The end of the world?

I am very confused about what is happening these days. The world seems to have lost much of its warmth. There are many disputes in politics, and loss of dignity, respect and trust are rampant these days.

How to solve the current problems? I have no idea, I can only worry. Sometimes the past seems more attractive to me.

Globalization brings good things with the bad. We cannot refuse the changes, some of which may be useful for our nation's development, or we will be out of competition.

I would suggest to everyone to preserve religious values and to keep remembering that God is always beside us.
