You may be living your life based on a concept of available time and resources. You are working toward future goals for your security and your comfort.

The rest of the world needs to take care of themselves. As long as you do what’s good for you… you will be ok.

• Plans
• Goals
• Milestones
• Achivements
• Recognition

But that’s because you think you have control, you think you have time, and you may think you can live your life relatively undisturbed while others live in desperation. You think it won’t get so bad that it stops you dead in your tracks.

But I’ll let you in on a secret. The lives of others affect your life.

These are the things that will do you in if you don’t care enough to work with others to stop them while you have the chance.

• Hate
• Poverty
• Oppression
• Fear
• Suffering
• Greed
• Ignorance

Those seven roads lead to desperation and desperation never ends well.
