Horrors of This World

Horrors of This World

            The world is in a sad state of affair, from wars in our neighborhoods, to wars that are going on through the world; to hideous crimes being committed without any recoil of how they are affecting other people’s lives. Anyone reading this knows of the wars that are occurring throughout the world, while we all have horror stories of the wars that are being waged in our own backyard, along with the crime; has the world gone mad! Have we become cold-hearted salvages that care only for ourselves, bringing children into this world and letting them run about wildly.

            Many of the youth of today, are not respectful, they are nasty, and mean; I would even venture to say they are evil! Why? Many parents don’t have the time to correct them when they do wrong, they are busy at work, and little Jim is running about after school; just give him the house keys and have him call when he gets home; parents think it is that easy. For some it may be that easy, but many are finding that there time away from their children has its consequences during the teenage years. Since they have been on their own for so long, by fourteen they feel they are completely grown up and the parents have “allowed” them to behave this way. Today’s youth do not know what accountability is, they are so use to having someone “fix” the situation; then when they become adults and its time to play “hard ball” in the real world, guess what? They can’t handle it, they are unequipped to deal with responsibilities of paying bills, working, going to school, caring for family; and the worst part is the inability to take responsibility for something they did.

            Recently in my own back yard, the night before Thanksgiving, there were several hit and runs, where people got hurt and a few died, but the one that really disturbs me is the little old couple, going to church the night before Thanksgiving; hand in hand. It was not only the act of running this lovely couple down, but the fact that later that evening a family member attempted to cover it up by reporting the car stolen. To commit a crime so horrible, and have no remorse and then involve someone else, shows just how unaccountable our society has gotten.
