Matthew 7:12 The Golden Rule: Do unto others, as you would want them to do to you.
This would also mean that we would not want bad things to happen to others.
I also don't think that we would want to be laughed at when we crash or fall down.

A television show called "America's Funniest Videos", and many YouTube videos display people laughing when people fall off of a ladder, have a swimming pool accident or some other type of fall/crash. They also show people laughing when cats fall off of furniture, etc. In many of these videos, it's obvious that real injury is possible.
I have never been able to laugh as such dangerous events. Injury isn't funny. Accidents are not funny.
My wife feels the same way. It's not funny.
I never understood why people like to see people get hurt.
Today we will examine this.

Schadenfreude is a German word that originates from the two words "joy" and "harm". It's the experience of pleasure, joy, or self-satisfaction that comes from learning of or witnessing the troubles, failures, or humiliation of another person.

Schadenfreude has been detected in children as well as adults.

Matthew 24:12 Love Wax (Increase) Cold

Romans 12 (Entire chapter)
:15 Mourn with those those mourn, and rejoice when they rejoice.

Proverbs 24:17–18 Rejoice not when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles: Perhaps the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

Ezekiel 33:11 God doesn't really want to punish people. He would prefer that people repent.

If we are visiting someone at their home, and they have to punish their rebellious child, we are glad that the parents correctly discipline their children, but we don't laugh at the children for being punished. We don't laugh or rejoice at the punishment.
We should apply this same principal toward wicked people who bring death or destruction upon themselves, or when God punishes them.
The bible speaks about how that in the last 41.5 days of Wrath, that the wicked will suffer horribly from their sins of worshipping stones and demons, etc. We are glad that God punishes the wicked children. But we don't laugh or rejoice at the punishing. God would rather see them repent and we also would rather see them repent. We would rejoice over the repentance, not the punishment.

What I am talking about today is actually laughing at innocent people when they fall or crash, as if it's funny. I am not talking about being glad that the enemy failed in their pursuit of evil, or got fired, or got what was due/deserving to them.
We are not happy that Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked with a hammer. Even as many conservative leaders are condemning the attack. We are not like the Democrats who rejoice when Republicans are attacked or injured.

We also don't rejoice when someone sins.

However, we do rejoice in the fact that most Twitter employees are being fired and losing their jobs, as this helps to restore our freedom of speech and the distribution of truth. They can get new jobs at McDonald's, Taco Bell, Facebook, Pinterest, PayPal, etc. They won't suffer by being fired from Twitter.

It's acceptable to be glad when an evil nation/president loses a war. Or when an evil person loses an election. I will rejoice greatly when/if the Democrats loose their jobs by losing their control of congress on Nov. 8, if they don't cheat to keep control. But they are all millionaires and won't suffer by losing their seats in congress. No person will be injured or harmed by these millionaires losing their jobs. It would be a great victory for America. Although, only a symbolic victory, because Biden won't sign into law any legislation passed by the new Republican congress.

But I did not rejoice when a local man died, who had previously been my friend. He was a Democrat who absolutely refused to believe that Obama was evil or that the Democrat party is evil. He would not listen to reason. I had to dis-fellowship from him and told him to never return to me until he repents. I don't regret saying that. I made the right decision.
But it saddened me when he died in sin. I'm sure that he was probably vaccinated since he was so gullible to the Democrats.
I'm sure that he was probably a victim of his parents' brainwashing.

I believe that there are several things that are causes of people laughing at people when they fall/crash:

1. Adults trying to make children laugh by acting like they are injured or hurt. We need to not do that! It's teaching them to laugh at people getting injured.

It is childish behavior to laugh when someone else falls.

2. "Slap-stick" comedy of people hitting people and people tripping and falling. Such as “The 3 Stooges”. Programmed by Hollywood. It's a childish type of comedy.

If it's yourself and you laugh at yourself, it's because you're embarrassed, or you though that it was silly that you wasn't being careful. That's different and is acceptable to laugh at yourself.

It could be a subconscious mechanism for reducing the perceived seriousness (and hence long term mental reaction) of an accident. Nevertheless, we need to control our reactions.

Also possible: In school, it was the "cool" thing to laugh at other people's unfortunate accidents. A little kid falls and a group of "tough" kids laugh, so some other kids, wanting to distance themselves from the person being laughed at, join in.
As we mature, we no longer do that. So it's also a matter of maturity in this situation.

