Not a sin, but it certainly isn't pleasant not to be able to enjoy the world, being in survival mode instead and also not being able to do the thing that makes most people feel the best, give to others. Reply
I don't know how you'd get that out of my comment. I said basically in a way it was a curse to only be blessed indirectly because that leaves you like a poor relative, depending on someone else, instead of receiving it directly and being able to help others. In other words, having a middle man is kind of a curse. Reply
