You fail to realize that very few members of our society are not
self-centered and/or materialistic and really have no concept of altruism
or
servitude. My mentor is Jesus. All I need to do is read the Gospel of
Matthew to know how a decent human being should act. Very few Christians
try
to follow every word. I'm working on a list of the most ignored phrases of
the Gospels. The first one is Jesus said, "Be perfect as your Father in
Heaven is perfect." It means complete self-sacrifice to the benefit of
others. Whenever you think "what would I like to do?" change that to "what
could I do now to help others?"

You assume to know me. I wish you lived close to Milwaukee Wisconsin so
that
you could ask the people I work with what they think of me, or come to a
Wednesday Theosophical Society meeting and ask them what they think of me,
or go to my parent's church and ask the people there what they think of
me.
You are ignorant and foolish to parade your ignorance.