I never understood the mentality of people who at school would cheer on a fight. They wouldn't know who started the fight, who was the victim or the aggressor. They would just automatically cheer on the fighting. It's demonic!

People would fill the Roman coliseums and cheer the killing of the victim by the gladiator or lion. Why would anyone cheer that? It's demonic!

People shouldn't make fun of people with Down Syndrome. They shouldn't call them “retarded”, etc. People should treat people the way that they themselves would want to be treated.

We shouldn't laugh at other people's misfortune.

Oct. 26, 2022 (1st day of 8th biblical month)

1 Peter 2:5-10 We should honor God by proclaiming his greatness.
We should worship him in praise, and by our testimonies.
:9 SO THAT YOU MAY = SO THEN,

1 Cor. 14:39-40 Forbid not speaking in tongues.

Nehemiah 8:1-8
:2 Both men & women present.
:3 Their assembly for reading the bible was from sunrise until the middle of the day (maybe between noon to 6 pm). It wasn't just for one hour or less like more churches.
:4-5 Leaders stood on a raised platform. It's not wrong to do this, despite what some people have taught.
:5 When scriptures were opened to be read, the people stood. I'm not saying that it's required. But it's interesting how much more respect that ancient people gave to the scriptures.
:6 The congregation raised their hands. It's acceptable!
The people cheered and spoke. It's acceptable. Not have to be silent!
The people also worshipped with their forehead to the ground. It's acceptable!

Book of Songs:
Psalm 100 (Entire chapter) Come into the worship service with praises for God. Shouldn't be silent. It should be emotional.

Psalm 149 (Entire chapter)
:1 in the assembly of the saints. Not just when alone at home. But even during group worship services.
:3 sings = sing

Psalm 133 (Entire chapter) Brethren together
Psalm 134 (Entire chapter) Lifting up hands in praise in church services.
Psalm 135:1-5 Verse 4 similar to 1 Peter 2.

Eccles. 12:9-14 Knowledge, study and understanding is very important.
But what's more important is worship of God.
:13 "fear" means deep reverence/honor toward God. It includes obedience, but also worship.
It is the leaders, administration of the church, that are strong enough to handle the larger amount of research and study. Most people can't handle the amount/degree of research that the leaders can handle. Most people don't have their level of discernment about what to avoid, etc.
Although of course, the preacher promotes and encourages some research and study, but there are many people who do too much study and poison themselves with satanic books/websites.

Romans 10:13-21 There must be preachers/teachers. There must be sermons.
:21 obstinate = (correction to what I said)
obstinate = argumentative/disputing/anti-speech people.

Proper formal church services format:
-Worship by song, dance, musical instruments, raised hands, heads to the floor, etc.
-Then allowing each person that wants to, to sing/play or testify alone.
-Then worship by prayer.
-Then worship by sermon by the pastor or deacon, people listening to the biblical teaching. During this time, people can also worship by raising hands, saying "Amen" or "praise God", "praise Jesus", "Eleluje", etc., bowing heads to the ground, etc.
-Then worship by having a question & answer session. And by allowing each person to share testimonies, prophecies, additional songs and speaking in tongues.

Gatherings where there is no main pastor/deacon presenting a sermon, but rather only each and any person sharing anything they want, without a main authority person to approve or disapprove of the teaching, is not biblical and is a playground for Satan.

1 Thes. 5:19-20 Gatherings where they forbid speaking in tongues, raised hands, amen's, etc, are also not of God and are forbidding the movement of God.
-Often, speaking in tongues includes prophecy. This is how the word "prophesying" became a word for speaking in tongues.

When we say that there are no prophets or apostles today, we deny the speaking of God and movement of God in modern times. God always spoke through his prophets and apostles. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, He doesn't change and has always used prophets in every generation. We need worship leaders, pastors, apostles, prophets to lead us in the way of truth.

In most "Baptist" churches in America, the fake worship services seem more like a formal funeral for a rich person, rather than worship. There's no emotion. Nothing heartfelt. Same with all Catholic and Lutheran churches worldwide.

Oct. 22, 2022

Ephesians 5:5-17
:11 Not only not partake in their wicked works, but also expose them.
This includes Halloween, false doctrines, liberal politics, immaturity, legalism, not putting God first, etc.

