Today´s World.

What is happening in our today society?





Have you ever sat down and really thought about the modern society problems that we have.

Do you value your belongings or your physical appearance more than you value friends, family, love, or yourself?

I have come to believe these issues has become a way of life in today’s society. The individual´s interests seems to be more important than everything. This means that for us is more important the way we look or our possessions in order to bring us happiness.

We use these possessions and our external appearance to feel successful. This "good" external appearance is the way to solve all our problems. We go through life contemplating that inner well being depends on what we have or do. We identify ourselves and others by what we wear, what we have, and what brands we sport.


Today´s human beings feels that is more important the way that we dress or the way people see us because of the status we gain from them. Appearance is much more important than it should be. I know that the physical appearance is the first thing that someone notice about you. But we are more than our external appearance, we are body and soul.

We can see this problem with young girls, they feel that their appearances are more important that their personality or their inside feelings. Last week I was so impressed about the sad news. A young girl died because of the disease that many young girls are dying, anorexia. Girls are dying because for her are more important her body appearance.


It seems that this horrible way of death is becoming fashionable and the guilty is the individualism that we have and because we do not care the world, the humans nor God creation.

However, we need to do something about this modern society problem, we have a big responsibility which is to protect our own life and the life that people that we love. We need to demonstrate that we are a God creation and everybody are equal in relation to the others.

We need to think and do something inmediately about this important problem...
