Today is Friday, August 20th, 2010; Karen's Korner #1890
In case you can't tell, I am spending some time charging through the book of Proverbs.
Today's verse caught me eye. Who among us hasn't had something to say about 'government', at least at some level. Then we learn the real truth: the 'government' is US!
"When there is moral rot within a nation,
its government topples easily;
but with honest, sensible leaders
there is stability."
~ Proverbs 18:2

Bible Commentary:
One person's selfishness quickly affects others.
A selfish employee who steals from his company impairs its efficiency.
A selfish driver who drinks before taking the wheel makes the state's highways unsafe.
A selfish spouse who has an adulterous affair often breaks up several families.
When enough people live for themselves with little concern for how their actions affect others,
the resulting moral rot can topple an entire nation.
Are you part of the problem....
Or the solution?
