8. You have brought tears to my eyes.

(Getting a tissue.)

Okay then. I am distraught. My soul is downcast.

The powers that be WILL give an account whether or not it has sunk into their degenerate beings.

The least of these, His little sparrows, are watched carefully by their Eternal God.

It is an abomination to Him that they may be given substandard treatment, i.e. quality of food, proper and comfortable sleeping quarters, lack of immediate personal cleanliness. Sometimes we take two showers a day with shampooing!

And this disgraceful treatment of the 'least' of us is an abomination to me also.

Holy Scripture admonishes that "THE FIRST SHALL BE LAST, AND THE LAST FIRST".

But 'they' who go around displaying self-righteousness and vainglory are in for a huge surprise at the end of themselves if they neglect repentance and finally refuse to "abandon their iniquities".

The peace that passes understanding be unto you, my brother in humanity!
