Met a guy today; Ben. He was a investment banker from Switzerland, yes. Switzerland. Isn't that where all the REAL banking gets done. Isn't that where the term - "Swiss bank account" comes from?
He told me, that an old Jewish man had told him, "that how he got around in desperate times was to use small, pure, gold coins. If you have a 1/2 a kilo brick; what good is that? You need me to able to pay for things in small amounts of gold. Loaf of bread here, a crossing there". "Small pieces of gold". He said, he buys some every month.
He was visiting his son, meeting the son's girlfriend in Harrisburg. He was the Easter Bunny; with Easter gifts. He would also visit his daughter, in Happy Valley.
Gold & silver vs. wisdom and understanding.
In those dark, dark times when you trade GOLD for bread, for safety. What does wisdom give you then? What does understanding gain you? It gains you peace. That is what it gains you. Peace of life. Peace of mind.
Tough call wouldn't you say?
Nick Lowe says; "what's so funny about peace, love and understanding"
God says, "For wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her"
doing what's right is not a tough call. PEACE.
