If you would really like to see people working together instead of in opposition please read my novel "Invisible Hand" to see how we can bring about such a situation. There is a realistic way to make us all partners and to feel like we are partners. It eliminates poverty, unemployment, organized crime, war, inflation, government oppression (regardless of how office holders are selected), and debt.

I have published the complete book here on Gather so it won't cost you anything other than time (and that well spent) to read it and thereby better understand why we have so much conflict and how we can "fix it." But if you don't like those ads on Gather it is also available, complete, at:

If you are suspicious of my offer that shows what our current system has done to you.
(If you aren't a little suspicious you are too gullible. :-)

I definitely know that I don't know it all.
Help me get a publishing deal with a 10 rating and a comment. I comment back.

Living in harmony. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

I take your thoughts a bit farther. If each one of us is unique and has gifts given specifically to us (which we are and do!), then if we are not sharing ourselves and our gifts with God and with His people, aren't we stealing from them?

This is a beautiful quote, and your idea of the human race being like a diamond is very poetic. I never thought about it that way before.

Thanks, Jan.

Your diamond analogy is, indeed, beautiful.

Thanks, this is excellent food for thought and the concept of each of God's children doing their part is something we all should bear in mind.

Thomas, anyone who believes he or she is better than others is treading on very thin ice. It is foolish to set our standards higher than God's. He made us and he loves us all. How can a person be good enough for God to love, but not good enough for other humans to accept?
