Ecclesiastes - Deja Vu. Do some acts of kindness, while there is time to do so.

 It's the same as before, only a variation of a theme.  Another "active shooter" incident at a college in Nevada.  The term "active shooter" itself seems ridiculous.  Once the gunman stops shooting is he or she deemed an "inactive" shooter?  Just call it what it is.  A murderer on the loose.  Use all means to defend yourself or actively engage the shooter with the idea of ensuring they never harm anyone else again.  Then you hear that the shooter died from a self inflicted wound.  What was the point of hurting/killing innocent people?  Just so you can have your name added to the list of people who could not function in this world?

This world has seen all types of evil.  Some we may never know about, because their evil was never discovered.  Even now someone is being injured, held captive, or headed towards death because of the actions of someone else. 

The book of Ecclesiastes in the bible sums it up quite well.  We think what we are going through is new, but it has happened before.  In some cases the incidents were never recorded.  Through all the drama we have been through as human beings, you would think there would be a manual for us to be given at birth with a list of actions/thoughts that we must avoid as human beings.  But what happens?  No matter what we are told, or what we read about, we commit the same negative actions.  We do what we want regardless of the circumstances.

People talk about the coming of a new world war.  Well, what else is new?  The world has constantly been in a status where there is some type of conflict or war going on.  The reasons vary.  Greed, property disputes, religious disputes and of course just plain human arrogance and stupidity.

We are predictable in how much evil we can commit.  It's the kind actions.  The generosity and caring for each other that keeps the world from going into total chaos.  Just remember.  Mankind was wiped out before by our Creator.  Human life has already been identified to come to an end one day.  Wars, natural disasters, climate change.  It's all happened before.  We were not designed to exist forever.  Try to do as many acts of kindness and good while you are here.  Nothing else matters.