But before you can "expose" or rebuke anyone, you must first learn correct doctrine, because most "Christians" are full and overflowing with wrong doctrine based upon traditional legalism and traditional religion.
So it's not good to be exposing and rebuking before baptism in truth, nor during your first few months after baptism in truth, while you are still learning a lot!

2 Timothy 4:1-5
The Apostle Paul told Pastor Timothy to rebuke people.

It's mostly the job of the church administration, male leadership to rebuke people.
But also each person is responsible for telling their own families and friends the truth, and when necessary, to rebuke them.
But it is the church leadership who is responsible for telling strangers, evangelizing to the world.

Rebuking isn't fun or enjoyable for either side, the church leadership or the church membership, or for any of the new people. But correction and rebuke is a necessary thing.
Longsuffering, gentleness has its place & time. But there's also a time for harsh rebuke and harsh criticism.
Soft, gentle counseling is not always the best approach.
People must be tested by God through the church leadership.
It must be determined who is really, truly committed to the truth and to God and to the church; and who is not.

Isaiah 58:1
"Cry" = "shout"
Blow the trumpet, spare not. Sound the alarm, tell my people their sins.
Church members don't like being told their sins, or to be confronted with their own sins. But it's important for the leadership to point out sin to help those people come to realize their faults, so that they can change, and repent and improve.
If I don't hold/put people to a high degree of accountability, who will?

Another topic/subject that I spoke about in this sermon, unplanned, but moved by The Holy Ghost:
Not every person is called to teach or to be a leader.
There's many different spiritual gifts of The Holy Ghost. Not every person has the same gifts, skills or callings. Even if a person has a skill, doesn't automatically mean that they are called for it.
And even if a person is called for leadership or teaching, they must first humble themselves and keep quite and learn. A spiritual master can't be a master until he has learned to be a slave. A leader can't lead until he has learned to serve. I spent my time in the rear seats of the churches and kept my mouth shut even when I already knew much more than the pastors. Yet I still learned.
Respect should be given to the elders of the true church.
Too many people want to be leaders and teachers when they are not truly called for such. As the old phrase/saying/proverb says "Too many chiefs, not enough Indians".
If a person is not called to teach or to lead, or even if they are called for such, but are early in their calling and learning, then the best method to witnessing is simply only sharing the ministry links and ministry fliers/tracts. Not teaching, but rather only sharing. This is the best way also for wives and women. Just share links and tracts/fliers and articles. Don't teach if you are not called to teach. Not teach yet if called, until you grow enough and learn enough and mature enough. There's exceptions, but this is generally how it should be.

I also was told several times in my life, from older, wise people, that old people have the right to complain and to be grumpy. They were correct!
My age has correctly made me less patient, as I can't tolerate the bull crap as much as I could when I was younger.
There should be a limit to patience. There is definitely a limit to God's patience. There's a time for long suffering with much patience. But also a time to immediately, and harshly rebuke.
I'm not a young dude anymore. I've been to "hell" and back many times. I have much experience. I know what I am doing.
As an apostle and prophet of God, not just a pastor, I have even more duty to exercise harsh criticism and rebuke, more so than other pastors and other Christians, because of my calling.
Again, people must be tested by God through the church leadership.
It must be determined who is really, truly committed to the truth and to God and to the church; and who is not.

Reminder: Worship services Wednesday Oct. 26 at 11 a.m. Eastern Time Zone for the 1st day of the 8th biblical month.

Reminder: Please fast at some time on or/and before Halloween.
We are fasting for Jesus to please make a way of escape for someone who would be in danger of being/becoming a victim of Halloween occult sacrifice or torture.
Also for our families/friends to come to the realization of how demonic Halloween is and stop compromising.

If there ever was a time for harsh rebuke from the membership, not just only from pastors and leaders, but also from the congregation themselves, to family and friends, it's now at Halloween time. We must make a very solid, firm stand against such extreme wickedness that we see in the devil's day.

