Cruel. XXI Century.

How good that with the help of chronology we can safely observe the course of our life. After all, now it is not at all an issue to open a textbook from history or to find on the Internet the whole history of all mankind: from the beginning of civilization to our days. Today, probably, with the amount of information in general there are no problems, because the sphere of information and communications is now at the highest level. We can safely observe for each century, analyze, draw conclusions, see changes in progress and, most importantly, achievements. After all, in every century, there have been some changes in the development and consciousness of mankind. People acquired experience, discovered something new, studied, expanded the horizons of their being, and the worldview also changed. Mankind can only be proud of its inventions and technological progress. But let's take a closer look at our twenty-first century, the centuries in which we live here and now. What is there to say? Of course, our time is famous for very rapid development, progress in almost all spheres, ingenuity, new technologies, fast development of telecommunication systems and programs, and this list can be continued. But, fortunately or unfortunately, not only the external world is changing, but the inner world of us too. It seems to me that right now, in our time, there is the greatest activity of two human resistances: good and evil. Namely, in the 21st century it will be decided who will win this long and inviting battle. Personally, my opinion, unfortunately, is not comforting, but I do not impose it on anyone and try to keep it to myself, I hope that everything can be changed and the bright side will triumph.

I want to ask you to look at the ordinary today from my lines. I think that everyone will see something close to him in spirit, somewhere he will see himself, he will draw conclusions from something.

For any normal person, the morning starts with a hike to work, if it is not a day off, charging, breakfast and general gathering for work, or somewhere on business. Going out into the street, each of us faces a big world: the world of different people, situations, problems. Walking along the streets, we notice that everyone is walking, thinking, in a distant world of some problems and experiences, personal anxieties or happiness, everyone experiences his drama of life. For most people, the morning often starts badly: all because of the morning news review in the world. And here we are faced with this huge evil that covers our inner and outer world. After reading the morning news, on any day of the week and even on a big holiday, we can conclude: unfortunately, we live in a world of cruelty and cynicism, in a world where there is no humaneness and kindness in the world of hypocrisy and greed, lack of spirituality and lack of generosity. This wave covers people with incredible speed and goes farther and farther, that sometimes you just want to scream. Cruelty and indifference simply absorb people. Materialism, pride, hypocrisy - this is the main part of human existence to this day. After all, it's already hard to trust someone else. People feel terrible hatred for each other, in the face of each they see the enemy, and God forbid, once again they will smile at the passerby or say "Thanks!" In the store, not to mention helping those who need and at the same time nothing Do not ask in return. We only expect something good from others, we demand attention to ourselves, we always think that we owe that the world, God, does not give us enough something. We condemn someone else's opinions, bad deeds, and after a while we do the same. The saddest thing is that we do not notice this, accordingly, we do not make conclusions and do not change ourselves. We think that when we come to the store, the seller should "kiss our feet", because we leave not small amounts of money there, but at the same time, leaving, even thank you, we will not say for help in the successful selection of shoes. In a word, we only demand, but do not give anything in return. But, in order to receive, you must first give, and maybe more than once, and at the same time not demand anything. At the right moment in our life, everything will come back to us.

We stopped even paying attention to people in need of help or deadly sick, because, in the hearts of many, lies deceit and lies, hypocrisy and domination. Who then believe? This question remains open.

And what do we have? Cruel world of heartless people? What will our children and grandchildren be proud of? Which example do we serve? I will leave the conclusions to each of us individually.
