🌺Unending greed is the source of all loss.🌺

2/23 Edited to

... Read moreเวลาเราเสิร์ชคำว่า “คนโลภมาก” ส่วนใหญ่ไม่ได้อยากด่าใครอย่างเดียว แต่อยาก “เข้าใจ” ว่าพฤติกรรมแบบไหนเรียกโลภ และจะรับมือยังไงไม่ให้ตัวเองหรือคนรอบตัวพังไปด้วย สำหรับฉัน ประโยคที่เตือนใจมากคือ “ความโลภที่ไม่มีสิ้นสุด เป็นบ่อเกิดแห่งความสูญสิ้นทุกสิ่ง” เพราะมันจริงแบบเงียบ ๆ—ไม่ได้พังทันที แต่ค่อย ๆ กัดกินทีละนิด คนโลภมากเป็นอย่างไร (สัญญาณที่เจอบ่อย) 1) ไม่เคยพอ: ได้แล้วก็อยากได้เพิ่มทันที ไม่สนว่าตัวเองล้า คนอื่นเหนื่อย หรือใครเดือดร้อน 2) เอาประโยชน์เป็นหลัก: ทุกเรื่องต้องคุ้ม “ฉัน” ก่อน เช่น แย่งเครดิต แย่งโอกาส หรือกดราคาแบบไม่เห็นใจ 3) ชอบเปรียบเทียบ: เห็นคนอื่นได้ดีแล้วร้อนใจ กลายเป็นทำทุกทางเพื่อ “เหนือกว่า” 4) ไม่รับผิดชอบผลเสีย: พอเรื่องพัง มักโยนให้คนอื่น ทั้งที่ต้นเหตุคือความอยากเกินพอดี ทำไมความโลภถึงทำให้ “สูญสิ้นทุกสิ่ง” เพราะความโลภทำลาย 3 อย่างพร้อมกัน: ความไว้ใจ, ความสัมพันธ์ และชื่อเสียง ต่อให้ได้ของ/เงินมาเพิ่ม แต่ถ้าคนรอบตัวไม่เชื่อใจ หรือไม่มีใครอยากร่วมงาน สุดท้ายต้นทุนชีวิตจะแพงกว่ากำไรที่ได้ วิธีเช็กตัวเองแบบไม่หลอกตัวเอง - ก่อนตัดสินใจ ลองถามว่า “ถ้าเราได้เพิ่มอีกนิด แต่ต้องเสียเพื่อน/เสียสุขภาพ คุ้มไหม?” - ตั้งเพดานคำว่า “พอ” เช่น รายได้เท่านี้พอใช้ พอเก็บ พอแบ่งปัน แล้วหยุดเพิ่มภาระตัวเอง - ฝึกขอบคุณสิ่งที่มีทุกวัน (เขียน 3 ข้อก็ได้) วิธีนี้ลดความรู้สึกขาดได้จริง ถ้าต้องอยู่กับคนโลภมาก รับมือยังไง - ตั้งขอบเขตชัดเจนเรื่องเงิน งาน และเวลา (พูดให้ตรง ไม่คลุมเครือ) - ทำทุกอย่างให้มีหลักฐาน โดยเฉพาะงาน/ข้อตกลง - ถ้าเริ่มกระทบสุขภาพใจ ให้ถอยห่างอย่างสุภาพ เพราะเราเปลี่ยนนิสัยใครไม่ได้ สุดท้ายความโลภไม่ได้น่ากลัวเพราะ “อยากได้” แต่น่ากลัวตรงที่มันไม่มีเส้นจบ ลองกลับมาเตือนตัวเองด้วยประโยคนี้บ่อย ๆ: ความโลภที่ไม่มีสิ้นสุด เป็นบ่อเกิดแห่งความสูญสิ้นทุกสิ่ง

Are you an enemy of God?
Todays Bible study was in James 4. This chapter has a big emphasis on submitting to God. James opens by stating the biggest conflict we have as Christians is between our own pleasures and the will of God. Which we can all attest too. We fight against what the world tells us to do, wants us to do
