Even with all our toys and prosperity the people of America lack joy because they are so self absorbed. The more we have the more we want, we become picky. dissatisfied and ungrateful, not to mention petty over the silliest things. All this love of self is causing divorce and remarriage, angry lonely children and disrespectful attitudes on the part of everyone.
We are a prosperous nation, but increasingly miserable. Our "stuff" has not brought us the peace that we thought it would, it only made us more selfish. Teen suicide is up, something that was almost unheard of when I was a teen. Why are young people who have everything killing themselves? This ought to be a clue that getting our way does not satisfy, it only makes us dull and unsure of what is right and what is wrong.
Locked into our cell phones, slaves to its rings, we have no real friends, only words on a device that we can turn on and off at will. Our families are disintegrating while our level of education is dumbing us down. We are getting ready for third world status.
The solution to all this mess, is for individuals to turn from their sin to Christ, desiring to be changed into a new creation by Him, cleansing us from the indoctrination with which the culture has brain washed us. Only then will we be able to change anything, we start with ourselves.
