We have nurtured

I write this entry with a Heavy heart, not because it is something very difficult for me to say but something I am burdened by because of the truth that lies within it's very core. As man has grown, he has lost his fear of consequence. There are many reasons for this, a system that punishes less than it should, a society that teaches that punishment is bad, and taking the ultimate punishment away and only giving away to worldly punishment.
The last is where I feel burdened. As a society, not just the USA, we have taken the ultimate punishment and fear out of the world. Yes, it still exists in some form but in a vague form that denies it's true meaning. God, used to be prevalent and fearsome. He used to be the reason we wanted to walk a path of purity and righteousness. However, now God is a name people have forgotten, given very little heed to, or one we use just as a face to look good. I know not everyone is this way but as a society the majority fall into one of these categories.
Suicide rates have increased, crime rates have increased, and worse the decay of society and truth of decreased. As a world, our struggle has become less about how to over come by means of each other, but how to overcome without anyone. Selfish, prideful, and independent people is what we are. Our pride is the root of all our sins, because we can do it ourselves, we know better, or my personal favorite I deserve it. And what do we deserve? Well, in a just world, justice. Do we get justice? Some say yes and some say no, but if you ask most people justice is always changing. Murder has less meaning, theft is less important, lying is human nature, everyone does that! Pornography is everywhere for anyone to look at, prostitution is huge and child prostitution is still happening. Why? Because we excuse the very simple thing, consequence.
God puts consequence in this world, ultimate consequence. That is scary and it should be feared but now God barely exists in this world. Why? Because we are prideful, we want to do things and not have fear of any consequence. Parents can barely punish their kids anymore and, therefor, you have more children finding their way into more and more trouble.

I find the disorder of this world distressing but i find my sin to be a even more distressing thing. I know that i deserve punishment and that in the long run there is something to fear. My conscience tells me who and what i am. That is to be feared but God provided something far greater for me.

The graphs are a bit misleading though, because recorded crime is not the same as actual crime. People report crime a lot more nowadays. And things like rape and sexual harassment and indecent exposure are far more recognised and therefore reported far more - which is a good thing, because back in the day, they were barely acknowledged. And things like child abuse got swept under the carpet. All those things happened just as much back in the day as now. In fact, for many crimes, people are now far more aware of consequences, because of the fact that these crimes are being recognised as such. The world isn't any more evil than it's always been - reading the Bible shows plenty of murder, rape and robbery going on there!~
