Yeah.

Meanwhile, Stim really got to the heart of the matter, I think, when he said, "The real question here...is not really about dying for someone else. It is about whether we, in life, have tended to be self-less or selfish.

When someone suffered, did we help them? When someone was hungry, did we feed them? When people were persecuted, did we intervene? When a friend needed money, did we give it? When children needed comfort...well, you know the drill..."

Those are the essential questions right there.

It does say in the Bible, "What does it profit a man to gain the entire world, and lose his soul?" And what I take that to mean is...if you gain all kinds of material things and much worldly power, but you lose your integrity and your humanity in the process, you've lost everything that really matters. Spiritually speaking, you've become the equivalent of a dead man walking.

In regards to that: Notice how popular zombie films are lately? It figures. We live under a political/marketing system that basically promotes a zombie lifestyle as far as I can see....mindless comsumption...and a fascination with violence.
