Unfortunately which ever category you find yourself in you’ll probably be like many people and spend the entire following year trying to get the purchases paid off so you can repeat the cycle all over again. Along with this vicious cycle of buy – spend – pay --- then buy again comes the headaches of all that is involved and the regrets when your purchase does not bring the anticipated response that you were expecting.
In reality more people should be, not so concerned with a “season for giving” but become involved with “a time of forgiving!”
Some people will almost become involved in what we used to call in my day, a knockdown, drag out fight, to make sure they are in stores at a certain time to be the FIRST to take advantage of the marked down prices. They don’t care if they actually injure someone in the process. They are only concerned with their own advantage in the purchasing process.
We wouldn’t have to look far: Within the nations of the world, within the countries, within the states or providences, within the cities, or even within our own families, to be able to find situations which will call for a forgiving attitude. However, we may want to think within ourselves that we have the “spirit of the season” when in actuality we have the spirit of this world!
This is a spirit which drives us to be competitive, to be aggressive, and to take advantage of every possible circumstance where we can see ourselves coming out on top of the situation. Sadly this is becoming even more prolific in children and not only adults. This only goes to show us to be the selfish, self-centered individuals that we truly are, but then again we’re only human!
