Dearth of discernment

It was in the 50’s (I’d guess) I heard of making money like this -“If I could buy him for what he’s worth and sell him for what he THINKS he’s worth…” This speaks of personal pride. Much later I became aware that some men were “selling for more than they were worth.” This speaks of public perception (or lack thereof 😦 ) – a widespread dearth of discernment. The first hurts that man. The second hurts many, especially youth who are depending on adult wisdom and not getting it.

The desire to be a Godly man

is admirable and attainable for the perfectly obedient soul. (This desire is best left unexpressed or at the max, expressed only to his mate.) The desire to be known as a Godly man is carnal and hopefully never achieved.
