WHAT HAPPENED TO PEACE AND HUMANITY?

The events of recent times present us with and bear clear witness to the catastrophic situation that is occupying our entire planet. Peoples are suffering atrocious suffering at the hands of those who govern badly and greedily, reopening wounds and interminable global misunderstandings. The earth silently sheds tears of blood together with those who would like to change something for the better, often raising their voices, as long as no one listens to them. Many would be ready for the radical change of everything that affects a better world, fighting with all their strength against those who hinder progress and development or against those who make them available for purposes of power, exploiting millions of people including many minors. There are very few who make themselves available to the defenseless. There is also a well-known overriding of situations that should be the main problems to be solved. No one allows or deigns to give space and voice to that worries us every moment. Injustices, relentless wars, conflicts, threats put the future of humanity at great risk and jeopardize it. Let's pause for a moment on the last word. We name mankind even though we know that no trace of human marrow remains on its trunk. Blood no longer flows in the veins of Peace. That word has lost its way. No one loves anyone anymore. Everyone is attentive and happy to run, whoever arrives first to undo what God has created, thus satisfying their sick ego, the consequence of all evils towards those who exonerate and contemplate only the Good. Every individual on this earth is aware that the salvation of nature and the planet depends on each one of Us. Every single living being has the task and must be dutiful to what he would justly and undoubtedly do justice to Him, the Almighty who placed at our disposal His perfection, His creations, His goodness of heart and all the infinite wonders of nature. Let's observe for a moment everything that surrounds us: we will have the confirmation that EVERYTHING is within reach of its creatures. We must also carefully observe our inadequacy, because this is what we have willed and transformed, this is what we have imposed in contrast to what our Creator would have wanted and still wants. No one can remain indifferent to this swarm that involves not only us present today, but also those who will be after us: the new generation. What awaits them from this filth of ours with which we have "colored" and "dressed" the world, causing the eyes to become muddy, so No one sees Anyone anymore. That is why we have become cold, insensitive to others. By now the Earth is sick and you don't need a scientist's thesis to know it. This appears and is evident in the light of day. Since our Earth is no healthier than God created it, we are all infected and not only by many pathological diseases but also by spiritual ones.  
Our karma coexists without indulgence, attributing only fame and appearance belonging to today's technology which, although evolving and good in growth, is still a detriment to society. Most people, including many young people, spend their time on social networks, almost no one reads the great poets, contemporary writers, there is little interest in art and culture. We have created a virtual world, where only falsehood and nothingness are viewed. In many groups on different platforms, magazines and online newspapers, "poets", "writers" and "artists" of all kinds appear, without any value, fading and taking away from those who deserve so much. All this leads to an irreparable harm to writing and not only that, as well as denigrating true contemporary literature in general.
