Do you think people nowadays are more understanding or less? Although we have advanced our instantaneous means of communication, there has never been so much misunderstanding among people. Anyone who spends 5 minutes on the internet can confirm this.

Well, in a fast-paced world, where people are rushing to and fro anxiously to do and have everything quickly, who has time to pay attention to something or someone? To understand, you need to listen, be interested, concentrate and focus. And people no longer have the patience to listen to anyone. Added to this, there is growing selfishness, because, today, we live in the most ego-centric generation that humanity has ever had. A generation of the “I”, of the selfie. In short: hurried lives, attention deficit and increasing doses of selfishness.

Divorces increase with the lack of understanding, and parents and children are growing apart, among other problems. Nowadays, no one dares to speak their minds under the penalty of being cancelled. However, we cannot change the world; we can only change ourselves. And where you have the power to do something (in the family, at work), be aware of that fast-paced life the world wants you to have.

The Lord Jesus sometimes withdrew to be alone, away from the noise and the rush, to reflect and talk with God. Sometimes you have to turn off your mobile phone and look your wife or husband in the eye. Sometimes you need to talk to yourself. No one who is accelerated can focus. Meditate on the Word of God. The more we meditate on God’s Word, the less selfish we are. Don’t expect to be understood by everyone. Watch the video above and think about this important topic.
