Of the five primary flows from the active human
organism, none so often affects the human heart
than
the flow of money. On a daily basis, the
expenditure, the acquisition, the retention, and the
basic need for money commands motives and
reactions that proceed from the heart and impact
the lives of others.

A person's behavior with excess, with
wealth, easily
reveals the likelihood of
sanctification, or lack
thereof. An extremely generous person who also
lives
without behavioral vices is rare and saintly.

Philanthropy by those who are debauched and
criminal can be
essentially worthless. Sooner or
later, the philantropist has to answer for all financial
and sexual misconduct that may be covered up by
ostentatious giving.

A person's behavior with scarcity, with poverty,
reveals a
saintly person's uncommon contentment,
or too often the common envy and connivances of
desperate people who covet, steal, conspire, rebel,
rob, and kill to obtain other people's money or
property.

The feeling of blush, of passion, of desire, of
stress, or of pleasure is discernably observed when
viewing others, or felt in our own heart when
immersed with introspection; and all of this can
happen from a relatively small sum of money.

Blush can be caused by the embarassment of
insufficiency;
passion by the imminence of gain or
the proximity of other peoples' money;
desire by the
likelihood of gain in
gambling or investments, or an
increase in income or felony grand theft;
stress by
the hypertensive anticipation of loss; and
pleasure in
the secure flow of assets into one's protected estate.

Three variable flows of money proceed from us to
others, other than the moral obligation of providing
for immediate dependents, listed as follows:
1) Taxes
2) Donations
3) Gifts

God Loves a Cheerful Giver; many citizens are
angry about government taxation, others believe that
our taxes legitimately contribute to society's
quality
of life.
Philanthropic donations other than taxes, in
American society, are reported now at more than
$300
billion per year.

American
generosity from millions of saintly people
will be recorded in the annals of human history as a
primary attribute explaining, in part,
the flow of
power
, the God-given spiritual survivability of the
Western Civilization's Judeo-Christian USA.
