Every day I go to work to make money to pay bills. I never have money left over to do anything fun, but when I try to think of what I consider fun... Well, the answer is nothing. Nothing is fun anymore.
There is no point to doing anything, or buying any material item. If you go do something, you've spent money that should be going to bills on something short-lived. In a few minutes, hours, whatever, it's over with and you have nothing to show for it.
If you buy something...nothing is made to last anymore. If you buy something, it will either break or be out of date within the next few months. Basicallly you are damned if you do and damned if you don't.
So, what can I do that makes me happy? In all honesty, nothing. This is not my home. Earth in it's current state is not my home.
I want my heavenly father to fulfill His promise to come back and end all of this misery. Everywhere we look there is death, destruction, famine, and crime. There is nothing that we can do to stop it.
The ultimate evil has taken hold of our world.
Nearly everyone in the United States is living in a fantasy world. It is a world that exists only on their electronic devices. People communicate with eachother through cell phones and the internet.
Families talk to each other from different rooms in the same house by texting one another.
People spend so much time playing games on facebook doing stupid little chores for coins by clicking their mouse instead of doing the real chores their house so sorely needs.
I am guilty of this myself. It is so easy to get caught up in that fantasy world where you are the hero and actually making a difference. The real world is a much more volitile place where people will actually disagree with you. There are no clear and defined goals or achievements. You have to make the rules yourself and then play by them (because the rules that were already made for us by God aka The Ten Commandments are too hard to live by).
So, in this world of people who don't want to deal with eachother anymore. The world where people would rather hurt others instead of help them, what do we have left?
What are we now? What have we become?
The answer is that you can still make a difference. You, yourself, individually!!! Yes, I'm talking to you!
When you are done reading this, turn off the damn computer. Turn off the radio and the TV. Do not turn them back on for a week.
This is a challenge! Can you live for an entire week with No TV, No Radio, No Internet, No Computer, No Cell Phone, No Social Media of any kind?
What will you do with your time? That's up to you, but I would suggest to start out by familiarizing yourself with the real world again. Charity starts at home. Clean your nasty house! Stop eating out, throw away all those fast food wrappers, go to the grocery store and buy some groceries. Cook your meals at home. Eat dinner at your newly cleaned dining room table with the spouse and the kids all together. Give everyone a chance to talk about their day.
Once you've taken back your house, you can start venturing out. I'm sure your community has something you can do to help. Just open your eyes. We can each make this horrible world a little easier to live in until our Heavenly Father returns for us.
