We are hard wired to make judgments about everything in our environment, including others. Some of us make an extra effort to rise above our instintual impulses, and some of us don't. Everyone is guilty of it at some point though.

We let our egos get in the way and worry more about material things and satisfying ourselves than about being spiritual and sharing with others. It sucks but thats free will.

Because it's the action of giving of ourselves, we must sacrifice pride and ourselves and give up selfves in order to clear room for god.You have to give of yourself..God insists on being first..

God has always wanted humanity to live in His heart, but humanity chooses to live in the mind of the beast instead. \n\nHumanity chooses worldly powers..which leads to wrongful action (sin) over God, and justifies it by saying 'This is the way I was created so I can't change.' Our society is living proof of this lie.

Do you mean to sacrifice to achieve the happiness you deserve? That would be 'my' opinion, anyway. To work hard and save money, not spending money on every little thing I don't need, that is an example of what I mean. That you added 'you deserve' is an interesting thing. A lot of people seem to think they deserve something 'without' sacrificing.

I've never trusted humans ever since I was a child so I have always thought for myself. Humans just need to realize they have a brain that is there to determine good from bad and stop following everyone elses ideas.\n\nFree thinking is a great feeling to have, I wouldn't ever let anyone change my way of thinking. Open the mind and see all.\n\nI've never liked following others because I have no idea where they are leading me, better to be out front and decide your own path.

I'd rather be good cause I believe in the thing called Karma. As they say: "what goes around comes around." So, when you do good, good comes back to you.\n\nHowever, there are times in a man's life when doing a bit of evil could bring much good. This is what I call, a sacrifice.

We are attuned & conditioned to act a certain way on the society which would have nothing to do with what one wants to really do. For Ex: When you have lost a dear one, you stand brave & accept everyone's condolescenses & convey your gratitude coz your are taught to do that. You would at that time wish they would all disappear & you give you some privacy.

No, what that verse says is that everyone will bear his own sin. In other words, they will answer for whatever they do. It does not say no sacrifice is needed.\n\nThere is no sacrifice we can make that can purchase our salvation. For our salvation or redemption, no sacrifice is needed because Jesus was the perfect sacrifice, he was crucified for all of us, all we have to do is to come under his covering, accept the sacrifice was made for us and believe the sacrifice has washed away all our sins. \n\nBut as Christians and believers in God's word, we will continue to make sacrifices. Jesus said he that lays he hands to the plow and looks back is not fit for the kingdom. He that forsake father, mother, daughter, son etc for the sake of the kingdom will be rewarded in heaven, Luke.9:59-62.

It is very human to need to feel better than in order to feel equal to. In other words, we subconsciously want to forget our own flaws and by noticing or imagining other people's flaws it makes us feel that we are better than them and o.k. about ourselves. So no, not in this life. But Jesus said that the meek will inherit the earth, so someday in his kingdom, things will be different.

good question. God gave us freewill, that means we can do whatever we want to it means your free to shoot the next person you see and God won't intervene, it sounds harsh but God wants us to be humans and not robots. but there's consequences to everything we do, we destroy the earth with our sin, sin doesn't just effect each other it effects everything around us, animals, birds, weather etc etc. God gave us freewill so we'd come to him willingly, he doesn't want to force himself on us...that's not love. He loves us enough to give us a choice to follow him or to not follow him. God hates what is going on in the earth, but he does intervene when needed. the tsunami for example, loads of people helped out with that in a world without God no one would care because why should we ?? without God it's survival of the fittest, it's kill or be killed there's no point in life pretty much. anyway God doesn't allow pain and suffering in heaven there will be none. our sin is the cause of pain and suffering.

Because that would make everyone in the world more greedy.  If everything was free, people would think there was no problems, but there would be.  It's true when people say money makes the world go 'round, because there would be no love for other people.  People would just care about the free stuff, not each other and their health.  Does that answer your question?

Becasue the world is that way and people succumb to the world instead of seeking out Jesus.

Coz.. we dont like to lose anything.. we want it all.. and thats because humans are greedy. They want everything. They are never satisfied with one single thing...

We all have free will - the ability to make choices, good or bad.  Many misuse this gift and choose to  hurt others.  Some, for whatever reason, don't seem to care who they hurt.  Some believe they are doing it for a good reason (like in war).\n\nWe can't control what other people choose to do.  From your question, it sounds like you are the sort that will choose to be kind to others. ;-)

Just thing of it this way.  When it comes to looking at things in terms of consequences and rewards, everyone is near sided.  We can only see what will happen in the short run.  We look at things we know to be wrong but we cannot see the destruction that awaits for us on the horizon.  Things that are good for us, on the other hand, have their rewards hiding out of our sight.  If we could only see a bit farther into the future, we would know that nothing that is bad for us actually feels good.
