My observation is that, it is easier to make a decision for the older 50+ trads as compared to younger trads....the struggle is centered around a) employment b) Travel ( trains , buses, flights) c) economic sustainability and d) Educational opportunities
See? it's all about being pragmatic. 100% practical, 0% principles.
I'm part Irish, and much more Irish by culture (how I was raised). So I can certainly appreciate a down-to-earth or practical attitude.
HOWEVER, you have to draw the line. The saints weren't "practical" -- they did everything they could to reduce their chance of going to Hell as close to 0 as possible, and increase their chances for heaven as high as possible. They were the smart ones.
I'd rather my children live unsatisfied, unfulfilled lives far below what they're capable of, as long as they end up in heaven.
On the other hand, if they fully reached their top potential -- developed and honed all they were given by God and genetics -- but ended up worldly, and ultimately in Hell -- then WHAT GOOD WAS IT that I was a father to several highly-paid and/or famous professionals? Who cares!Or if one of my children takes "the jab" so he can attend Med School to become a doctor, only to die of complications a few years later? Or maybe he doesn't die, but he's just permanently disabled? Or sterilized? What the hell good is all that doctor money going to do him? That is to say, if he even sees the first dollar of it.
Economic considerations, educational opportunities -- those are fine and dandy, when we're not in a godless Communist dystopia. They are nice EXTRAS at best. But in today's world, those might be luxuries we just can't afford. Not at the price of our souls. You think everyone born on earth "deserves" or has a "right" to those things you listed? God doesn't seem to think so. Who are we to criticize God?
