On Faith: Does Theology Belong in Health-Care Debate? Similar Thoughts...

Washington Post, Saturday,August 22, 2009 page B2:

"Health-care reform is an economic, political and medical issue. But it is also a deeply theological issue, a biblical issue and a moral issue." Readers may concur or demur with your own volition.

Comment: Adam Smith was an economist and a professor of moral philosophy. Confucius/Mencius were moral philosophers as well to cover human behavior without borders for all nations. "Within four seas,all are brothers and sisters!" We are all human beings and nobody would impugn.

PageA14:

Donna Manz wrote a letter to the Editor: To wit her succinct conclusion:

"Materialism and egocentrism versus altruism and selflessness..."

Comment: In my past blogs,I offered the Formula for Happiness: Readers may agree or disagree!? You be the Judge for your own mindset.

Happiness is NOT material consumption over desire only(money=paper?) intellectual pursuit,spiritual satisfaction,good health must be added to the Numerator. The Denominator is Human Desire relevant to human behavior.

I would like to cite the line by Donna Manz to be repeated below:

"Materialism and Egocentrism vs Altruism and Selflessness..." Such may be a struggle of the mind!?

Hark! Living is based upon the above line as "Cheer for the proper state of mind from our conscience for our way of life in the mundane world.
