Inversion

As a Christian I have always believed in inversion. This is the idea of the weak made strong, the first shall be last. And I believe it not as wishful thinking but as reality and I look for it.

For instance:

Markets are a great example. Each person pursues their own greed and yet to do so the winner is the one that serves people the best.

Medicine in many cases is taking something that will hurt you in order to prevent something worse from hurting you.

I know many Christians get frustrated because we often don't understand why our opponents don't see reality but isn't inversion the problem. The world testifies to strength and power and corruption so they think that is God.

How could Jesus be God the saviour if you don't see the process of inversion in everything?

Strong borders make strong friends.

Walk softly but carry a big stick.

Dying to defeat death (see medicine for a practical example).

Live for nothing vs die for something.

Jesus is the stumbling stone for the proud and also the foundation stone for the humble.

Pivots and pulleys.

People that tey to save the world save no one but people that try to save the one can save the world.

I might move this list to my own member notes area.

Nuclear energy from breaking atoms.

Welfare creates poverty.

Individual rights trump group rights.

Abortion is a woman's right, more girls are aborted than boys.

I understand fight for peace - a good addition.

Also the ones preaching tolerance are often the most intolerant. Is that what you meant?

Minimum wage kills jobs and opportunities rather than providing.

Honestly, it's the very rich that probably have the most time to think. Second, would you listen to a poor persons advice or a rich persons?

If Serena Williams or I offered you tennis coaching who would you listen to?

Kinda, but only intolerant for the sake of tolerance. Much like fighting for peace.

Should you believe someone who wants to sell you a bridge?
