There is a small percentage of human beings who view other peoples’ tragedies as their opportunity. They are called plunderers. They apparently never stop to consider the suffering that the other may already be experiencing. They care only about themselves and believe that they must take what they want, not realizing that we live in an abundant universe. They judge others by what they perceive so if they perceive that another has more than they do, they justify theft as a means to get what they want. This would include the large number of people who are addicted to drugs and who would throw any sense of moral right or wrong that they may have had, out the window, in order to get their “fix.”
We are all beginning to feel the pressures of rising prices at the gas pump, due to the war between Russia and Ukraine. The price of groceries have been going higher and higher from the lingering effects of COVID. The ensuing panic at its onset, that caused a buying frenzy of toilet paper and other essential items, may have only been a sampling of what is to come. In recent days those with a hoarder or “taker” mentality are siphoning gasoline from vehicles that do not belong to them. They perceive that those with full gas tanks are better off than they are, but their perception is often yards away from the truth. A woman may be working two jobs to feed her children, making it necessary for her to have a full tank of gas. Another person may need to make regular doctor appointments or attend the funeral of a family member. The person they steal from might be on a limited income with only enough gas to last them for a month at a time. A man informed me yesterday that he had just had his car stolen, along with his wallet and driver’s license and credit cards – and his service dog! The takers; however, do not care about those they steal from.
Things could get worse. They could get much, much worse. We need to be diligent about locking our doors and keeping a close eye on our own and our neighbors homes and vehicles. More importantly, we must resist falling into fear. F.E.A.R. is a trap of false evidence appearing real. We can surround ourselves with protective light and remember, always, that God alone is our Source. That which is rightfully ours cannot be taken from us. Everything we have in life is a gift. Our attitude of gratitude will ensure our continual supply, regardless of the “takers” in the world.
