Please tell me, what's wrong with the world? Why so much hate and discontent? Why so much envy and enmity? Why so much farce, lies, dishonesty, blood spilling and general gloom? To certain degree in every nation there's the workplace political drama plus the I-must-be-the-boss sometimes diabolical saga, family/marital issues - divorce right, left & center! Suicides. Rituals. Boy/Girl killing lover out of jealousy or whatever else. Bombings. Trigger-happy police officers. Kidnappings. Inhumane treatment of others...and trust me the list is endless! What is wrong with the world? Some days ago I read about a father molesting his 3-month old daughter. A friend was also sharing with me how his neighbor abandoned wife with kids because according to him his wife had become the 'boss' of the home. Saturday was the remembrance of a member of our Church who was shot and murdered in cold blood because she attained certain management position at work. I read about the ISIS-linked bombings, Boko Haram fighters on the home-front. Seriously, what is wrong with our world?
I copied something off Dr. Ben Carson's wall. See below.
Last night evil walked the streets of Charleston. My heart aches for the families of the victims. I pray for the families left behind. I pray for the community scared and hurting. I also pray you and I can conquer hatred.

In my lifetime I have seen such great progress. Though racial based hate is still very much alive as last night so violently reminded us.
But I worry about a new hate that is growing in our great nation. I fear our intolerance of one another is the new battle ground of evil. Today many feel it is ok to hate someone who thinks differently than you do.
The left hates the right. The right hates the left. This attitude is poison. Poison that will sicken all of us.
Just because someone is for Obamacare and another is against doesn't change the fact we are all brothers and sisters. All Americans.
As a brain surgeon I can assure you that all of our brains look the same, no matter what our skin color or party affiliation.
The America I know and love has fought evil all over the world to protect evil's victims. At home we must dedicate ourselves to not hating anyone based on their politics.
Our leaders have walked our country down this path and it is up to us to change course.
Please join me in praying for those who lost their lives last night. Please join me in praying for comfort for their families. Please join me in praying for our great nation, that we may heal ourselves before it is too late.

What will it take to conquer hatred and this evil lurking in the hearts of people? Can we as individuals begin the purging ourselves? There is no point hating on another human being.
- Start first with not overestimating the blessings of others to the detriment of yours. It is only when you underestimate your blessings/talents/gifts that you begin to feel jealousy for others which of course can result in maiming another.
- Learn to respect others' views. So granted, you don't like some or even all of their views? Let them be!!! It is their opinion not yours. It doesn't remove or add a cubit to you.
-Treat others the way you want to be treated. Isn't that the greatest Bible commandment?
Truly I hope for world peace.
