Go up one level in this thread


Lets suppose that Bernardo Wesler is the author of something really interesting.

To be a nice guy, he decides to let us try it under the following conditions:
1.  You can use it for the rest of your life if you like.
2.  It will be available for a limited time of 24 hours.  After that, you can't
get it anymore.

Now, some guy named Vasik Rajlich starts to give your invention away in
violation of the agreement after the 24 hours have passed.

Do you like it or not?

What would you want Vasik Rajlich to do under those circumstances?
To continue to give it away or to stop doing it?

Today's situation reminds me of this passage:
(2 Timothy 3:1-7) But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to
deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers,
without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong,
puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having
a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn
away.
