriptures from a couple of posts back, when it comes to giving and helping the poor, God DOES NOT want us to be conservative. In fact, when it comes to giving to the poor, God clearly in the scriptures or bible, supports a LIBERAL AGENDA. From Proverb 11, God says, the liberal soul shall be fat, or have plenty or much. God says in Proverb 22, he that has a bountiful eye or free giving, or he that gives plenty shall be blessed, for he gives bread to the poor.

Also, in Deuteronomy 16, God says a man should give as he is able to give, according to how God blessed him. In St. Matthew 10, Jesus said along with the ministry work of preaching, healing the sick and other duties, to do NOT neglect giving ALSO. Jesus said freely ye have received, freely give. In Ezra, it says they gave according to their ability or what they could actually give. Paul mentions in 2 Corinthians a man should give according to what he has and NOT according to what he does not have. I can say more about that will not.

Paul also mentions in 2 Corinthians 9, that we should give cheerfully, and that God loves a cheerful giver. Psalm 41 says the Lord will bless him who considers the poor, by delivering him out of trouble. In St. Matthew again, Jesus said if you give to the poor, you will have treasure in Heaven; and to follow Him, because that is what, WE, His believers and followers do.

In looking at what God said in those scriptures, we can see that God DID NOT say to complain or make up excuses, for not giving to the poor or not finding legitimate charities to give to, who will help the poor. You do want to be wise about how and where you give, As, Jesus mentions in St. Matthew 7:6 about not giving that which is holy to dogs and casting your pearls before swine, or to people who do not appreciate your giving and help and whom will actually turn against you, after you help them.

However, the bible DOES NOT say that God wants us to be conservative in our giving. The bible DOES NOT say God loves a conservative giver. NO! In fact, the word conservative is not even mentioned in the bible. Again, God says the liberal soul shall be fat, or not lack, or be blessed with much in a healthy way.

So, according to the scriptures in the bible, it is better and MORE pleasing to God to be liberal or liberal in giving, especially to help the poor, THAN being conservative. Again, I believe God wants us to be smart about it, and use wisdom; but again, be liberal or more on the liberal side of helping the poor.
