RE: Are Bill Gates an Angel or a Devil?

in #news • 4 years ago

Good morning🌄, my Korean friend. Up before the light of day and beginning it, starting with my latest dismay with translation issues somewhere, between us:

(1) "I'm taking a computer lecture by @roleerob's recommendation ..."

(2) "From the perspective of computer expert @roleerob ..."

As I have done a number of times in the past, I have no choice but do so again now. I never said the first and I have never claimed the second.

Giving you grace, I certainly believe you have honestly come to these conclusions based upon some misunderstanding(s) of whatever translation aide you are using, between my English and your Korean.

To address each, in attempting again to help you overcome them:

  1. The focus of my comments in the past have been regarding details of writing posts. And the need to understand the technical details associated with this. In general, I would encourage you or anyone to reach whatever level of skill you can. Like any profession, the more you know and work at it, the better you become.

    At a glance at the image you have provided, this is not any course in HTML, so it has nothing to do with our past conversations ...

  2. I have a considerable amount of knowledge about computers. I have made my living with them, in many respects for the last half of my career. So, very likely I know more about them than many. But an expert? I know enough to know who I would classify as an expert and would never make that claim about myself.

To the point of your post, I have very little to add to the comments of my countryman, @valued-customer. The power that Bill Gates has managed to accrue over his long life was only based, in the beginning, on having some coding skills. But absolutely not the source of his wealth, nor his power. I won't elaborate, but agree with @valued-customer that many books have been written by others on the topic.

Why so many books? You and I know (or should) the answer. Man admires those who have what they themselves do not. Jealousy, envy, and all manner of the "fundamentals" of our broken human nature follows this ...

Bottom line #1: There is nothing about the life of Bill Gates I wish to emulate.

Bottom line #2: Your post highlights the "ancient path" of man's determination to continue to create "false gods" and will ultimately suffer the consequences accordingly. As they always have. And as they always will. Just a reinforcement of the nature of the spiritual war our lives represent and how man is always going to lose, apart from his submission and surrender to the only power greater ...
