The ad's not for you, hahaha! (start my belief system) I don't think your comment on the Church was ugly, Aloy. It's good to be seeking the answers to these questions. Well, I believe that heaven and hell do exist. They're kind of going to be missing a big detail if they don't at least say that! Another thing I believe in: people are inherently self-centered (really), and if you place them in solitary confinement from birth, the concept of responsibility will probably never come to them. Children are difficult to predispose to altruism, so you have to set the ground rules. Only time will tell if these children grow up to realize that to do good deeds is to be an imitation of Christ-- that we were put on Earth to be good to each other. (/end my belief system-- you're free to express your beliefs, but anybody who poopoohs mine will DIE by my hand) The "Pay It Forward" thing, even though the movie was a complete snorefest from start to finish, was just a reminder to those of us who've forgotten that nothing good ever comes to us by accident. Somebody made it happen, and sooner or later, it has to be us. Fuck the lecturer. Who cares about referrals? Honestly? I've sometimes in the dark solitude of my apartment shed a few tears thinking about some of my patients (who are ALIVE, mind you, heh heh) who've really shown me examples of great faith in times of adversity. How's that for reciprocity? I agree, Aloy, but they of course were appealing to the selfish part of the world’s population– the “What’s in it for me?” part– which I believe is the majority. The ad’s not for you, hahaha!
