When your phone runs out of space what do you delete? The things that matter most, or the things that matter least to you?
Now apply that to relationships and life
I looked in your cup to see if you had enough, you looked in mine to check if I had more than you.
That difference says everything.
We are not the same.
The point of our lives is not comfort, security, or even happiness; but training. Not fulfillment, but preparation. This world is a lousy home, but it's a fine gymnasium.
~ Peter Kreeft , โMaking Sense of Sufferingโ
Rejoice in your suffering
Because suffering produces perseverance
And perseverance creates character
And character hope
And hope is a gift from the Holy Spirit

Outright waste is at least 15%, so another trillion+ dollars.
Anyone who works in government knows this.
