The war between greed and peace

We all desire peace. Deep down in the depths of our hearts we want that feeling of good. We see it in our movies, in our stories; good overcoming evil. Our world has become greedy. We are only looking out for ourselves, to include me. It is obvious that this desire for greed and peace can not coexist.

When will we learn?

Greed is temporary satisfaction, but peace spans beyond a lifetime. If there is no good force, no desire for purpose, then we become empty vessels floating to an inevitable doom. Although it may seem like we are getting the most out of life by collection our "toys", in the end you can't take them with you. By giving yourself fully to your creator and owning nothing, you will find your purpose.

We (being the only known life in our solar system capable of emotion and a desire to seek meaning for our existence) are fully responsible for the lives of our planet. What is stopping us from making a change and taking that responsibility? Our society feeds on greed; break free from its grasp. There is a better life for you, one with purpose. One that will span beyond your life here on earth.
