Business it is nothing personal --- hahahaha

I learned something that was incredibly enlightening over the weekend. I was lying in bed watching a movie. One of the actors quoted from the script “It is only business. You have to realize that this is not personal.”

Like so many people, I am sure that millions of adults have heard this phrase throughout their lifetime. This phrase is utter horse manure! It is a phrase that promotes materialistic greed over humanity. It is a phrase that supports money over life. It is a phrase that should be considered evil in every means by definition. We are human beings and not a business. We leave our homes to work and provide just the simple basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. Yet everyday in the “business” world, the adult person is required to give more of their self to the business more so than to the people they are responsible for. They are required to spend more time in the business than with their own families.

I have to question, when is it only business? We pour our physical selves into working for humane reasons. Therefore I have to question are we too messed up as a society to realize that we are lacking in humanity? Is it business to feed your family? Is it business to make sure our families have a place to live? These are acts of love, an emotion. Business does not have emotions and they are not human. Businesses are run by human people—backed by people who in a sense want materialism—to make money and lots of it in some cases.

Simply put the business does not necessarily need money. The people running the business have a need or a want for a specific purpose to make the business. Think of this, if people stopped doing business it would be personal because it was a human effort. If a business closes, it would be personal by the owners for whatever reason. Both purposes are driven by human reasoning that affects the human life personally.

So in the long run, when we hear someone say “It is only business,” you can respond verbally or think quietly—horse manure—that person is an idiot!  Inanimate objects have no animation or driving force of human life. Inanimate objects are not human. The difference is people are animate and everything we do in life is done by an animate human being.

Do not take material over humanity ---over life—over what is really important such as the touch of our child’s hand or the angel kisses from our loved ones as we grow old. We miss something wonderful when we allow the business to rule our lives. Humanity is the most important aspect in everything—and it should be ruled by ethical humane people.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

If we follow Gods plans then we find that we act more in God's business than anything else. We do not know God's business until we know God and what he expects from us in life; therefore it is very personal. 

Keep each other in prayers—remember God does exist.

God bless you all and keep safely in His arms.
