The world is coming to an end
The air is polluted. The oceans contaminated. The animals are going extinct. The economies collapsed.
Education is shot. Police are corrupt.
Intelligence is shunned and ignorance rewarded. The people are depressed and angry.
We can't live with each other and we can't live with ourselves, so everyone's medicated.
We pass each other on the streets and if we do speak it's meaningless robotic communication.
More people want 15 seconds of fame than a lifetime of meaning and purpose because
what's popular is more important than what's right. Ratings are more important than the truth. Our government builds twice as many prisons and schools
It's easier to find a Big Mac than an apple. And when you find the apple, it's been genetically processed and modified. Presidents lie.
Politicians trick us. Race is still an issue, so is religion. Your God doesn't exist, my God does and he is all loving
If you disagree with me I'll
kill you or even worse, argue you to death.
92% of the songs on the radio are about sex. Kids don't play tag,
they play twerk videos. The average person watches 5 hours of television a day and it's more
violence on the screen than ever before.
Technology is giving us everything we could ever want and at the same time stolen everything
we really need. Pride is at an all-time high
Humility and all-time low. Everybody knows everything. Everybody's going somewhere, ignoring someone, blaming somebody.
Not many human beings left anymore. A lot of human doings. Plenty of humans lingering in the past. Not many human beings.
Money is still the root of all evil. Yet we tell our kids don't get that degree the jobs
don't pay enough.
Good deeds are only done when there's a profit margin. Videos are the
misfortunes of others go viral. We laugh and share them with our friends to laugh with us. Our role models today
60 years ago would have been examples of what not to be. There are states where people can legally be
discriminated against because they were born a certain way. Companies invest millions of dollars hiring specialists to make little girls feel like they need make-up to be beautiful
permanently lowering their self-esteem because they will never be pretty enough to meet those impossible standards.
Corporations tell us buy, buy, buy!
Get this! Get that! You must keep up, you must fit in, this will make you happy, but
it never does for long.
So what can we do in the face of all this madness and chaos what is the solution?
we can love
Not the love you hear in your favorite song on the radio. I mean real love, true love, boundless love.
You can love. Love each other from the moment we wake up, to the moment
we go to bed. Perform an act of kindness because that is contagious.
We can be mindful during every interaction planting seeds of goodness, showing a little more compassion than usual
We can forgive because 300 years from now, will that grudge you hold against your friend, your mother, your father have been worth it?
Instead of trying to change others, we can change ourselves. We can change our hearts.
We've been soaked in lies. Brain-washed by our leaders and
those we trust and not recognize our
brothers and sisters who exhibit anger, hatred, and cruelty, but once we truly love we will meet anger with sympathy, hatred with
compassion, cruelty with kindness. Love is the most powerful weapon on the face of the Earth.
Robert Kennedy once said that few will have the greatness to bend history
but each of us can work to change a small
portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of a generation
So yes, the world is coming to an end
and the path towards a new beginning starts
within you.
