China is a man happily married to a Chinese lady and living in China with her and her family... he has written this information for us so I guess he wouldn't mind my answer here.

He has led an interesting life...

I, in reality, do not belong on this thread. I have reread China's introduction many many times, and
I can't fit my thought process into that thought process at all.
So, in my opinion, reality isn't real until it's happening, and while it's happening, and after that, it's
a memory, then it goes into a department to be, savoured and kept forever, quickly forgotton, or
put in a subconcious, and pops up spontaniously, without thought.
I don't know, this makes me tired,I have to try too hard to figure it out, and most of it doesn't make
sense to me, but I assume I just don't understand, so be it. I am so realistic, everything for me, is,
pretty well straight ahead, as I hate fantasy, sci.fi.,religion, not many "frills" in my thought process.

An in the heart is where the measure of a man is!

I think that you will agree with me that the true "measure of man" you can only find in a relationship between him ( the men) and his evioronment ---- which obviously includes other man .

That is true to a degree, because we are judged by our peers as to who, and what we are.

But the heart of the soul is what determines our make up and how we deal with the world as it is.

The heart: Is the soul of a man/women. There it is where character lies. Otherwise, we'd be all the same.

Perfect example is Jesus. He being born in the flesh took on the character of God because He had a heart after God’s will.

His heart for God (spiritual) above all else is what caused Him to give up His life as a ransom for our souls.

So, the environment affected Him none, because in His heart, He was set to do the Father’s will.

All of us have heart, and it shows to a degree by how we carry ourselves in word and in action.

There are those who refuse to admit it, because it would entail a spiritual side that might link them to God.

God changes the souls’ heart which to a degree reflects a change in the flesh. That degree is determined by the one’s own willingness to give up the things of the flesh to the spiritual.

This verse applies: Joh 3:30 He must increase: but I must decrease.

Meaning that the desires of the flesh become less desirable and God’s will becomes more desirable above that of the flesh.

The adage: “ that it doesn’t matter what size the dog is, it is the fight in the dog that determines the size” is already instilled in the dogs karma.

Likewise we, are set with a character (fight if you will) that determines how we shall live out our lives.
Like the Apostle Peter’s character, of foot in mouth first before engaging the heart, is what caused Him to deny Jesus 3 times.

But once His heart was changed, that same character trait led Him to become a fearless disciple of Jesus.

What I am saying is that at the heart of the matter of life is the heart. That is what determines our ability to survive this hellish environment.

Those that loose heart because of all the trials in this life, wind up giving life up not wanting to deal with it any longer.

What makes us want to continue living? The desire to live comes from Where?

And how bad do we want to live? How much can we put up with in order to remain alive?

Take Senator McCain for instance, what kept him from giving up life all those years in prison?
It was God in his heart giving him hope, strength and determination. If it weren’t for that, what purpose would it be for him to endure the hardship and survive to live out his life for what?

The wisdom of this world has already been exercised to it’s full extent by King Soloman and found to be that the heart alone is what matteres: Ecc 2:15 And I said in my heart: If the death of the fool and mine shall be one, what doth it avail me, that I have applied myself more to the study of wisdom? And speaking with my own mind, I perceived that this also was vanity.

Ecc 3:18 I said in my heart concerning the sons of men, that God would prove them, and shew them to be like beasts.

What then is the difference between God and beast? (The heart)

Speak for yourself. Who I am and what I am (personality and character) is a result of my genetics and environment. I have no soul except for the bottoms of my boots and shoes.
