Have you ever complain about how bad is our society these days? Have you ever complain about the bad government? Complain about so much criminality, drugs, and bad education? I confess, that I have done that.  I complain, about how bad government manages society problems, I complain, about education; I complain about drugs, complain about discrimination, and so on, and on.  Today, there are so much society problems that I don’t know from where to start to fix it if I were the president of a nation.

The other day, I was talking with my older son, and he was telling me about a rap artist that when he was young he sell drugs because he was “alone” and he do not have other alternative to make money and survive. The rapper ends up in jail. I tell my son that what the rapper action was wrong, because there is other alternatives other than sell drugs, that there is always other alternatives. His comment freaks me out a little bit, but I talk, and re-talk to him that there are always other options.

Later on that week, I was talking with someone, and this person told me about one time that s/he was in really bad economic shape and desperate that s/he think in transport drugs from one point to other. I told this person that is just not right think about it, yes you not are consuming the drug, but you are putting available to other people maybe kids to sell and consume it.  I just connect my son comment with her/his story, and I really get upset.  I told her/him imaging that you did the transportation and my son have that thinking of making easy and fast money (he is vulnerable) what do you think will happened?

We all are part of a society we like it or not. If we, as individual people have an individual thinking (selfish thinking) we, as society never will prosper. Each and every one of us is part of a community, society, culture, and country. What are you going to do to change the society that you complain so much about it? Yes, you might not be able to change the whole system, but you can make the difference in you house, work, family circle, and friend circle. Think about that, what you can do? You just need do baby steps.

Hebrews 10:24-25

²⁴ And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, ²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
