Christmas thoughts - how much love you give is how much love you receive - Christmas time is time for inner inventory deep inside your heart and soul

Imagine you are a specialist - a true expert - like a farmer, fishermen, carpenter, programmer or graphic designer ...

Some of you are charging for their services or products, others adjust their prices a way that al can afford ...

• potatoes
• tomatoes
• French fries
• apples
• strawberries
• a repaired roof on top of his children's baby body
• a chair to sit on - around a table to eat from
• public transportation affordable to all
• software affordable to none except the richest ones
• graphic design work affordable to corporate bodies and high $ companies

As you may note, above there seem to be at least 2 different groups of experts. A farmer for example producing a dozen or more different kind of fruits, vegetables, crop, diary products, etc - he only needs some 20 to 30 years of apprenticeship - usually around his father-farmer to learn all he needs to know to successfully grow "happy" cows for good quality diary products or strawberries, grapes, apples, etc - in an organic healthy way - the way YOU love your food free of chemicals, GM, pesticides, herbicides, etc. Or the carpenter who takes a piece of wood and turns it into chairs that accommodate you and your family for decades or entire lifetimes.

Each honest and normal working / earning person on this planet can afford potatoes, fruits, bread, rice, etc - even good cakes and cookies, yoghurt or cheese - all are affordable as much as you love to eat as long as you have your regular 8hrs / day job.

Then we have above a few "experts" like IT pros developping software and computer games - many of them learn a long time - like 3 to 5 years or even more and many of them earn 3-5 thousand US$ after as little as a few years of learning / practicing ...

We also have other experts like graphic artists, graphic designers, engineers, architects etc - spending at least 3-5 years of study - usually paid by tax payer's money - to earn as little as 50-100 thousand US$ a year for their expert work.

How much does a farmer earn ?

• For example a strawberry harvesting helper may earn up to a few $ per hour - a few means far less than 8-10$/hr.
• A potato farmer even less
• Mountain farmers like my father and all his neighbors in Switzerland, most of our central European farmers - have a few thousand US$ ....
• PER YEAR
• !!!

I never met a farmer who earned 10 $ or more per hour of his work - but I have met thousands of farmers who earn less than 10$ per full day of work ...

For example if the farmers would start to "charge" prices like IT pros and graphic designer pros do and many other professionals - and if they would charge the same as the modern fast learning fast graduating short time jobs - prices like 60 US$ per hour for example ( a typical price per hour in western / US freelance professional world ) ...

Then:

• our Christmas strawberries would cost some 40-60 US$ per kg or MORE - taking into account the all year long care for a strawberry plantation
• one order French fries might cost some 5-8 US$ per person
• a tomato salad might be some 30-70 US$ - including the 60 $/hr salary share for the cook, waitress, restaurant owner, vegetable sales person, ...
• a kg of walnuts we love so often during Christmas time might be some 80 or 100 $
• a kg apples or oranges, cherries or plums - may be around 40 US$ or more

If all people would be equally greedy
then no one could afford to eat healthy food or enjoy good music or healthy living or SCUBA diving, etc

A rice farmer earns a few hundred $ per YEAR and is as much a child of God as an IT pro, architect, engineer or graphical artist - except that a rice farmer loves

all

you

God above all

That's why a rice farmer is happy with what he GETS by those who are hungry for HIS kind of love - rice

I have never seen a western professional going hungry to bed for not being able to afford a few kilo of fruits for himself and / or his family and children - but I have seen farmers NOT being able to afford a laptop or computer even once every few years. But I have seen even poor farmers being happy because every single day they can fall asleep knowing that they have done really to make their own full time services affordable to all world - hence each and every night they earn/receive the happiness of all those they have been feeding ... hundreds, thousands or more, each day, each week, all life long.

It's Christmas time - to for a very deep inner review of how we live, how we act, how we react, how we handle your love and services toward others. Inventory of our all hearts - a true heart always is available to all world, to all in need - our work and material services or products are nothing else but a test scenario for our later eternal love behavior back home in God. Either we all learn here and now to be useful to all needing our love and love work or we may fail in our last final accounting after death when facing our own reality and past life.

What could we do to change the situation and get all into a God created life of equal value for all human beings ?

One of 2 options is that we all start spending a few ten thousand $ starting tomorrow, travel into mountain areas, African jungle or Amazon jungle, etc and we all start to teach all the farmers to charge 65$ or more for every hour they produce coffee beans, herbal tea, herbalk medicine, potatoes, honey, sugar, rice, etc and we proudly announce to all the hundreds of Millions of farmers that as of today they will earn 10'000 or more US$ per months because their working day usually is 15 or more hours 7 days a week all year long - no vacation, no social security. Hence 15x30x65$=29.250 US$/months - that would be their true salary with the amount of work they do when farmers and similar carriers of our life charge what we or some of us "charge".

Merry Christmas time
