What is Wrong with the World?

What is wrong with the world? I don’t mean the earth that wombs us all, but the inhabitants of the world; the world’s people.
 
Why has life, which is sacred, suddenly become worthless? People killing each other on the flimsiest and the most mundane excuse?

Why have the world’s people suddenly feel a need to help God? I mean, to protect Him and expand for God? How silly can that be? Killing, for God?

How can some people even dare explain killing others because they feel threatened by their success as if the power to strive and create doesn’t reside in every one of us?
How can another’s struggle to survive even threaten you except you have a deeply rooted problem only you can solve?
What does xenophobia even mean? I mean I get the meaning, I just checked it again in 5 different dictionaries but I still don’t get why its enough reason to hack down, butcher and burn another.

I mean, I don’t even understand the anger, jealousy and hate that have elegantly found expression on social media. What was our world like again before Facebook, Twitter and Instagram? Where did this bitterness emerge from? I mean the one we direct at each other; bullying, tiring and dragging? How come we suddenly don’t know how to be happy with other, how to compliment and simply pour out love?
When did we lose our sense of humour? Why do we find it difficult to laugh? Has our lips all cracked, bleeding with deep wounds, we can’t afford to push it further? I mean, a deep throaty hearty laughter heals, it heals the soul.

When have we suddenly become ashamed to look at each other? Have we all suddenly become ugly, we are afraid to look at our ugliness? Since when did we begin to prefer desperately peering at our phones than to look at each other?

How did we come about accepting being ashamed of looking at each other but shameless in sharing our naked selves online and offline?

What happened to dignity of self? Self-value and respect for one another? Since when have women become comfortable birthing children for men not ready to do right by them? Since when has it even become acceptable, even fashionable?
Why are we not satisfied with ourselves anymore? Why do we desperately need to enlarge, enhance and retouch?

Since when did we begin to change our genitalia like the clothes we wear? So now, we can simply decide to change not just our orientation, preference but our sex?
When exactly did children, even babies become sexy? That an adult can even fathom, talk less go ahead and abuse them? Why did we even create the word paedophile? We seem to acknowledge, accept and partake in maiming our babies by simply using the word.

I mean what exactly has gone wrong with the world?

My head aches, my heart breaks whenever I contemplate finding answers to these questions and a lot more like them that won’t just let my pretty head be. Somebody got answers? Help me understand please. What is wrong with our world?
 
Thanks for stopping by.
Love, always.
