We all know the Pope blesses people.

But what is a blessing, this is a different topic then the other ones I have currently posted.

Should we "count blessings" and keep score?

Is a blessing a reward? Is a blessing something that comes about as a natural part of existance? something earned?

Is a blessing something granted by God and perhaps fowled by the Devil?

Or can people have "secular blessings" which have nothing to do with religions or belief systems?

Or is a blessing simply a attitude, a kind of perception one selects as an option when viewing life and one's personal situation?

Should people bless other people?

Is it a matter of "good luck" verses "bad luck"? Just how the chips fall, a way to compare your self to "the Jone's" to see if they are better off or worse off then you via a measurement of contrast?

I put a lot of angles into the OP but this might be a new topic for Volconvo debaters. Not sure. Got an over-all opinon? (other then a dictionary discription)
