what's up with this world?


Tsunami, Katrina, earthquakes, mud's, landslides, war, hunger, poverty, corruption, terrorism..one devastation after another. What is wrong with us people? On top of what's happening in the world, some people still choose to go to war. What is wrong with you people? Why can't natural suffering be enough? Why must we create our own suffering? Is torturing other people so glamorous? Will it make you feel powerful? Why do you want to create enemy's? For what? Well, as naive as I might be, allow me to answer the question for you. It's for POWER. But why? Will you be happy? Will your grand children be happy and proud of you?
There's so much hatred in this world, it makes me suffocated. People fighting about which believes is more superior than the rest or most of the time without any valid reason at all like for the sake of selling weapons to stupid countries. Sad but it's reality. This is what has become to us humans. We are a species created by God that is supposed to be smarter than the rest, but ended up the stupidest of all. And all because of greed. Greed of power. We are slaves of power.
Us humans only knows how to point at other people, judge other people and forget about who and what we've become. I honestly feel scared just thinking about it. People are contradicting whatever they've said. Double standard here and there. I honestly don't know where to start, if I were supposed to fix this world.
Religion fighting religion. Classic. Have you ever read any holy bible (Koran, Buddhism, etc.) and actually found written the fact that God will condemn anyone who turns his/her back on Islam, Christianity, Buddhism? - of course you won't find it. The only sentence written is that God will condemn anyone who turns his/her back from Him not the religion. From that fact it is clear that all religion is the same. It worship God and religion is just the vehicle in which we use to guide us to Him. Therefore, why are people fighting in the name of a religion and creating suffering for others. Strange how greed of power can blind you like that. I am beyond sad. I am angry. I miss the world that I once loved. Or maybe the world has always been like this? Maybe it was just me that didn't want to see it like other people did. Was it really always been like this? Was it?
Are we facing "armagedon"? What should I pray for? Peace? Forgiveness? I have no answer as I am lost. But one thing I'm sure that we humans need to learn to love again, be grateful again, be thankful again and not take things, people or even God for granted again.
I guess today is the result of not.

Thanks for that blog post! Your words are very important. The world is in a bad place. 18,000 children die from hunger every day.
