Do you know why simple truth can’t be created in a reasonable society?

Let your life reflect on the seed that grows to hear the word of God

Even though many believe that without lies, greed, and deception, you can't build a successful life, these are disastrous life elements that everyone must try to avoid.

 “And from the days of John the Baptist, until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” Matthew 11:12. 

So we need to ask ourselves why such violence still exists today without any sign of submission. The answer is as simple as someone reciting the alphabet.

Hate, hypocrisy, lies, deceptions, pride, arrogance, immorality and greed, have taken over the brain of a man for such a long period of time that people consider evil as a norm because they find it necessary as a means to survive in the society.

There are many people that have delight in committing crimes and will sleep very well with it even after murdering someone. Yes, many feel comfortable with it after committing heinous crimes, while others can't live with such guilt.

This world is a place people are born into and after your mission on earth, one goes down into his or her grave, yet thousands of people are fascinated with luxuries, beautiful cars, and magnificent buildings because of greed. They want to own everything on this earth. 

And when their time comes to the end they leave all the accumulated treasures behind and go into their graves. 

Despite all that they had, some refused to care about the suffering people, clothed the poor, feed the hungry, and educate the unfortunate ones that lack money put them out of higher education.

People are so greedy to the extent that they can easily go to make a profit at the expense of their loved ones and if it’s necessary to kill for those riches, they will do it. The question is who lives forever?

Many are confused today, wondering if ever there is God at all because they don’t feel that spiritual connection any longer.

It is true, life anxieties, greed, crime, and many other evil things have blocked the spiritual connection man has with God today. You must, therefore, understand why many think there is no God.

What people in distress or those that don’t believe in God often forget is “God is Spirit, and those who worship God must be led by the Spirit to worship him according to the truth.” 

The Lord hasn’t given up on the human race. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” 

Life is tough, only a few are born with silver spoon in their mouth. However, without riches, you can be a happy person too.

Just let your yes be yes and no be no and always “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

THE USE OF BLACK PEOPLE IN AMERICAN POLITICS

Are blacks important when it comes to politics in America? Hillary Clinton, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z.

There was a time in America when the black man couldn't vote, on public transport, he had to stand for the white to sit down, and he was deprived of many things because of his color.

Racism was so strong that the Ku Klux Klan was happy to be recognized as a hate group. Hanging and the lynching of black people occurred repeatedly with impunity because their skin color was considered inferior.

Like a movie, blacks are killed daily. In fact, it's easy to see the body of a black on the streets of America shot by the police than a white American, so I am now wondering why all of a sudden American politicians are now using the people they once rejected and ignored to solicit votes?

African-Americans, like native Africans, had suffered a great deal. They didn't call for slavery, but greed and cheap labor. America and Europe's desire for so much inspired them to invade Africa and capture Africans across the Atlantic to Europe and America as slaves.

Many believe that slavery still exists in many ways after the abolition, but the question is: Does it also exist in politics? The recent images of Hillary Clinton with Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z are another example of how black people are used by some politicians, and then later the police assassin bullets turn on them.

Just imagine the nature of America's politics now. It's in a complete crisis that many don't even know what comes tomorrow. Hypocrisy, blackmailing, witch-hunting, and other criminal activities are now what America's politics are made of. 

If 'Black Lives Matter' in America, it should have been the task of every American, including Hillary Clinton, to show it, but not Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi, or Patrisse Cullors. Thus, in my opinion, Hillary Clinton's dependence on black celebrities for votes is pure hypocrisy and fake. There is no love behind this.

I live in Belgium. There is no statute of Adolf Hitler because he killed six million Jews, but there is a statue of Leopold II because he killed over ten million Africans, including women and children. Many American politicians visit Brussels, but none have told the Belgian government to demolish it.

Respect is not a commodity sold at the supermarket. So if Africans and African-Americans want to be respected, they should begin to think and do everything as human beings. That will break the psychological chain still holding many people.

African-Americans can forget everything, but they shouldn't forget this story. Her name was Henrietta Lacks, but scientists know her as HeLa. She was a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951. They became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, and more. 

Henrietta’s cells have been bought and sold by the billions, yet she remains virtually unknown, and her family can’t afford health insurance. 

Such an emotional story should be in the mind of African-Americans daily and ponder over it to determine if America really loves and cares about them, or only when votes are needed in American politics.

GREED IS YOUR WORST ENEMY THAN A GOOD FRIEND

Greed is the cause of violence, crime, and killings, tearing our society apart today.

It’s now very common to read in the newspapers that ‘Man murders his wife for life insurance,’ or a woman kills her husband for the same purpose: life insurance. 


It’s unbelievable that years after marriage, because of greed and the love of money, the minds of people change to commit such a heinous crime.

Human beings by nature have the potential for greedy tendencies, but the strong desire of some people to possess at all costs wouldn’t mind killing or shedding blood to achieve whatever they are looking for. That’s the dangerous part of greed.

In a documentary film I watched recently, a drug dealer was successful in his first and second attempts to transport narcotics to Asia and earned thousands of dollars. 

Despite becoming a millionaire overnight, greed propelled him to make a third attempt, and he was arrested and jailed. Had I known, it would always be at last.

Greed, the tendency to selfish craving, hoarding, and grasping, is responsible for the violence and crime tearing our society apart today. 

Greed plays a major role in all fields, including politics, sports, and administration. In both developing and developed countries, greed leads to corruption and the amassed of wealth.

It’s shocking to see the present condition in many African countries, while some African leaders take state money and keep it in foreign accounts. 

Greed is not a problem in Africa alone, but everywhere because it’s a man’s problem; the reasons advanced countries are equally corrupt as Africa.

Money taken from Africa is classified as corruption, and that of Europe and America is classified as ‘misappropriation of funds’ because they think corruption is a word that suits Africa, but the act is the same. Some people believe that to be successful in life, the need to be greedy is necessary, but living on greed is like gradually digging your own grave.

As a matter of fact, greed makes people unhappy, stupid, corrupt, and restless because the lack of satisfaction, which urges you to crave more, takes control of you both physically and psychologically. If the heart wants it and there aren’t any means, what follows next is usually a crime. The reason desperate people do desperate things.

Some people ask if we can get rid of greed, and if possible, how can we do it? As a matter of fact, greed is like a common sickness that can be controlled but can never ever be eliminated because it’s impossible to get rid of it completely.

Even in public transport, some people take two seats, one for him/her and the other for their briefcase or handbag, while others are standing. What do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? These are some of the Biblical quotations we need to use as a guide to refrain from greed.
