Is this a perfect world

by Maureen Leung

The world is not perfect.  Wars, conflict, theft, hatred, slander, jealousy, murder, impurity, lust, injustice, sexual immortality, and evil desires and greed exist in this world.  In addition, liar, selfishness, and lover of money also exist in this imperfect world.  The Bible mentions that these things are unclean (Mark 7:20-23).  Contrary, even though the world is not perfect, there are still some people who are trying to make the world a better place.

Some people use technologies for evil rather than for good.  For instance, some people invent technologies to threaten countries and people instead using them to help cure diseases and protect the environment.  They also use technologies to control countries and people instead of giving people their freedom.  Leaders who want more power and domination of the world use advance technologies to destroy other countries. They do not want to use advance technologies to discover the universe what is out there beyond our planet earth.

Besides technologies, some people also use money doing evil instead of good.  Instead of using money to do some charity works for the communities, they use the money to control and to indulge others.  In addition, corruption, injustice, favoritism, and immortality exist in this world; and some people and governments do not care. As long as it does not affect their lives or that they receive benefits from corruption and injustice, they allow these dreadful things to exist.

People not only kill for money and power, but they also kill out of their anger, hatred, and belief.  School shooting occurs often nowadays.  Teenagers and college students kill others and themselves.  Their hatred and anger, and other negative thinking cause them to kill or suicide.  Suicide bombers believe that they are doing God’s words by killing themselves and others.  They think they will go to heaven.  In addition, they also believe that other people who do not believe what they believe are infidels and need to be destroyed.

Some people also dump trashes, oil, and other chemicals into the ocean, which causes pollution, weather erosion, diseases, and poverty.  Fishes and other species die; and people who eat food and drink water that contain viruses get sick or die.  Hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and floods are destroying homes and communities. Some people lose their homes, cars, and their individual needs.  In addition, when economy is down, people get layoff.  They have to sell their homes and some of their belongings in order to have money to survive.

Also, while non-jealous are happy for others and are grateful of what they have, jealous people do not think like that.  They are jealous what others have.  In addition, some of them are also jealous of other races when they see that other races have a virtuous life while they do not.  They blame other races for taking all the nicest jobs and devaluing the values of the society.  Furthermore, some of them gossip, look down, and make fun of others to make them feel better or to make them more superior than others while they have low self-esteem and low self-confidence.

One last thing that I want to say is that broken marriage or broken relationship is sad. Their children sometime think they are the cause of their parents’ divorce.  On the other hand, it is not their fault.

In conclusion, it is true that the world is not perfect.  Evildoers and all kinds of evil things and desires exist in this world.  They use technology and money to harm people.  In addition, they have jealousy, hatred, anger, lust, injustice, greed, immortality, and all kinds of sinful desires in their heart. On the other hand, even though the world is not perfect, there are still some good people who are trying to make this world a better place. There are still some people who invent and use technology for good-to help people, to clean environment and guard their countries against invaders.  In addition, some couples still love each other, their families, and their children.  They use the money to provide what is best for their families and their children.  In addition, there is still good sightseeing places where people can go there for relaxation and camping.  God still provides places for all of us to enjoy life.  What a magnificent God He is to us.
