Hard work isn’t synonymous with financial security or success.
But there’s less of a guarantee on either of the two if your plan is to wait for them to arrive in the post.
Of course if Mum and Dad can afford to pay for postage and packaging then (in some cases) the story is different.
But I wouldn’t deem that to be your own success or your own financial security.
It’s a gift that, too often, is heavily taken for granted.

Let’s say that science is the alpha and omega, the A and Z, the beginning and the end.
Wikipedia says that:
99% of the mass of the human body is made up of the six elements oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium. All are necessary to life.

Q:Do you believe in hell?
Yes.
Which begs the question that if the God I believe in is all-loving and all-powerful, then why is there evil in the world?
The simple answer is that wherever evil is dominant, God definitely isn’t.
But that doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. Each one of us chooses who or what directs our life - whether that be a God, money, work, friends etc. and that in itself is something that can change.
Ultimately, God is always loving and wanting us. It’s us that have the problem with always loving and wanting God.

Being good and well-behaved doesn’t mean you’re sorted and saved and off to heaven.
