Coming to an End … ( 09 / 22 / 2014 )
" The world is coming to an end ... The animals are being abused , the economy ’ s collapsed ... Intelligence is shunned and ignorance rewarded … People are depressed and angry . We can ' t live with each other and we can ' t live with ourselves … We pass each other on the street , 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 .
Presidents lie , politicians trick us … Race is still an issue and 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 … The average person watches 5 hours of television a day , and it ' s more violence on the screen than ever before … Technology has given us everything we could ever want , and at the same time stolen everything we really need … Money is still the root of all evil , yet we tell our kids “ Don ’ t get that degree -- the job doesn ’ t pay enough .” … Good deeds are only done when there ' s a profit margin … Videos of the misfortunes of others go viral , and we laugh and share them with our friends to laugh with us … 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 … 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 of this madness and chaos ? What is the solution ? … Well , we can LOVE -- Not the love you hear in your favorite song on the radio . I mean real LOVE , true LOVE , boundless LOVE … We can perform an act of kindness because that is contagious . We can be mindful during every interaction -- showing a little more compassion than usual … We can forgive .
We have been sold lies ; brainwashed by our leaders and those we trust , to not recognize our brothers and sisters -- to exhibit anger , hatred and cruelty . But once we truly LOVE we will meet anger with sympathy , hatred with compassion , and cruelty with kindness … LOVE is the most powerful weapon on the face of the Earth . So yes , the world IS coming to an end … and yet the path towards a new beginning begins within you "
