We live in a chaotic world today. A world that devours its own kind, a world with no mercy. For the moment I ponder to think and wonder if humanity has indeed lost the battle. I remember one day I was speaking to one of my friends from the US about the importance of starting a family and settle down. She bluntly told me that the thought of bringing children into a world like this today was a furthest dream to her. I know that they they are many people in the world today who think like that and in many ways they make sense. What's the point? After all what we hear on the news bulletins on a daily basis, what we watch on our television sets and read in newspapers. Wars here and there and hunger and famine in other parts of the world. It appears that as the years go by, man's capability for evil and carnage has multiplied. Death and destruction is something our eyes are getting used to. Part of the problem lies in avarice which is an excessive desire to acquire or posses more material wealth than one needs or deserves. It is being greedy, mean, acquisitiveness, cupid and covetousness. Its main principle is that one must lay his hands on much as he can and it does not matter who loses out. Avarice apparently is one of the deadly sins of the world today. As the bible states 'the love of money is the root of all evil...'. But is humanity beyond redemption? Have we already sealed our fate? I do not believe so. If we can hearken to the voice of God according to 2nd Chronicles chapter 7:14 I believe that the lord can have mercy on mankind and we will once again flourish and banish the misery that we see around the world.
