Human Resource: Cog in a Machine

The term human resource makes man out to be a mere expendable machine. He is nothing more than a cog in a machine.  This mentality is why we immediately start asking people for something without even acknowledging their humanity (that is being made in the image of God). Instead of at least saying hello, we just rattle off a list of demands. No 'thank you' or 'you're welcome'.  After all, I don't say 'thank you' to my computer when it works, so, assuming that people are merely evolved machines, why should I acknowledge those more complex machines we call human beings?

When man abandoned the Biblical worldview, he left himself in a state of misery.  In his attempt to become liberated from God and live in autonomous indulgence, he diminished his value to nothing.  Before, he was created in the image of God; now he is but an expendable part that is worthless once it cannot produce any more. This is the end of evolution: a black hole of despair, which is the focal point of government education.

However, God does sit on the throne, and man does have value because he is made in the image God. Therefore, show respect to those around you by acknowledging their presence before giving them a laundry list of things you 'need' them to do.

In saying that, it is a reminder that our loyalty must be towards God, His Church, and our families first. All else tends to view man as a mere machine.  Truly, will your corporation or government employer be there for comfort when you are in ailing health or on your death bed?  No, so be careful where your highest loyalty and commitment lies.
