what happened to this world and people in this world?????????

It is the ME FIRST Ego problem that is spreading everywhere. No one will take the blame for anything and they WANT everything. It has even spread into the elderly, who should know better! No one is happy anymore. They are bored and want to be entertained all the time. I was in an auto accident the other day. When the police cam I told him what happened step by step. It was my fault and I told him so. I hydroplaned into the back of a jeep. No damage to the Jeep, but its spare tire left a big dent in my hood. The father of the fellow I hit had his lawyer on the phone even before the police arrived wanting to sue me...remember I said no damage, I was barely moving by the time I hit him. The police got in his cruiser and locked the door to do the paperwork. When he was done, he shook my hand as he handed me mine. He did not give me a ticket...I was still at fault, but no ticket. The father was livid!!! I think I got off with no ticket because I told the truth and took the blame. NO ONE DOES that anymore. The father is still trying to find a way to sue me. Shalom~Adoniah

I myself used to be a calm person but after i started smoking i have lost patience and now i get angry very quickly even if its a post from a mylotter and the problem is I cannot quit even though i know it is bad and also can see the bad effects of smoking another reason why i get angry is when i look at the current situation of the world that everyone is blaming others and not willing to take respoinsbility and realize that a person cannot clap with one hand. I intend to try my best to quit smoking in Ramzan during the fasting month for that i am preparing myself mentally as i have tried quiting before but i ended up smoking even more after 24 hours of no smoking.

Good to read such sensible note once in a while in this mad mad world! I agree everybody want to have enough to get it going but greed of having excess of everything lead to evil. More frightening thing in the world today is that if you are ruthless and loud you are thought to be powerful. Sometime I feel there seems to be no place for sane people.

thats great your following the way of peace so well.

abj Not everyone, I know I dont want to be wealthy just have enough to pay my bills. Nor do I w ant power. I am a peaceful senior citizen and most of my co residents here at Gold Crest are peaceful people.this really is not an either or world,this is just not true. There are lots of good decent people in the world but we do not make headlines so all you young people think all is rotten because of a few. It is not so.I am peaceful and cool as I have no reason to be otherwise.

The objective of mankind is changing. Everything used to be simple and people won't ask for more. As the world become most globalize, everyone started to want more. They want to be the Gates, Buffet and etc. In their quest to be them, things like sympathy and care is dropped in the way.

Peace be with you abj163. They say that money is the root of all evil but I think that its the love for money which is evil. If your desire to have money is to increase your capacity to help other people, then there is nothing wrong with this.

I agree with everything you are saying here. I have a problem cooling and calming my mind. I know if I could do this, it would help with a lot of things that keep going wrong in my life including my health. I don't strive to be rich and powerful, but not being able to pay my bills is really stressful.

The schools have taken the teachings of religion out of them. The parents aren't teaching core values and kids see other kids doing things and imitate it. Lately our 8 year old has been getting in trouble for telling me and his dad to do something instead of asking like this morning he said "Get me a cereal bar." I told him if he wanted one to get up and go get it and not to talk to me that way. Kids shows and cartoons are not good. I was upset to see icarly jumping up and down on the table this morning then spitting stuff from her mouth. This is one of the shows my son watches at his Grandma's. We don't like it or Spongebob which spits and cusses. These are our kids role models. There is no way my mom would have let me watch that when I was younger.

We seem to live in world where some people just make other people's lives miserable without reason, at times just to be pests. As a result, victims of stupidity get angry and it becomes a vicious cycle. In today's world, it's very important to keep our cool because occasionally some people are bound to throw crap on your parade. It's unavoidable and it's getting worse every day. So, in order to find that peace, you have to take a step back and look at the world from a different perspective. Like Jesus said in 1 John 2:15-17.

Ganancy has taken over the world. Sure, there are a lot of poeple that don't really just look up for money.Everyone shoul try to be happy, not rich.Sure, i don't mean to them don't work and don't look for money, if want money you must work hard, but not abuse from other people and try to be powerfull at all coasts, they should see their limits

Some would say things are bad, some would say things have always been bad through out history. There has always been someone or a group of someones wanting to trample on the less fortunate in order to get what they want. People generally don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want these days. Wars, forced relocations, take-overs, you name it, usually due to someone wanting what someone else has got, power another group has got, and so on As was said by another commenter things like sympathy and care got lost along the way, and i'll add my two cents worth to that, people used to care about others, used to help others even if they didn't know them, communities used to look out for one another. At one time you could go to hospital and be cared for, now you go and get processed, dealt with, and shipped back out. It's all detachment these days, look out for yourself and forget the rest. This all needs to change otherwise the future will bring nothing but trouble in my opinion
