There are reports that the current leader of China is in big trouble. According to reports, he is fighting to maintain his position as his supporters are losing a lot of money.
In the USA, families are being torn apart due to recent changes in immigration law. In China, over 14 million people are graduating from universities and seeking jobs. Most of them will fail and stay with their parents.
This is the same in India and the United States; there are just not enough jobs, and many are too lazy to work the available jobs. My friend from Nigeria told me (he works at a mat processing plant) that his co-workers are in their 60s and 70s!
There are reports that China is gearing up to attack Taiwan very, very soon.
This is only scratching the surface of the many problems that are growing worse and worse.
For example, today I went down with students to buy them some ice cream. I saw one of the students' fathers sitting in a very expensive SUV. I looked at him and I saw myself. I knew right away that he did not own that SUV. He is paying some monthly payments for it. Likely, he has a few credit cards and a household debt that worries him. When I saw him, he did not smile. How can he? He is likely stressed and does what I used to do. Hang out with friends, drink, and try to forget our problems. While doing this, he and his friends brag or show off the things they have. In short, this man's life is not stable.
South Korean families have a huge amount of debt on their shoulders. This does not lead to stability. Who wants to be a slave to a bank?
Last week, a man driving an expensive Benz sedan smashed into two other Benz vehicles (one was an SUV and the other a sedan). The SUV he hit lurched forward and crashed into a minibus that was parked in front of the SUV. He was speeding down that narrow road. Now this leads to even more loss of stability for that man and two other families, and a school that owns that minibus.
From worldwide issues to small local examples, this world is not stable. It is getting worse!
I am so glad that the veil is ripped off my eyes. Here in South Korea, the snare of materialism is strong, and many are caught by it.
In South Korea, many people think chasing and worshiping money and acquiring things will make one happy. This is not the case in reality. They stab themselves with these pursuits. This lifestyle is not the one Jesus, our reigning king, tells us to follow. The fact that people are so stressed out in South Korea really shows that running after the wind makes for an increasingly unstable world.
