I was filling out a prayer request but was limited to a max of 50 words. So I will post here instead. https://www.hpumc.org/care-old/prayer
I was listening to the sermon on you reap what you sow. I have invested heavily in better content and lessons for the World then had my YouTube account disabled. Now I get attacked with bad content internet wide. People that reap oppression is no big deal, will reap the produce of oppression? Hate the experience God has allowed to happen to my life. God talks about blessings for those that are persecuted, though not sure that incentivized is an all good thing.
Not sure Results are always a derivative of value you add. People that work hard are not always promoted. Likely plenty of Christians that might have tried through non violence to promote better values pre World War 2 that did not lead to genocide, yet Gas chambers and oppression was still the result. Oppression is allowed by nations like China today and factors into Throughput for our nation that exists. Our politicians take out loans that leave the future with less yet we stand idly by. Society, USA will reap what they sowed? Politicians and those that make decisions for authority leveraged by loans from other countries to no big deal?
People actually talk about the problems, or dance around them? Talk about but don’t talk about can be safer, not always greater comprehension.
I would like better for our country, yet oppression is allowed to be continued to be amplified on the common. The Church as a Worldwide system has failed to give what I feel like is the Golden Rule amplified. The Church Worldwide thus reaps what it sows?
My statements are polarizing? Likely. I desire better change, better lives for all people? Yes. My comprehension is vastly limited by my own personal experience, experience like many others that is limited and allowed to be limited by corrupt voices and corrupt systems? Yes. I hope this World doesn’t truly reap what it sows, this World has not always been truthful, has not always lived up to the Geneva convention, has not been all genocide out, has not been all of the systems like dehumanization that ramp up genocide out.
Small lies, small sins have potential for amplification in not fully appreciated ways. If we actually reaped the full potential in that I am not sure anyone would be smiling. And nobody smiling is really not all Golden Rule amped, misery for all not really how I want to be treated, not really how I want others to be treated.
I have been praying heavily for Rain in Texas, yet similar to 110F is what I have been getting for weeks. Worthy of note my prayer not powerful enough to part the red sea. I sow, but I do not reap. God entertains my ideas, ideas I ask in Christ name as nice to haves, conjecture, hypotheticals? “Seek and you will find knock and the door will open”, I think meant figuratively, yet my comprehension has been less than ideal based upon thoughts in a less than ideal environment, excessive heat not all ideal thinking amplified. I seek and I do not find, I knock loudly and the figurative door does not open. A branch that does not produce needs to be cut down? Getting snaked when I expect a fish?
Results factor into Precedent. Precedent factors into trust.
If I was a business owner (and I am not) would I give a great job or try to help give a better environment to someone that might commit suicide in advance? Yes. Good intentions and good ideas do not always deliver. Activation Energy and knowledge to overcome a threshold to action is not always delivered. A society that stigmatizes questions to Throughput does not always deliver ideal insight into how employees actually feel. If I was a business owner, would I know by default? Unlikely. Would others in the company have the courage to tell me? Maybe. Do corporate environments always foster open and honest communication? Better check the Non Disclosure Agreement.
Change is hard, Throughput is nice
Actually delivering better gets set to easy, and thus does not deliver sufficiently.
We say we want less oppression in the World. We invest in phones. Phones that can call 911. Phones that can call 911 equal more protected and less oppressed? To it is complicated?
Truth matters, dancing around it factors into Throughput, thus Change is Hard
People turn on lights.
People know Electricity is dangerous.
People allow people that amp messages about Electrical Safety to be oppressed.
People do not always amplify safety lessons about Electricity.
People are less than all electrocutions out for society.
People are required to reap what they sow? A society that amps and sows legalism will reap the monstrosities created by legalism that delivers max profit for a few?
People actually want to be rewarded for what they do right and forgiven for what they don’t get right? Yes. People are always adequately trained to do right in the first place? No. Teachers matter, Teachers oppressed matters. Who gains in society is dependent upon what they did right and who loses in society is dependent upon what they did wrong? Society of max profit does not amplify that way, claiming it does not all value added. Training has costs.
You reap what you sow is more useful in physics than an unfair system. If you chop down a tree and cut it up for firewood, you are likely to have firewood tomorrow. In an unfair system, what you have tomorrow is subject to change overnight. Tax collectors might decide they need the firewood for their house instead.
The number of electrocutions are low get confused with they are non-existent. Collective displacement of liability factors into blames perceived as just and unjust, amps less than sufficiently for all.
All sow less than ideally and people try to make claims on who’s seeds are bigger.
Someone that runs a stop sign, gets a speeding ticket loses their license. Yet a system that increases global warming, borrows against the future gets a free pass on perception of reckless? More traffic, more chances for accidents but the probabilities are low enough. Who decides on what risk is low enough? Collective World says environment can take one for the team for the sake of getting to work, keeping the AC cool. One person doing it not that big of deal, but at mass scale which is turned up leads to potential for methane release that accelerates global temperatures for certain climates, potentially furthering poverty divides Worldwide?
Might accelerate causing floods? Here? No. To no big deal? To society gets a free pass on perception of justice served? Society sins collectively and considers it fair game is not all value added, is not all justice amped. Blaming a few, leaving a few in prison while we collectively sin is less than all value added is less than sufficient justice served, is likely to be held into account on judgment day, at least one would think.
People have sufficient resolution of all the value they add and all the value they subtract? No. People amplifying choices and actions based on less than sufficient resolution is likely to amp ideally? No. I want to reward you for A, but need to punish you for B, C, D, E…Z first equals A’s reward will be appreciated, will generate more of A in the future? Punishment is a non null time cost that has the potential to reduce throughput and thus is many times divested from in advance. If all people are not punished, really just to punish a few?
People choose what is relevant, what to factor in based on less than ideal resolution and less than ideal motivations at times. Negate people as ideal judgers as ideal distributors of justice.
Worthwhile to pray for forgiveness for judgments made on less than ideal resolution, less than ideal comprehension, less than ideal perception, and less than ideal training, less than ideal momentum, less than ideal motivations.
What it takes to accurately judge someone might take 1000 years of experience. Since nobody lives 1000 years, an ideal judge is unlikely to be produced. People say they want to understand, but what they really want is increased knowledge with decreased time costs that has potential to amp less than ideal judgment.
Justice is claimed via people that claim they want to understand but make concessions for the sake of throughput.
If someone robs me that is 20 years old, did I invest in better training for them 20 years ago? If I invested in better training for some 20 years ago but I didn’t invest in better training for them, does that factor into Justice? Specific details matter. What I think of as Justice is to be repaid, to stop being robbed, yet details like what has been trained matters. We don’t always invest in a better society and that has the potential to amp non ideally over time. Trust others to train society, we get what we get? It would be nice to be able to trust God to not be robbed, not be oppressed, yet God has not seemed ideally trustable with that, at least from my life. To trust God and the Church to get society to amp ideally?
Corporate Knowledge that would be useful for making the World a Better Place is limited based on max profit on the common
8 Billion people in the World, but how many defense lawyers? If everyone says, they got that covered, it is not ideally covered. Less sufficiently covered is useful, potentially in very non ideal ways. Data that is useful that factors into who gets helped is limited on the common by corporations that are designed to max profit.
From it does not affect me to it does affect me has the potential for being reinforced in non-ideal ways, has a precedent for being reinforced to increase relevance in non-ideal ways. People don’t always deal with a problem until it affects them or someone they care about gets upsold to not a problem, not my problem, not a problem I have to deal with today, not a problem that factors into throughput.
