Something I have been thinking about a lot the past few months is the wisdom of the world, or the lack there of to be more exact.
I am not sure why but i think it started with the terrible customer service that businesses provide these days, coupled with how people just don’t care about anything but themselves anymore. And I know that this does not really sound like a wisdom aspect. But I am sure by the end of this article, It will be more clear.
Before I continue: What exactly is wisdom? Now there are a few different definitions that all boil down to this one:

This article has taken me a lot of time to complete and it has changed a lot to be completely honest. I started this article with an emotion of irritation and wanting to vent, where now… I feel I understand the world and the topic better and wish I could do more to help the problem that I found.
At first I thought people just stopped thinking for no reason and were just plain lazy. And now I regret that.
Hope… This is the problem I have found. How profound this is, I don’t know, but for me it explains a lot. People have no hope anymore. People have no reason for living and this is sad. The first question any child asks is: “why?”. We are born with the question, we want to know why are we here, and unfortunately "the world" is doing a great job at not telling us.
The world tells us that we are millions of years old and share common ancestors with apes and earthworms. Also that sex, drugs and “anything goes” is the way to go. We are told that we decide what is right or wrong and that anything different from this is weird or wrong.
The fact is, that this is why so many people are lonely and hopeless. If the above mentioned is true, then there is no reason for being here so why do anything.
This is why people don’t put in any effort when trying to help anybody else. Because there is no reason to help people according to this logic. And there is no reason to do anything, but to just do everything that promotes self satisfaction. But then this doesn't matter as well...
The only solution to this is: realizing Jesus. Knowing who He is... And then we can know how we got here, why we are here and where we go when we die. Knowing the truth about life sets us free.
We need to try and work through the ignorant side of ourselves where we almost fight against knowing the truth. People in general and not everyone I believe have this attitude of: Ignorance is bliss. This is just sticking our head in the ground and it doesn't solve any problems. We need to remember that one day we all will be judged. This is the truth!
Knowing God does not answer every question there is, but it does answer life and puts you on the right path to answer the remaining questions. Jesus gives life in abundance and a Powerful one at that, filled with Love and Hope. Peace be with you all
