i was thinking a little about how the bible says in the last days people will be lovers of themselves
we appear to be in the midst of that with the vanity we see.. the selfies.. people who are quick to throw others in the trash (aka delete them and block them and treat them like they don't exist), the frivolous divorces, the "relationships" where you agree to everything except patience and commitment, the way we treat our elders.. the way we go on social media and only show the good aspects of our lives etc so i was thinking about this and i was thinking about the "why's" behind it all i will try to speculate i think one big reason why this stuff happens is because of the breakdown of marriage, and lack of marriage which leads to the breakdown of family and lack of family the parents are not content without a spouse and they are out searching and finding more people to have sex with and they are getting hurt in the process... the children of these people are obviously neglected and grow up wanting more validation and attention and so they get it from fronting on the gram or from the opposite sex or whatever people today as a result of the things i have described are constantly feeding their own egos but they are actually less content than people 40, 50, 60 yrs ago for example a girl once told me "if i want attention i can post a picture online and get 300 comments" now that's fine and everything but she is in her mid 30s and single with no kids what i'm saying is.. we are oftentimes substituting true contentment for short bursts of attention/stimulation now when u think about true contentment- here's the thing.. it doesn't only come from receiving (love, time attention, gifts, accolades, etc) IT ALSO INCLUDES GIVING LOVE i think this is where we are missing it today we take and receive but we don't give and we wonder why we are not ultimately fulfilled.. but you cannot just receive and be fulfilled, if you are a vessel you must also give its like when you put in a hard day of work- you feel a sense of fulfillment.. when you go hard at the gym- you have given of your self and you feel fulfillment.. when you pour into others and act unselfishly.. you feel contentment.. we are missing this ingredient today you want sex without kids you want love without commitment you want blessings without God you want attention without friendship "i will let him take me out but i won't cook for him" "i'll smash her but i'll never marry her" this just seems to be what the climate is like today.. when will we remember that we have to give of ourselves for true contentment and fulfillment? anyway... i just wanted to speak a few words on the modern day social landscape
