As it was in the beginning…

I noticed that hunger made people sell their birthright; the famine- equivalent to recession and inflation- made some sell their livestock in exchange for rations; desires made some barter their prized possessions and the anguish to make it through the day made many volunteer to become slaves and still some bargaining with God to avoid discipline; even to end their misery was a common plea with the Almighty.

Another common ground is the effect of greed, some hoarded the harvest and the resources; building bigger barns to hide the riches and wealth taxing over and above.

In this same resourceful guide are examples of compassion, celebration, faux pas, warriors seeking justice, freedom, assertiveness, courage, feasting.

So in fact there have always been characters such as displayed in this day and age.
The one that still get me is that God had no qualms about being jealous enough to make sure there is no other Number One. Why does OmniGod, the creator and owner of everything and everyone has to be so concerned about something or someone taking its place?

Maybe once bitten, twice shy!

And why did OmniGod take six days to set things in motion and why the need for rest
I think it is to indicate the relevance of self-preservation and self care.
