Black people are more likely than any other race to die, to be incarcerated, and to experience oppression globally.
People and institutions may oppress those who speak or write the truth due to a complex interplay of power dynamics, fear of consequences, and the maintenance of control. Individuals in positions of authority often feel threatened when the truth undermines their power or exposes wrongdoing, leading to retaliation against truth-tellers.
Crimes are committed for the sake of something in every society but it’s a fact that the love of money or the desire to be rich has sharply increased violence and crimes in every part of the world today.
Money is
good because it helps us to pay our bills, keeps life moving with roofs over
our head, keeps providing us the necessary life amenities, with feeding,
clothing and education.
Despite the importance of money, the bible says that “For the love of money is a root of
all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith
and pierced themselves with many grieves.”
Why then
everyone is after money and some even follow them to their death? Why money
does have so much power that when you are poor no one respects you unless you
are rich?
Even though
many riches are not acquired in a genuine way but either through illicit
activities, crime, or corruption, many still respect them, simply because they
are rich and the poor who is never corrupt is despised.
The love of
money has sharply increased that many don’t value life any longer. If it’s
necessary to kill someone for that money they will do it. People kill others
daily to rob them of their money. The craze for money has led to a sharp
increase in crime without remedy.
Humans are enveloped with harmful products, including drugs, and vaccines because the manufacturers are interested in money but not the precious life of a human. Thus, there are so many fake drugs and vaccines in the system gradually taking their toll on humans.
Colossians 2: 8 reads "See to it
that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to
human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not
according to Christ."
Yet we can acknowledge the fact that the love of money has taken people captives by philosophy because most rich people turn to be very cruel. Their money gives them the power to commit so many crimes people never expect them to do.
Despite how wealthy many people are living, they are restless and their money can't give them the happiness they are looking for. Indeed, money can't buy happiness and love, this one of the reasons many rich people often commit suicide.
Most rich people's lives are far from God and have nothing to do with the bible, yet you will find bibles in their rooms, almost every corner of their luxury mansions because they think that will give them rest and salvation.
The success of a man is not measured by his money, luxury cars, and mansions he owns, even though that's what people view others as successful. The purpose of your life, your mission on earth, and your good deeds make you who you are but not your wealth.
Never wish to become someone because you don't know what means he or she gets the money. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul at the end?
People must learn to be content with what they have. That's the only solution to heal this world of hate, jealousy and to reduce crime.