Oct. 17, 2022 (22nd day of 7th biblical month)
Last Great Day 2022

2 Cor. 4:16-18 to 5:10 Momentary (temporary) light affliction
Our physical bodies are temporary tents.
At the 1st resurrection, we will receive spiritual bodies, which are reserved for us in Heaven.
The Holy Ghost is a pledge of that spiritual body that we can receive.
We are already spirits inside of flesh. But these verses seem to indicate that we'll receive an outer shell spiritual body.
5:10 The word "all" needs to be changed to "each individual".
I don't see any hard evidence that the people of the 1st resurrection will stand at a judgment seat to be judged. The 1st resurrection people would have already been judged by their lives to enter into the 1st resurrection. They are already judged by the time they resurrect.

1 Peter 1:1-9 Trials are more valuable than gold
:3 We are born again now at baptism. It's not something that occurs at the time of resurrection.
:4 refers to 2 Cor. 5:1-2
1 Peter 1:7 precious = VALUABLE

Heb. 11 (Entire chapter) afflictions and trials toward the finish line of the new city Jerusalem.

Oct. 15, 2022 (20th day of 7th biblical month)
6th day of Fiesta of Tabernacles

It's a secret only because traditional pastors/Christians don't know about it.
But it's no secret to people who really believe the bible and actually read it.

Matthew 19:27 to 20:16
1st and 2nd harvests/resurrections.
Regeneration = next life

Matthew 25:31-46 Great White Throne Judgment at the end of the 1,100 years.

John 3:1-16 Unless a person is born again by water baptism, they can't inherit the Kingdom (receive eternal life.)
This absolutely can't be talking about being born at a resurrection, because most people don't die from drowning, so there's no water in reference to any resurrection, except only people who did drown.
Context shows that being "born again" is in reference to salvation in this life, to accepting the crucifixion of Jesus as atoning for our sins.
Also verse 13 proves that Enoch, Elijah, David, the other ancient saints and our families and friends have not yet gone to Heaven. Heb. 11:13, 39-40
Acts 2:34

John 10 Jesus is the only way.
Dying as a baby isn't a way to enter Heaven or Paradise.

Rev. 19:11 to 20:6
The phrase "1st resurrection" proves that there will be a 2nd resurrection.
The phrase "2nd death" proves that there will be a 2nd life, referred to by Jesus in Matthew 19 as "the next life".
The fact that Satan is released from his prison after the 1,000 years, to deceive the nations again, proves that there will be another life.

Isa. 65:15-20 The "short time" in Revelation 20 identified as exactly 100 years. Context is very clear that this 100 years is directly/immediately before the time of Paradise. There's no other possible time frame that it could be talking about.

Oct. 10, 2022 (15th day of 7th biblical month)

1 Kings 8:1 to 9:9 The 1st Temple, built by King Solomon.
8:2 Athanin = 7th month (Most translations also say that it was at the "feast" (of Tabernacles.)
The 1st Temple was dedicated at the Fiesta of Tabernacles!

Today, after much work on our new sanctuary, we do our main/public dedication of the sanctuary. That shows how powerful the presence of Jesus is in this ministry!
This also reminds me of the miracle of Hanukkah of 2015, when we held our 1st worship services of that "new" ministry building on the day just before Hanukkah. We didn't even realize it, because we were not yet observing it.

And when we started this current new sanctuary project, we didn't plan on completing it on the day just before the Fiesta of Tabernacles, and having the main dedication on the first day of Tabernacles. We were just trying to get it done before the fiesta. But without any knowledge of the fact that the 1st Temple was dedicated at the timing of the fiesta!

Connections between Hanukkah and Fiesta of Tabernacles:
-Miracle timing of our 2 sanctuaries (the 1st one and this second one.)
-2 Maccabees 2:1-19, especially verses 9 & 12, says that Solomon did 8 days of dedication. Maccabees equates that to being connected to Tabernacles because their Hanukkah celebration of the restoration and dedication of the 2nd Temple was also, at the same time, their "2nd chance" way of observing the Fiesta of Tabernacles, because they were having to hide during Tabernacles.

Because of the statement in Maccabees that Solomon observed the same 8 days of dedication, I thought, and taught, that Solomon observed an older form of Hanukkah.
In a way, yes he did, since it was 8 days of dedication of a temple.
But since now we know that it was actually Tabernacles, we now come to understand more accurately, and also now see connections between these 2 fiestas.

Also the parts and furniture for the "Tabernacle of Witness" of the time of Moses (the traveling Temple in the wilderness), were finished being made on the date of Hanukkah.

This current new sanctuary had previously fallen into horrible conditions from previous occupants. Reminds me of the fallen conditions of the temples.

