Avarice
Strange word.. I am wondering how many times I  have read that word without  actually  knowing the meaning.. today I looked it up.. and it is about time. (excuse: no dictionary), but that is one that is no longer valid. I  have one in my smartphone to help  me with my spelling.
Avarice as a word actually  describes the world I live in and helped create. 'In what I have done and what I have failed to do!'   if nothing else look up the meaning of a word I didn't understand,  pretending  that I  knew and understood what was being said.
The world or reality in which I live is a world filled with avarice to which I must  plead guilty of contributing to its creation.  I  just purchased a new smartphone for  the simple reason I  wanted a new phone to fulfill my greed.. I easily found reasons to justify my personal greed.
Avarice is consuming our western christian culture. while claiming  to  be believers  and followers  of the great teacher Jesus.. as I justify my separation greed and need for things that tend to separate me from  truly  following  the spiritual truths I have found and claim to hold dear.

Has  anyone  found my sign that reads "REPENT!"? I  seemed to have lost  it.

ah
