Selfish People: Stoicess & Professor Weekly Touch-Base
Manage episode 419908770 series 2897892
You’re at the coffee stand at the office and can see into the copy room across the hall.
What caught your eye was a coworker who entered the room with a single sheet of paper in her hand while both copy machines were taken by colleagues who were making several copies.
The coworker appeared impatient and one of the colleagues asked if the coworker only needed to make one copy. The coworker said, “Yes”, and the colleague moved out of the way for a minute.
However, it took longer than a minute for the coworker to make that one copy. The coworker initially made the one copy, and then said, “I just realized I need to fax the page to another”, then decided they needed several copies of the original for distribution at the upcoming meeting, followed by needing to send faxes to several people.
Needless to say, the event continued after you had finished your coffee, and on leaving the area you noticed the “nice” colleague shaking her head in apparent disbelief over what was happening.
In this webinar, we discuss individuals from the Bible who put their own desires over others to the point of committing heinous acts. The need to have it “their way” was so important, that the death of another to get what they wanted was trivial in their eyes.
It’s a lesson of how God will step in and even the score when go too far with our selfishness.
