"Honor is a beautiful thing, but it is a means, not an end. A man who starves with honor does not feed his family, a King who falls on his sword with honor does not save his people."
9. Sad thing as I was checking out of Publix the other day. Two young
women in handcuffs being escorted out by the locals for shoplifting. Other customers and I agreed most likely trying to feed their families with little or no income.
We have never been that hungry before and I know that you can't really say unless you've been in that situation. We are blessed to have many, many friends who would share with us so I doubt it would ever come to that (and we would ask if we needed it). We have given to so many people so I'm hoping that karma will help us in that regard.
I would never judge someone who stole food who was hungry or needed to feed someone in their family, however.
