I smile, when I shouldn't smile. I smile at the futility of mans devices; at his confidence in the midst of pending disaster. How arrogant. How foolish man is. How foolish our leaders!
He creates his own problems, which only multiply and then tries to solve these problems which only cause more problems ... and man thinks he's so smart.
As far as technology goes, man comes up with a pretty good grade, A+, but when it comes to living in peace with himself he always comes up with a flat painful failure!
It seems all the physiologists, psychiatrists, philosophers and social workers in our world can't put "humpty-dumpty together again" but still they try.
Humpty-Dumpty has been broken a long time!
The forever failure of trying to legislate morality and mass behavior, especially when there is no consensus on what morality is, afflicts us all. Our legal box of liberty gets smaller and smaller. Our freedoms restricted!
Indeed man gravitates toward doing what's right in his own eyes not necessarily what's right in societies eyes. Laws work pretty well when there's a cop around. We can arrest the law breaker, and simply shuttle the problem away into a postponement camp. Man's solution? More cops. Bigger cops. Better guns. More lawyers. More judges and courts. longer fences. More and larger camps.
Laws made to control man's behavior have never been a solution to the behavioral change of an individual; only a temporary fear of punishment, or death. The key word here is solution. Admittedly there is no man made law that goes to the solution of changing the core of an individuals behavior; it's the heart of man that's the true prompter of his behavior. Common sense says this. God says this. History says this!
It's true that education, example and culture may affect man's behavior but truer still these influences will never change his heart. God calls man's heart evil, and evil it is.
God has the only solution to evil; it's available; it's free.
But man, being man, will continue to willfully and arrogantly bypass God in his "search" for another solution to his dilemma: controlling the effects of man's dark side ... the evil side of mankind.
Got any solutions?
