When we Are-Not-Careful we honor the Concentrations of: Possessions, Luxuries, Wealth, Power, Controls, Dichotomies and Polarizations. We confuse Virtues and Vices considered Just-One-at-a-Time in Idolatrous-Ways rather than considering Mutually-Complementary Clusters-of- Virtues in terms of Net-Gain for the Whole-Crew of God's Space-Ship-Earth orbiting Just-One-Very-Average-Star out of God's Trillions of such Just-Very-Average-Stars; in Enduring-Ignorance about the Unique-Details of virtually all stars and planets. Most people's god --- is a god of just their spec-of-a- planet in God's-Cosmos which is more immense than can be imagined; and is Still-Getting-Bigger Beyond-Imagination.
