A Fundamental Attitude

    "The fundamental attitude of selfishness saturates the human nature of every person in every sector of every economy in every country of every era.  Our very nature is self-oriented, self-conscious, self-esteeming, self-serving, self-defending, self-aggrandizing, self-enriching and, ultimately, self-destructive. It is also destructive towards others. A selfish nature is in you and me, when we are building a home, when we are inside our homes, when we leave home.  It is the foundation of our finances, our commerce, our economies, our governments, our health, our entertainments, our work and every part of our everyday lives. The human condition is built on selfish human nature.  But why shouldn't the same human beings on the same land with the same resources experience work, commerce and life in a way that is positive, virtuous, unoppressed, sharing and inspiring rather than negative, bleak, pointless and terminal?  We should. But it requires a change in our spirit, our attitude, our motivation and the nature that human beings have had from the beginning.

    Changing human nature cannot be done by human government. It would require a government with spectacular power, power to not only construct the universe but to create the human body, the human brain, the human spirit, the human power of choice and human relationships. It would require the very Creator of human beings ruling the creation directly and guiding, correcting and helping human beings to choose to give instead of choosing to get.  It would require replacing the very foundation of society with a new one: the literal government of God on Earth."   -  Revolution Is Coming - Ph.
