Mar 15 2011: MOST people WANT to work. Why baspheme the majority of unemployed by stigmatizing them with erroneous labels, propogating slanderous opinions about individuals and groups you know nothing about? By doing so, you endanger them and their children in deep an countless ways. Please stop.
Anyone making such pure conjectures and speculations should have a good long look in the mirror. Words such as these and put in such a way, could only come from someone whose guilt ridden conscious does not have the courage nor ability to face their own demons and take responsibility for their own actions. Their fear, anger and confusion have been petrified and pressurized inside themselves for so long that the only way they can feel relief is to project their maladaptive views of themselves onto an entire group of other people.
Try something constructive for a change. Ever serve food for the homeless in a soup kitchen?
Until you have walked at least 100 miles in another persons shoes you can't begin to fathom the reasons for their behavior.
My favorite saying comes from the result of a published 10 year study on baboons:
THE WAY ONE IS TREATED IN A BABOON SOCIETY, HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE WAY THE BODY FUNCTIONS.
Mar 3 2011: Although I am only speculating, I posit that Allah would ask that you work with Allah to the best of your ability to discern Truths of teachings and follow them. The outcome would then most likely result in your life span fulfilling its maximum potentiation (to the highest degree of what Mazlow would call "Self Actualization") in a process chosen by YOU. If you are not at peace with doing this, perhaps you should choose a different process.
Food we eat and "rules" we follow are only a couple of the myiads of variables that influence how long we live. The biggest two questions for you might be...how long do you want to live and what degree of each measure are you willing to take to acheive your longevity goal?
Mar 3 2011: How old are you, James? I am 51. Depending on your age and experience, your wonderful altruistic and genuine care for the well being of others over and above yourself is an awesome grace that needs to be handled with care.
When this gift is used wisely, you, your loved ones, your friends, your community and even the world have much potential to exponentially benefit from that grace that has been given to you.
When this grace is intentionally or unintentially misused or used without having read the "owners manual" and FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS -- an equally exponentiated distructive force potentiates and may bursify causing more or less great harm...and even death.
Here's a simple rule that I try to follow. Evaluate how well you are able to follow each of these three following rules AND IN THIS ORDER OF PRIORITY. Choose the hardest one to work on first. Remember...it's a life long journey and only you and your Creator are the final judges.
#1. Love God Above All Else.
#2. Love Your Neighbor As Yourself.
#3. Love Yourself As God Loves You.
In direct answer to your question, I would advise FIRST surround yourself with heathly Minds, Bodies AND Spirits. Then, you AND THE GROUP attempt to attract the others.
