It’s (not) the end of the world as we know it – Glenn Beck

It’s (not) the end of the world as we know it – Glenn Beck

I saw Glenn with O'Reilly last night on the Goolge intervention on the events in the middle east.

Personally, I see your concerns and the possible 'conspiracy' going on in there. But the problem in the middle east is not lack of control but excess of control, because it is the people who cannot find its own way mainly because their governments mostly kings and dictators, only are caring for themselves and to preserve their own life styles and which traditionally has been controlled by throwing by the venue of religion to the western cultures to make them guilty in the eyes of their own for the life they have to live so that their controlling lords live theirs.



The uprisings in the middle east could certainly go either way and we can only hope that while they go towards freedom particularly for the individual, this go as peaceful as possible.

I think BHO is making a terrible mistake in not recognizing the legitimate aspirations of the ones wanting that freedom and to not having the courage to play the cards of truth and freedom on them, not democracy, freedom, because 'democracy' has been terribly misused and misinterpreted, particularly by the collectivist society on making it a choice of the majorities, which in effect has become the choice of the minorities as well and which means is the choice of nobody but the reigning elites. A complete 360 degree circle towards exactly where the problems of the middle east reside.

We must have the courage to live our beliefs and fight for them, the courage to speak up when needed and to shut up when is prudent, but to ignore the plight of the people for freedom just because it might make the ones trapped in the wrong phantoms angry, is not leadership but solely cowardice.

Google I do not think is the problem and perhaps they should try to do that in China as well although obviously the west have surrendered to them by now the future, becoming harder and harder to react towards freedom again.

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

What is going wrong with the world?!

After the question which seems to come back at every generation, the clearest answer is perhaps… ‘Selfishness’ The point is very simple, when we put our own ego, our self, at the center of everything… Do we expect the rest of the world to bend backwards to satisfy us? We do have fundamental freedoms like opinion, religion, etc. Are those freedoms to be limited by the freedom of others? Are those freedoms to limit the freedom of others?
