About Me
- Katie
- I am a daughter of God who is striving to do and be all that God has for me. I'm a pretty normal person, kinda goofy at times, but I can be a dear. If I try :) I always try to be happy and I'm never lazy, I've tried, it doesn't agree with me. Once you meet me you'll never want for entertainment :)

Not to answer your question, but here's an interesting quote. From St. Maximilian Kolbe.
"How many volumes have been written about equality among men!...And yet,...we still have the rich and the poor.... Let us imagine that one day all the inhabitants of the world would assemble to put into effect this sharing of all goods; and that in fact each person...received an exactly equal portion.... Then what? That very evening one man might say, 'Today I worked hard: now I am going to take rest'. Another might state, 'I understand this sharing of goods well; so let's drink and celebrate such an extraordinary happening'.
Another might say, 'Now I am going to set to work with a will so as to reap the greatest benefit I can from what I have received.' And so, starting on the next day, the first man would have only the amount given him, the second would have less, and the third would have increased his. Then what do we do? Start redistributing the wealth all over again? Even if everybody began to work right away with all his might and at the same time, the results would not be identical for all....
In spite of this, the human mind still desires to bring about certain equality among men. Is there any possibility that this can happen? Yes, no doubt. Every man, whoever he is, whatever he possesses and whatever he is capable of doing, owes all this to God the Creator of the universe. Of himself, man is nothing. From this point of view all of us are absolutely equal."
I have taken liberty with the paragraphs in the interest of space. Hope you enjoy.
