Do You Have The Right Attitude?

If you are perplexed about all the evil and bad in the world -- and no doubt -- the world stinks to high heaven, then if you are indignant all the time, do you think that people will feel the urge to approach you and talk?

And if you are like that every day, do you think that you will win and convince people of the truth? You have lots of costly pearls of wisdom to share, but do you think people will readily accept it if you portray a constant face of bitter disappointment; yes I know, you and God are fully justified about your disposition, but what does it help?

Maybe you should consider trying something else, or are you not interested? -- I'm sure you are -- in getting people to get to the truth; to appreciate your point of view.

Now we all know that it's virtually impossible to change yourself. First God need to change your circumstances and you need to go through some pain, but now well... How are we going to otherwise get to be different -- to have a more positive attitude?

The thing is, what's the right attitude? What is the wise thing to do? It depends on what you want to achieve. What fruit do you want to produce? Is it a love for God and neighour, a voluntary surrender to His commandments, and the Sabbath? Then you need to begin by setting the example, and do it yourself!

Ok, so you do it already? Then I wonder if you're not already doing enough? If you do all these good things, then I suppose there is no chance you'll have one spare minute to preach. So stuff it then. You're perfect already. Your examples speak books full.
