This may be an off subject post, but a subject that is bothering me more and more these days. Do people really care about each other? Have they actually ever cared?
I know we live in a fallen world that will only get worst as it has been only getting worst. I know that the constant changing in and advancement of media technologies is adding to this world getting worst. But we all fall victim to technology and media if we choose to. We are never in a ‘have to’ corner. We can use media technologies for good and bad both. To care and hurt as we feel desire to. So it’s a choice. Not a reason why people don’t care anymore or less. People have the ability to care as much or as little regardless of the media and technologies we are presented. So media technologies is not an excuse or explanation as best as I can see it to weather people really care.
I see less and less true caring of people these days. From family to friends to co-works to strangers and yes, even with in fellow believers. Less true caring about or for each other and more seems to be only playing games to reach their own selfish agendas. It’s sad and very discouraging for many to see that people just don’t really care. That hypocritical behavior is so common and the norm. I see this and I know others see it too. I’ve heard others complain about this and similar things.
Yes, we live in a fallen world and I don’t expect much of the non-believers to care or be anything but hypocrites. Until they believe, I expect most of them to be two face, self center, back stabbing hypocrites. But our own families? Fellow believers? That I don’t expect. That one hurts and is very heart breaking.
Family that doesn’t actually care about each other. Fellow believers that fake it to your face. I’ll pray for you, knowing full well they have no intentions of praying for you or even giving you a thought once you are our of their sight. This is what really bothers me and makes me wonder if people really do care or ever have cared. Family and fellow believers. Pretty loving comforting words to your face, but completely different words and actions behind your back, Hypocrites on any average day, at best they can be. Sad. So sad.
When you are out of sight, you are out of mind. Out of heart. When you have no use to their agenda, you have no value. You are just a disposable tool to be used as needed and then discarded without thought. A means to their ends, but of no real value as a person or real love. Is this who we really are to each other? I wonder. Many wonder. Do people really care? Have they ever really cared? What now? What’s left to do now?
