“People used to complain about 'the idle rich.' But the idle rich did not do the kind of harm being done by today's busybody rich, who feed their own egos by bankrolling political crusades on the left which hurt the very people that the left claims to care about -- working people, minorities, and children.” PeopleKindChildrenDoneCareTodayPoliticalUsedLeftHurtRichEgoClaimsHarmComplainingMinoritiesIdleCrusadesBeing DoneBusybodies Author:Thomas Sowell

“Women of a selected class, by the use of slaves and servants have become inactive, the mere recipients of values, no longer creators but "feeding on unearned wealth." This hurts their nature and debases the social fabric. If a woman does no labor in her home which could properly make her self-supporting outside that home she is in duty bound to do something outside her home to justify her claim to support.” IfsDoeSelfUseHomeValuesSocialHurtWealthClassSupportDutyLaborClaimsSlaveMereBoundsCreatorServantJustifyFabricFeedingSelected Book:Woman's Share in Social Culture Source: Woman's Share in Social Culture
“What is forgiving? Forgiving is giving up all claim on one who had hurt you and letting go of the emotional consequences of the hurt. How can we do that? It's done at the price of beating back our pride. By nature we are selfish. Forgiving, by definition, is unselfish. Being hurt by another person wounds our pride. Pride stands in the way of forgiving. We cannot forgive without God's help. It might be possible for us to forgive something inconsequential without God's help; but in significant matters, we are unlikely to accomplish anything without God's involvement in the process.” WayGivingPersonsMatterDoneHelpingMightProcessHurtEmotionalPrideLetting GoGiving UpConsequenceClaimsForgivingDefinitionsAccomplishSelfishWoundsSignificantBitternessUnlikelyInvolvementUnselfishWithout GodBeing HurtInconsequential Author:Richard Walters

“There have been many claims that [U.S.] sanctions have hurt Burma economically, but I did not agree with that point of view. If you look at reports by the IMF, for example, they make quite clear that the economic impact on Burma has not been that great. But I think the political impact has been very great and that has helped us in our struggle for democracy.” IfsThinkingLooksHas BeensPoliticalHurtViewsStruggleDemocracyClearEconomicExampleClaimsAgreeImpactPoint Of ViewReportsSanctionsBurmaImf Author:Aung San Suu Kyi
