10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”
I'm not sure of the intent in this chapter but I was just thinking of how this fits in with today's society. As our society becomes more and more entitled rather than willing to work we are drifting further from this instruction. If everyone was following his roadmap for us there would be fewer people needing assistance and more people ready to freely offer it to those in need. No need for government programs, people working hard and taking care of each other.
i think you're exactly right. i also think its a good reminder for me, in my daily life. I try to be "productive". But, sometimes I just wanna be lazy. I can spend a good chunk of a weekend watchin football, and drinking pop.....I'm not sure that's exactly what Paul is talking about either, but its still a good reminder.

I think there might be some special provisions in there somewhere for that...at least I'm hoping since I can do the same lol
