Wow where do I start? There is so much wrong with the world today. Pride, greed, hatred, just to name a few. People murdering other people. People killing themselves left and right for God knows why.

Let's talk about pride. How many people do you know that will admit when they are wrong? Seriously when was the last time someone actually apologized to you for wronging you? You probably can't remember, right? I've noticed over the years there has been a lessening of manners and common courtesy. That makes me wonder how many people still understand what common courtesy is. Common courtesy are favors you do for your fellow man just simply because they are right. I'm guessing then people are so upside down now they don't even know what's right.

Greed is the want for something you have no need for. I'm sure you have seen plenty of this around. How many rooms does the average family need to call it a home? I don't know , but I'm sure it's a lot less than we have. How many different devices do we need to make our lives so simple that we have to go to gyms to burn the fat that would otherwise not be there? I can't imagine Moses complaining that the Israelites were getting fat doing the hard labor that was survival back then.

The true meaning of hatred is to wish one dead. There is no shortage of this in the world. I guess if you want to look at it in a morbid way it's at least controlling the population to some extent. I don't look at it that way. I have been to Montana there is plenty of room for us all. Why do people hate each other anyway? We all came from Adam and Eve, then more directly Noah's family. Sure over the years some of us have gotten more tan and others have lost that tan but what do you expect? We have adjusted to our environment. We all have beliefs and missions in life, don't hate someone because theirs doesn't match yours. We are all created in the image of God, and I for one do not want to be guilty of hating God.

Make someones life a little easier someday and give them a smile, and mean it. The world is a messed up place, but we made it that way. Just live your life in love, let's start with that.
