Provision is good. Satisfaction is better.
A job provides. It doesn't always satisfy.
Most socialists apparently find mere provision unsatisfying. People of good character, the kind of character created through trials, understand that even mere provision isn't something they are entitled to and they thank God they have a job.
Why isn't that the right way to think? Why must good character and those who advocate it be treated contemptuously by these would be messiahs?
Because good character thwarts their agenda by creating people who don't need them. Same old thing!
