Nobles Oblige

Is a French word meaning: "The obligation of those more fortunate to help those less fortunate".

When you become a success "however that happens in your life" you have an obligation to life to help others in any good way you can.

Success can mean many things. For example if you have good mental and physical health and time you can find ways to help others. If you have money you might start a scholarship for children similar to yourself and your ethnic group or religion or even with the same color eyes or hair naturally you were born with.

Many people do things like this because they can. Helping others in various ways makes your life more meaningful too.

For example, in college when I was the most wishing to die I decided to "soldier up" and stay alive anyway and to volunteer in "Operation Share" which at that time was through colleges where you tutor younger people in subjects so one day they can go to college too. I also counseled people who were fighting suicide like myself. It is difficult to ferret out why people aren't happy here on earth often. It might not be how you think at all. So, for example, for me, it was that I couldn't do exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I was always extremely intelligent but then I hit my head rock climbing at 9 and so even though I was intelligent still I couldn't survive the stress of tests. Worrying about taking a test often would give me a seizure at night. So, from 10 to 15 years of age (especially 12 to 15) my grades suffered and I went from a straight A student to a C or sometimes even a D student because of my illness. Then when my seizures stopped suddenly when I asked God to come into my body and live with me my grades became all B's and As after that in High School and college after about age 15, especially in the last year of high school at the "I AM" School in Santa Fe, New Mexico from October 1966 until May of 1966 when I graduated High School there, which was a church private school. Because I started dating a 21 year old at age 16 from my church I grew up too fast in some ways and wanted to drop out of high school in the beginning of my senior year of High School. But, my parents convinced me to travel away from home to a boarding school in Santa Fe where it snowed and was cold unlike Los Angeles where I grew up from 6 to 17 years of age. So, this last year of High school was amazing and changed completely the trajectory of my life. It also helped me stay out of the draft so I didn't have to go to Viet Nam or into the military too which was helpful to me at that time too because as an 18 year old if I had been drafted likely I would have gone and not returned from there in one piece. So, God was watching out for me then and now.

But, from those God looks favorably on God also expects a lot from. So, I have tried to give back to everyone because God has blessed me so much in my life.
