I saw this on Facebook, and thought that this would fit here:
michael430, I reacted very strongly too. It felt like a slap in the face, as someone so eloquently put it.
Our whole existence is possible *because* of hard work and efforts of other people in the past, and in the present. Adonai is not the first one bringing this catalyst, and he will probably not be the last one either. Gary asked him once if he acknowledges the fact that his existence is possible because of hard work of other people, but he never replied to that. I think that this is what I reacted at most. Some people (and as I said, Adonai is not the only one) just don't recognize that their existence is based upon work of others.
Some people have money, or in some other way are being supported by others, and they can do "whatever they want to", while telling others that they are slaves under our salaries, companies, governments and whatnot. But as it is said in the above image, it is not about that. It is about *people*, and as you also so eloquently put it: "My job and family are not my "masters" who will whip or kill me if I decide to leave them. I am so fortunate to have a job and family that both make me feel important, loved, respected, and keep me well-fed and emotionally supported." That is what's important.
Much love.
