How often do we ask ourselves these questions?

We live and do things without asking ourselves imperial questions that will give clarity on why we do certain things, what guides our actions and whether those actions are well thought.  I often wondered how many times do we lay awake at night and reflect on the activities of the day and whether we are proud of what we did, and also if those actions are who we are and the footprint we want to leave in this world once we move on to the land of the dead.

I often asked myself why it is so easy for human beings to reject a good person, yet we stay with someone who takes us through hell, why is it so easy for us to leave home, but so hard for us to come out of a hole.  Why do we sleep in school, but yet stay awake through a three hour movie.  Most importantly I ask myself why is it so hard to talk about God, but so easy to talk about premarital sex and why it is so easy to get married and yet so hard to invite God to be part of the marriage and help us not cheat.  Why is it so easy for us to say we love someone and yet so hard to remain faithful.  I asked myself many  times and I would direct this question to my kids and the youth of today  about the reasons that make it difficult for them to look at a Christian or any other religious book but find it easy to read gossip and the reason why churches are getting small whereas bars and clubs are expanding.

I may not have answers for these questions but I am sure that most of the social ills that we are experiencing today are as a result of us not asking ourselves whether what we doing is beneficial to us and the entire community.  Most of the morals and values we were raised by vanished with the last century now it’s more fashionable to conduct ourselves in a manner that does not develop us.  My only hope is for us to go back and ask ourselves whether we want to continue in this disruptive manner or go back to our roots and regenerate our morals.
