This cost them about $1 trillion.
The truth is, you cannot build systems like this exclusively on the logic of profit. You cannot expect to break even in 20 or 30 years. Projects of this scale are built because the government decides they must exist to serve the people.
And this is a problem with systems that are strictly, or overwhelmingly, capitalist. If you leave every problem in your society to the spontaneity of the market, some challenges are so large and so unprofitable that you will never have sufficient incentive to solve them.
Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,”
Most kids dont understand story lines about redemption. Theyre too filled with Christian ideas about instantaneous salvation.
They cant imagine that you will sometimes spend your entire life making up for something you did wrong and it isnt going to end. You will do it until you die. And salvation is about accepting that place - to other people - not just your inner thoughts and conversations with God.
i deadass feel like i’m talking about jesus when i tell people to please live in the moment and appreciate this because you truly will not understand what you were witnessing until he’s gone
Someone said:
"Life can flip in a second. One phone call, one diagnosis, one unexpected moment and everything changes. Nothing is guaranteed. Not time. Not health. Not the people you love. So love louder. Appreciate deeper. Because what feels normal today could be something you pray for tomorrow" and I felt that.
The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast.
Bad conversation? Move on.
Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow.
Missed workout? Hit it the next day.
Poor decision? Learn and adjust.
You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.
God will literally sit you down and break you to humble you, then will isolate you to build you. Then God will give you back everything far beyond what you lost to prove to you God is real and that everything is for a reason. Keep your trust in God.
