What to do about it?
I just wondered if anyone had any ideas about it.
Maybe start with basics, food and shelter. Why are some children going hungry, or cold? I dont believe parents want to deliberately starve their children or not keep them warm. Is it bad parenting, or is it to do with just not being able to provide. Or is it more to do with solo parents, as two parents can manage better than a solo parent, even if the two parents are poor.
Why is there such a gap between rich and poor these days. Can policy change things, or must we accept that is the way things are. Why should children be born into this, when they have no choice? Do rich people have any responisbilty to look after those less well off?
There is a bigger gap between rich and poor because the world is motivated by selfishness, and self exaltation, and money and material things of what one possesses is a good self exaltation tool, and can obtain power to them to add to their self exaltation.
And they can never have enough in their quest to exalt themselves for if they are being selfish, and being self exalting, there is no limit to that for why would they stop at a certain point if that is their quest.
If they do not care if a thousand people starve why should they care if a million people starve.
And even the poor want to have that so they are just as guilty even though they do not have it.
Even the homeless people on the street have that attitude, hey man check out my 2 box apartment, and I have 5 cans, oh that's nothing man I have a 3 box apartment with a window view of the alley and 10 cans.
That is they way of the world and they will not cease nor is their exalting themselves over other people ever enough, and they will not stop which is why the world rebels against God at the beast kingdom.
Pro 30:11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Pro 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Pro 30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Pro 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
The last generation of mankind which will devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men, for they will heap, and heap, and reap, and reap, all to exalt themselves, and will not give a care for those in need.
Which human nature is no different but they could not be self exalting to this level before, but technology caused money and material things to flow like a raging river, and they can reach out to more people to make money even the world, and fleshy pleasures to enjoy, and worldliness to devour, and all the good and fleshy things that money can buy, and it kicked the selfishness, and arrogance, and self exaltation of people to a level that never could of been attained to in the past.
Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
Which after technology went on for awhile they became highly selfish, highly arrogant, and pursued after money and material things, and things of the selfish nature, and millions of dollars, and billions of dollars was not enough for them, and people wondered, and were amazed, and were mad to those who could not get it.
And then the attitude was people basic care about themselves with little regard for anyone else, so you do not care about me, I do not care about you.
And then the attitude was get all you can get and forget everyone else and the business man said would you care about me if I was on the street, and they charged ridiculous prices for their products although people were barely making ends meet, and the marriages were not the same, and the people did not interact on the same kind level as the past, and trust was at a low.
For they stopped caring for the feelings of others for they viewed people as only caring about themselves, so they exalted themselves more because of it, and it became a vicious cycle through the years that they heaped and enjoyed so they did not like each other as much, which made them heap more and enjoy more, which they did not like each other more, and it went round and round and now they will shoot you down and be violent towards people that only care about themselves.
And the new age movement loves it.
For they wanted to split them apart and make them individuals because individuals exalt themselves more because they are not together as they used to be like the 1950's, and they let that go on for a while.
And now they are ripe for the picking and they will strip the individuality away from them, and put them back together as one but with a different attitude than the 1950's, one of rebelliousness, wanting to have their own way, and highly self exalting.
The world suffers from what I call Cribitis, or the Baby Crib Syndrome for all you laymen out there, that even though they left the baby crib they carry that attitude with them throughout their life, wah, notice me, give me attention.
And because of that they will brag and boast, and be selfish, and arrogant, and self exalting, and want to look good in the eyes of people as somebody special and important loving every minute of it.
And they also carry the child attitude with them, show and tell, as they say look what I got all in an attempt to brag about themselves and say I am better.
And people like to mean to other people which is another bragging tool.
Are friends really friends, or are they people that we hang around so we can be mean to them by saying something mean or dogging them out and say, I am just kidding, but really we want to dog someone out and get away with it.
Are friends really friends, or is it a person we can brag and boast of our money and accomplishments, and we are so great all up in their face without them leaving for we are friends.
Alright I am kidding but you never know for the world operates by self exaltation.
Something to think about the next time you hang around your friends, lol.
2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Pro 30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
2Ti 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud.
2Ti 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded.
The world gets more selfish and arrogant as time goes on for that is the direction they are going.
Ever since Adam and Eve sinned the world has been heading towards the beast kingdom for it is inevitable.
1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
Now they are so selfish and arrogant that they do not want to hear the Bible according to the truth as it has been preached for thousands of years, but believe it is the wrong interpretation, and want to hear it according to the occult and evolution, and people are still evolving which is their greatness and spirituality, and do not acknowledge a personal God, which paves the way to the beast kingdom in Revelation 13 where they rebel against God and He puts them down.
And so it is with money that they are so selfish, and arrogant, and self exalting that it is never enough for them no matter how much they have, and will devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
And the gap is bigger between the rich and poor for they can pursue way more money that in the past because of technology and they are gobbling up as much as possible leaving less for the poor that cannot get it like that.
People are trying to heap money to themselves and not caring about others from the common person to Bill Gates so much pursuing is going on.
So the common person is involved in this too although they cannot heap as much as the rich.
But there is more involved than only the mere heaping of money and it involves money being spent that is not being spent on the poor to cater to the fleshy pleasures of people which technology also caused to boom.
Which is make up, and products like that, and entertainment like sports, and music, and movies, and television, and all types of entertainment, and cruises, and vacations, and expensive clothes, and fleshy pleasures like cigarettes, and drugs, and alcohol, and all the things associated with spending money to cater to their selfish fleshy desires that the poor does not get, nor do they get fed and clothed.
