We have replaced human value with greed for money!

It’s amazing the increasing number of wars that seem to be steered across the globe. As to the sources of the weapons used, or who profits the most, is questionable, but the aftermath or the consequences of such action are not included in the scenario.

Despite the millions of lives lost, or the destruction of property, homes and displacement of record numbers of thousands, it seems to matter not, as governments, rich folks, religious leaders and intellectual minds – they all find justification for the cause of conflicts or mass destruction.

Just like in the medical and scientific business: the more destruction or human disasters that happen, the better for business.

Just recently, an international plague called COVID was unleashed, but the profiteers were the vaccine providers. Granted there were many spin-offs such as more coffins, body-bags and people needing medical attention, they all came at a cost and the bottom line is always that it happens all in the name of business.

Today you hear of many foods consumed by the general public that are contaminated, or basically poisoned, but seem not to matter because the world’s population can be replenished because of our reproduction culture.

Man, as the Son of God, or the Creation of a higher power, means nothing, because all men are dispensable and equally disposable and virtues, or beliefs, or origin, are of no more importance.

Destruction of one sector or grouping of any society is of no importance to the craving of riches. One will sleep with The Devil, if needs be, to obtain wealth and power.

As commonly said, “money talks and bullshit walks” and money is a means to an end and all who already have always seem to want more, on the basis that the more you have is the more you need.

The human race is under threat, the living planet is also under threat, our future as mankind, hangs on a thin thread, but this logical conclusion seems not to be at the forefront of our imagination, not of concern to those who shape our destiny.

As a people we are reduced to the haves and have-nots, the needy and those very much in more need than others, or between the oppressed and the suppressed, with no human value apart from being the source of wealth to those who crave it.

Nobody is on Man’s side, no leaders think contrary to this philosophy, nobody rebels against this type of thinking, like we are conditioned to toe the line. To live is a blessing, to die is expected, but not from natural cases but by the condemnation of the selected few.

Choices most of us don’t have. Destiny is not controlled by us and the way of the world is determined by the rich. So, as we say in our native tongue of wisdom ‘Nou pwee en-sa!’
