A Reflection on Today’s World

🌍 A World in Conflict: Where Has the Honor Gone?
Recently, it feels like we’ve entered a different world—one shaped not by unity and respect, but by division, anger, and desperation. The values that once held societies together—honor, empathy, and mutual respect—seem to be fading into the background.

We see people turning against each other, not just in war zones but in everyday life. Arguments escalate quickly, trust is rare, and kindness is often mistaken for weakness. It's as if the world has forgotten how to honor one another.

💢 The Rise of Anger and Crime
In this new reality, anger has become a common language. People lash out, not because they are inherently bad, but because they are overwhelmed—by stress, by unmet needs, by a system that often feels unfair. Crime rises not just from greed, but from desperation. Many are driven by the pressure to meet not just basic needs, but the growing demands of a lifestyle shaped by comparison and consumerism.

💸 The Cost of Extra Needs
We live in a time where "needs" have expanded beyond food, shelter, and safety. Now, people feel they need the latest gadgets, luxury items, and social status to feel valued. This chase for more has created a cycle of financial strain and emotional emptiness. People need more money—not always to survive, but to satisfy expectations that society has placed on them.

🌱 A Call for Change
But there is hope. Change begins with awareness. If we can recognize the loss of honor and the rise of anger, we can start to rebuild. We can choose empathy over judgment, simplicity over excess, and peace over conflict.
