We are not our own. We do not belong to ourselves. But we have been purchased with a dear price. We have cost an immense sum, even the sufferings and death of the Son of God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We are, in many respects, in a moral and spiritual free-fall in our country, and we are paying a terrible price.
We think we own things, but the reality is, our things own us.
We are the world. We are the people and we deserve better not because we're worth it but because no worth can be put on the incalculable, on the infinite, on life.
What we share with another ceases to be our own.
We are not the sum of our possessions.
When we die our money, fame, and honors will be meaningless. We own nothing in this world. Everything we think we own is in reality only being loaned to us until we die. And on our deathbed at the moment of death, no one but God can save our souls.
Everything you want in life has a price connected to it. There's a price to pay if you want to make things better, a price to pay just for leaving things as they are, a price for everything.
Part of our essential humanity is paying respect to what God gave us and what will be here a long time after we're gone.
We are all born into the world with nothing. Everything we acquire after that is profit.
What we buy, and pay for, is part of ourselves.
