The dearth to Learning despite the increase in knowledge is disturbing. How can there be so much knowledge and such few wisdom? Today I'm highlighting the second of these ills. Its the culture of INSTANT GRATIFICATION! This particular one explains why we have so many young people who can't wait for anything. Their mentality is the SEED-HARVEST paradigm. Very contrary to the SEED-TIME-HARVEST paradigm God put in place from the beginning. People can't wait to make money. People can't wait to have sex. People can't wait to become "oga at the top". etc. The effect of this new culture is: 1) More sex but no love 2) More money but no value 3) More rulers but no leaders 4) More churchgoers but no disciples And the list is endless Imagine a man who has not contributed anything to his society but wants to ride the best cars. Another one wants to do what their parents do without taking on the attached responsibilities. Explains why people jump queues (and cause unnecessary hold-ups). I can literally write a book on the ill effects of this defect in our culture today. The following questions will help you assess yourself before we get down (tomorrow) to the solution to this cancerous ill in our society: 1) Do you earn more than the value you create? 2) Do you want to start at the top (disdain for growth processes)? 3) Do you start a relationship before being ready for its attached responsibilities? 4) Do you demand when you have no resources to supply? When you give so little and get so much, eventually you won't amount to much. Life is a series of exchanges. Seed, Time and Harvest shall not cease (Bible) What are you giving for what you desire? Poverty (not only money) comes as a result of having NOTHING to EXCHANGE! God bless you and have a productive and stress-less day({})
