At the same time, the skill of these people, the morals of these people, and the availability of these people when we need them cannot be attributed solely to themselves.
The good in ourselves is a reflection of what God has made us to be, and at the same time is entirely ours because we made the decision to reach our maximum potential in any aspect. God picks up form there and is instrumental in providing the resources, the other people, and the opportunity to become who we are.
I call bullshit. MAJOR bullshit.
