What possible solutions can we hope for in a world that will --
- Sacrifice thousands of young lives in unnecessary war just so the war machine can make trillion$
- Ship all US manufacturing jobs to piss poor countries where workers make $2 a day, thereby destroying the American middle class
- Allow the world to be polluted and ultimately destroyed by global warming just to make tons of money
- Allow big pharamaceuticals to push drugs regardless of how many lives are killed
- Abandon thousands of its own citizens to drown in the aftermath of a hurricane
-- and the list goes on and on and on
I guess I am asking for ideas here. Sometimes it sure feels like we are in our last days.
I sure hope not. When I see all the self-consumed, selfish people in this world,
the only hope I have is to try and follow the principles of the "Serenity Prayer."
"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
(sorry for the depressing message, I was just feeling
a bit depressed over the lack of caring in today's world)
