Is it really a better world?

A recent Singapore documentary labelled ‘When play time becomes sex time” shared how young girls as young as 10 years old are sexually active.

One such young girl wanted to make her 17-year old boyfriend [whom she met playing computer games online] happy and over a stretch of time had 3 relations with 3 men.  All 3 men knew she is underaged. A crime, no less.

A newspaper report yesterday said new research data from UK indicated that ladies [especially those who are 50 and above] can drastically reduce their likelihood of developing breast cancer by changing lifestyle:

• drink less
• avoid obesity
• exercise

I suppose good old Grandma’s nagging suddenly became a pearl of wisdom. 

If we look at what is happening around the world, in homes and in schools, we should not be surprised by the state of affairs in the world today.

Mass murder in campus in US, UK and Europe; family hatred; lack of respect for the life of the infirmed or infant – these are the less subtle ills.

The subtle ills are more pervasive - social redefinition which protects the interests of the minority at the expense of the majority [I am not referring to the destitute or helpless but rather the influential and powerful and often rich minority]; rewriting history to remove values that are considered too restricting; pandering to the decadent practices….

Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs [including prescription ones], elective cosmetic surgery, individualism, contempt for life, and lack of honour for one’s own body have been plaguing society for years. But in recent times, these have been compounded by the ‘poo-poo’ing of traditional values.

Do you know the original mission of Harvard University?  Harvard began with the heaviest emphasis on God and the Bible. Its expressed purpose was ‘to know God and Jesus Christ’. I did not get this from their website but from the book “The Monster Under the Bed” by Stan Davis and Jim Botkin.

When Sex in the City, Desperate Housewives and such genres are getting the awards, Little House on the Prairie has been forgotten…

Shooting in schools [US} will continue; girls, those not brought up to know how to honour their body, will continue to fall prey to the lie of pleasure [every effluent society]; more will chase after money at all cost and spend it on things that eventually destroy them [even in countries like China, India, Russia, and poor nations] ….

Sorry, did not mean to be so grim. More importantly, how will we make a difference in such grim circumstances.
