Incentive Plan

A while ago a few friends decided it was time to lose those extra lbs that they had put on over the past few years and so they came up with an incentive plan to get them to actually start on the goals that they had determined......so the other day at Kingman they were talking about it and me being the lazy me jumped in on it.....I now had a goal.....that I would actually work for.....hehe laziness and me...but then it started me thinking about how as humans we tend to not do things just because we don't like it just because we are not getting anything out of it....and as far as I see it every single human being on this earth is the same way.......but how is it that we are this way? were we just made this way or have human beings just become more selfish over the thousands of years? Now think of this where would we all be if God felt the same way about human beings? He created us in his image, and when man started becoming selfish and sinning, it would have been way easier for him to get rid of us and start over and made a whole new creation. But no, he put up with us and still does and gets nothing out of it.....and to top it all the even sent us his own son to die for us.......what is he getting out of all this?? i mean other than an intense pain that we are such selfish beings that care for no one else other than ourselves....It just doesn't make sense to me at all....being in the know of such things how is it that we are still this way...do we not have a conscience? or have we become so comfortable with sinning and being selfish that it makes no sense to do otherwise.....it scares the hell out of me that we are going to die someday....today? tomorrow? or maybe even a hundred years from now....and when you do end up at the pearly gates he will send you to hell and don't you think that as a parent he is going to be happy doing it? because he did try his best....don't you think? and we just didn't get it???? or were we to engrossed with ourselves that we missed the point???
