People whose history and future were threatened each day by extinction considered that it was only by divine intervention that they were able to live at all. I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.
Neatness and cleanliness is not a function of how rich or poor you are but that of mentality and principle.
Every opportunity, every influence and affluence you possess, could not have been for you alone, but to act as a platform to impact a generation.
