I agree with this 100%. I have thought about the decaying of our world quite often. We are advancing so fast in things like technology, etc., but at the same time, our moral compass has deteriorated badly.
I sometimes get “down” about life and the way people behave. Many people are very cold, rude, selfish, and more. To the point that sometimes I just wish that I could isolate myself and my loved ones in a house somewhere in the middle of nowhere.
The thing I try to keep in mind, is that even there are lots of “bad” people out there, sometimes I come across a very genuine and nice “good” person. That is why the bible says God’s people are the salt of the earth.
Salt preserves things from spoiling, so if it wasn’t for the few “good” people (salt), the world would be COMPLETELY BAD. So I thank God for the good people that we do have, and I try to avoid and overlook the bad in the world, and I keep in mind God’s faithful promises.
The truth is, it is only going to get worse. Look at the young generations right now—many I know are very self absorbed, cold, and uncaring people. Many have grown up without a stable and loving family. So it is only going to get worse until the point of the world ending.
But after the end, it will be better for eternity! Great point though, and I completely see where you are coming from!
