Oh Those Clothes!

In "The Hunger Games" the ruling class wore clothes that reminded me of the munchkins in "the Wizard of Oz." They all dressed the same in a fashion that displayed color and said, "Look at Me." How one looked on the outside was very important to the ruling class. Why? Because in a world without God, without a spiritual center, there are no insides to which we attend. It is a soulless people, that take joy in seeing others suffer and kill one another in what is called a "game."

The poor who live in the outer districts, on the other hand, dress on the outside in rather plain clothes, no color or flash. Yet it is from them that comes compassion, love, sacrifice, the things that make us brilliant of soul. So, how much time do you spend trying to look good on the outside? How much time do you spend in prayer, which dresses the insides of ourselves?
