After two weeks of being back in Boston, I finally feel comfortable again in my own house. Instead of the word "comfortable", maybe "numb" is more suitable for the description. It's a strange feeling, having to leave family to be simply lonely again. Sometimes I wonder why we do this to ourselves? I heard people who went to see the movie Avatar 16 times, and they couldn't get enough of Pandora, the world where we're one with nature, where community, family bonds are of the utmost importance. Until, of course, the humans invaded them, and then it's all about MONEY again...
1 Timothy 6:10 says, "For the love of MONEY is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for MONEY, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. "
2 Timothy 3:2 says, "People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of MONEY, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,"
Hebrew 13:5 says, "Keep your lives free from the love of MONEY and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"
What has our world become?
Because of MONEY, people got exploited, nature got exploited, families got divided. Children are growing up without parents ever being home. People are suing one another. Companies are suing one another, countries are against one another. Then weapons are made to destroy one another. People are turning to alcohol, drugs, work, (oh yeah, work is an addiction too). Even Mother-nature is giving up on us. Soon, we're going to have no ozone layer, and the glaciers will all melt away, we're all going to run out of oil in the ground, the ocean will be filled with our toxic wastes, animals will extinct one species at a time, and the world is going to lose its natural balance, then what...
Everybody already knows all these knowledge and far more, but as long as the big bucks are still with the giant corporations of the world, we're all heading for doom. Bible is right in the end. Money IS the source of all evil.
So why can't we just move to be closer to our family? Yes, it's because of work, our jobs, where we can make MONEY. Without the security of it, we cannot just relocate, even if it is to be with our family. This is our world, our cruel, cruel world.
Some people say, there is no God, because if there is God, why would God let all this evil to happen in the world?
... ...
Well, that is because humans think they're God, and that they're capable of running this world they call home. So far they've only brought damage and destruction onto it.
God, where is He? He is waiting for us to turn back to Him... anytime.
