Debtors

Debt is the worst poverty. ~Thomas Fuller, Gnomologia, 1732

There are a lot of people in this world that instead of accumulating wealth had been in the streak of accumulating debt.

When you look at them, you will think that they are filthy rich because they have all the material manifestation of a wealthy person. But money corrupts people. So whatever money they’ve borrowed will bring upon them their very own downfall.

Just imagine if your debt would amount to say $20,000,000? Can you sleep? If a person can sleep better at night knowing that he owes the world so much, he must have an unbelievable character worthy to even make a record in Guinness.

So the poor people should not feel so bad after all, yes they may be poor … but they won’t be carrying around in their conscience something so enormous. We should not always worry about what we should eat or what to wear tomorrow because our Creator knows our needs and He will provide. It gives me comfort in my moments of chaos the thought that man is far more important than the birds in the sky or the grass in meadows. If He takes care of those tiny creatures what more man? We also have to do our share in this world… we can’t just sit down and wait for bread to fall down from the sky.

But we have to remember, that we should only limit our borrowings to an extent to which we are able to pay back during the prescribed time given to us. They said too much of everything brings about destruction. Everyone has to learn the art of budgeting because it helps a lot in decision making. We better stick to the necessities that way we never go astray.