1 Kings 6:38 (found before verse 2 in the LXX/AOB) says that the temple was finished in the 8th month.
But yet, it wasn't dedicated until the Fiesta of Tabernacles 11 months later!
That's incredible! Why would that be?
It must be because of the fact that the Fiesta of Tabernacles won't be much celebrated on Earth in the final year of the Great Tribulation (same situation as the time of Maccabees, and both persecutions by Antiochus/Antichrist/Assad), since the saints get caught up on The Day of Atonement, therefore Zech. 14 can't be fulfilled until 11 months after Jesus returns to Earth in the 8th month. (It will take the 11 months to repair, clean and prepare Jerusalem. 7 of which to remove dead bodies. Ezek. 39.)
Therefore that 1st Tabernacles on Earth during the Millennium, will also be a great dedication!

(Miracle: Brother Jared then pointed out during the worship services, that we have lived here in this house for 11 months! It took 11 months to get the roof fixed and get the sanctuary up and going! This is such an incredible miracle timing!)

We now also see Tabernacles representing renewal & dedication of temples, in relation to Hanukkah. (In addition to the other multiple meanings & symbolisms of the fiesta.

2 Mac. 10:6
2 Mac. 1:18

And we now also see Hanukkah has being a 2nd chance Tabernacles, in addition to all of its other significant meanings.

Oct. 8, 2022 (13th of 7th biblical month)

The word "tabernacles" is the big clue to the meaning of the holy day fiesta week of Tabernacles.
A tabernacle is dwelling place.
And how they celebrated the fiesta in the bible is also a clue.
They built temporary booths/tabernacles/shelters.
Therefore, the Fiesta of Tabernacles is about temporary dwelling, which could also be considered as transitional dwelling places.

Other uses of the word "tabernacle" in the bible can give us more clues to the meaning of the fiesta.

John 1:1-14 Jesus came to tabernacle among us.
That means that Jesus came in the flesh, with his flesh being a temporary shelter for his soul, and in a temporary situation, not planning on staying.

The birth of Jesus was either during or near the Fiesta of Tabernacles, or Trumpets. We know this be calculating the birth of John the baptizer, and John's dad's time working in the temple.

Jesus was conceived 6 months after John the Baptist (Luke 1:36).
John’s dad Zechariah was a Levite. The Levites served in the Temple at specific times of the year, each term lasting one week. Zechariah was in the order of Abijah, so his first term of service for the year most likely took place in the 3rd month, with John’s conception taking place shortly thereafter.
The 9th biblical month of the year (December) would then mark Jesus’ conception, perhaps during Hanukkah.
John could have been born around Passover.
Six months later, we can expect to see the birth of Jesus in the 7th month.

Rev. 21:1-6 Jesus will return and He will be our temple. We will no longer need the temporary shelters of our bodies, homes, current cities, etc.

Heb. 11:8-10 Abraham was seeking to eventually enter Paradise, New Jerusalem.
Abraham, Isaac & Jacob lived in tents.

All verses and facts considered, the fiesta teaches us that everything is temporary until we reach Paradise. Then everything will be permanent.

Yet, there is still yet more meaning and symbolism:

Let's think about the holy day prophetic timeline at
https://www.isawthelightministries.com/dates.html

-Purim, Passover 5th seal
-Pentecost 6th seal
-Trumpets 7th seal
-Atonement 7th trumpet, saints caught up into Heaven only temporarily for the Marriage Supper.

Next would be the Fiesta of Tabernacles, which will occur while the saints are temporarily in Heaven.
Therefore, Heaven will be a temporary tabernacle for the church, the bride, therefore a honeymoon.
Jewish tradition is for the honeymoon to be 7 days!

But then there is yet another meaning!
Tabernacles is a harvest festival. And it's the last harvest of the year before cold weather comes.
Therefore Tabernacles also represents the 1,100 years after the 1st Resurrection. The 1,100 years includes the 2nd Resurrection, which is the last harvest.
The final 100 years after the 2nd Resurrection is a very temporary time era. And will be the largest harvest of souls ever.

And then the 8th day of the feast, the Last Great Day, represents Paradise and endless eternity.
The number 8 is a continuous loop.

