The phrase “to whom much is given much is required” is a line from the Bible, Luke 12:48.
It means that people are responsible for what they have, and that those who are blessed with talents, wealth, knowledge, or time should use those gifts to help others. The phrase can also be interpreted to mean that people should use what they have to help others, no matter how much or how little they have. For example, even if someone only has a smile to give to a sad person, or a welcoming embrace.

----------------------
Although I don't believe in any religion made by man, I understand and totally agree with what is said above.
I know I'm a very ordinary person, but I believe ordinary people do have the responsibility to rise up and speak out and act on occasions that require it. That is what makes our society a whole and better place for us all. Call me an idealist if you like, but that is what I learned from the very first book (Grimm's Fairy Tales) I read in life, that is still how I feel even after being through tough times. I also feel very lucky to have the freedom to do so where I am now.
None of us is perfect and I have my own flaws and weaknesses (you likely know some of those by now ;-). To me, life is not about greatness, but the little things we do each and every day, like to help a friend or neighbour in need, to give each other a pat on the back here in MYSJ ;-), to share a smile with a stranger, to talk to a dog on the street, etc.
Alright, let's finish it with a funny joke I got online this morning:
Q: Is Google male or female?
A: Female, because it doesn't let you finish a sentence before making a suggestion.
And now I understand why Apple chose Siri
Wish you all a happy Thursday.
