Before technology began to replace human
interaction, science overtook religion to explain unknowns, secularism
eradicated the notion of God, the family unit imploded; there was a bottom line--Morality. For
over 4,000 years, Judeo-Christian ethics--(Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you) have been the watchwords by which people have
treated one another fairly, supervised by a morally supreme being.
Far from perfect, mankind nevertheless has
done its best to live by these moral precepts, with recognition that one's
fellow men, and the past/present/future, all have bearing.
Today, we live only for the present: What feels
good for me, now; not what I think is
best for the greater good, over the long-term.
Our world swirls around us faster than we
can comprehend; we are losing our way. Without morality to guide our actions
and behaviors, and a moral being more knowledgeable and powerful than we; we
cannot survive. We are without responsible leaders, heroes who respect laws or
one another; someone to guide us/set standards/or point the way. The
biggest problem facing humanity today: The naively arrogant belief that we outrank God.
