Lecture someone else, penny. I am quite happy with my life and have been amply rewarded by God. If you wish to be philosophical ... I am more concerned about whether I am on His side, than whether He is on my side. Let me add this, some things I believe He requires are honesty, integrity and fidelity in our dealings with our fellow men and women. As I understand it, you have broken a bond of confidentiality with a certain person and used the information gained for your own advantage. You violated a trust without regard to the consequences to anyone else, putting your own interests first. There is no honesty, integrity nor fidelity in that. IMO, you have shown that your own interests take precedence over personal integrity; a common, but serious, character flaw. I choose to associate and converse with those whom I can trust. Wallow away, penny ... on your own.