Oct. 5, 2022 (The Day of Atonement. 10th day of 7th biblical month)

Lev. 23:26-32

Lev. 16:1-19 The 2 goats represent separation between lost people and righteous people.
Therefore The Day of Atonement has a theme of separation, wicked people being cast out, but salvation for the righteous.

The word "Atonement" means to calm God's anger by presenting a sacrifice.
The old "Worldwide Church of God" previously taught that it means "At-one-ment" because of the spelling. And although there is some truth to that claim, that explanation lacks the full meaning and also ignores half of the puzzle. For at-one-ment (reconciliation) to occur, there must be a payment for sin.
Whether it is the sacrifice of Jesus, or judgment on the wicked, there must be consequences of sin.
Lev. 16 shows that there must be separation between the wicked and the righteous.
In the 1st Resurrection on The Day of Atonement, when that separation occurs, the saints will be united with Christ in the marriage supper, while the wicked will continue to suffer judgment during the Wrath. The wicked will be sacrificed.
Both the reconciliation and the judgment will occur on the Day of Atonement.
Therefore the better definition of Atonement = Repay.
The wicked will be repaid for their wickedness. The saints will be repaid for their righteousness.

In the context of the day of the 1st resurrection on the Day of Atonement, there will be one year (before it) + 41.5 days after it, of which many extremely wicked people will be sacrificed/slaughtered by The Hand of God and by his holy angels & the 2 witnesses and his chosen military armies on Earth.

Rev. 19:1-9 Marriage Supper
"Righteousness according to the law" traditionally wrongfully translated to hide the fact that obedience to God is still required in the New Covenant time era.

Isa. 1:10-18 But "the law" isn't just commands. It's the natural law of Love/righteousness.
God says "I hate the feast days" because the people were doing the holy days just only by command, while being hypocrites and mistreating the poor, etc.
What God wants from us is what all of the law is based upon, how to correctly treat God and other people, which the law teaches us.

Isaiah 1 isn't saying to not observe God's commanded holy days. It's just saying that being a true Christian is much more than "requirements of law".

Oct. 1, 2022 (6th day of 7th biblical month)

Matt. 24:12 Because transgression of the law will increase, most people's love will grow cold. (KJV wax = increase.)
:13 But, the person who abides/endures/perseveres (in Jesus) to the end, that person will be saved.

Matt. 22:33-40 All of the law is based on love.
Love God and loving other people.
KJV "On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
AOB: On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets".

The word "hang" in the KJV is not referring to destruction or death. But rather preservation!
Context shows the need to keep the law. Not destroy it.
People not obeying God's laws is the problem, not the solution.

"J.O.Y."= Jesus first, (1st commandment, and first 4 commandments.)
O = Others next. (Other 6 commandments of the big 10.)
Y= Yourself last.

The great falling away is not just forsaking God and the truth, but also forsaking the true church members and true pastor.
When a person does either one, they forsake both.
You can't forsake God without also forsaking the church members.
You can't forsake church members without also forsaking Jesus. Matt. 25:33-46

Compare to 2 Thes. 2:3, The great falling away,
and to Heb. 10:23-39 The forsaking of the church members.
This includes not attending worship services (services can be online, that's acceptable), but it also includes forsaking church members, not participating in our groups, not emailing, not texting, not calling, ignoring the pastor or other members.

People don't realize that when they get saved/baptized, they are not just having their sins forgiven, but also they are actually, literally, joining the church.
They are born again into a new family, with new brothers & sisters.

Participating in church groups is not just about your obedience to the law & requirements.
But also about helping each other, supporting, encouraging each other.

If we live in the same nation, we should be calling/texting each other, or at least using MeWe, Telegram, WhatsApp or email to stay in communication with each other, not only with the pastor, but also with other members.
People in other nations can use such groups or email, even if they can't text or call.

Matt. 5:40-42 When someone asks you to do something, you should do that, and more.
When someone asks you to call and text someone who is in need to talk to someone, then that's what you should do.

Matt. 16:24-28 Deny yourself and take up your cross.

Some people's mentality is that they will improve their health by ignoring all of their brothers and sisters.
Such people don't consider anyone else's needs, but just only their own needs.

I've known many people with bad hearts, heart attacks, major heart surgeries, extreme cancer, etc, and those people were still able to pick up a phone!
They were still able to call their family!
Especially if they were asked to help someone in need!
