As the world evolves it is becoming more infected with evil and temptation, what will happen in 20 years.?

Question

It's getting harder and harder for people to stay strong now days.

Answer 1

As to what will happen in 20 years is hard to say probably since the begginning of time the struggle of what is right and wrong has been in fierce battle. The fact is that the more strong emotions people experience the more they crave them. Sort of like the first high or the first orgasm once it is met for the first time the search for a better one is sought. Doing bad things and getting away with them feels kind of good to some people therefore the wrongdoings turn into evilness.

Answer 2

Unless people phrase their questions in a more hope full or positive light the world WILL be worse. You can make a tremendous contribution to the good by simply acknowledging it's presence in all things. Seeing and sharing it with others one time could literally set off a chain re-action of kindness that could save the world. It's your choice

Answer 3

It is definitely harder.

I know for me, that women are beautiful.
Beautiful ladies who expose their bodies & privates cause lust.

Lust causes temptations, wanting to do them, & I know it is harder as women dress ever more provocatively & sexy.

They practically dance right into your lap, then try to tell you that you can't have any.

I don't know if women are responsible for the world's evil or what. Remember what God said.

And being deceived she fell for the devil lies that he told her and she ate from the forbidden tree. Then she gave to Adam to eat. "Now Adam was not deceived ..." etc.

Women, the downfall of man..., yet man does so, cause he loves woman, & wants to please her. Why do women hurt man so bad like this?

It is painful, hurtful. Are women a blessing, or curse?

Answer 4

There is just more people, and media that keeps us all informed. Percentage wise of "evil" to people are probably about the same as it's always been...

Answer 5

what was happening 20 years ago?
how is it different from today?

20 years from now will be about as different.

Answer 6

There appears to have emerged a general consensus, among the Christian Right, that the world is becoming more evil, nastier, with more suffering and injustice. But is this really so? Think about this – was the world better in the half century before 1950, or in the just over half century since then?

Well, there were two world wars in 1914 and 1939, the first which killed about 30 million people, and the last about 60 million, including the near eradication of Jews in Europe. It also decimated the flower of European manhood, traumatised two entire generations, and devastated the infrastructure of entire nations. World Wars since 1950? Nil. There was a Great Depression in the 1930s which impoverished millions of people. Stalin killed millions of people in the purges of the 1930s and after the war, with whole villages starved to death. The Turks wiped out 2 million Armenian Christians.

Massive numbers of people, many many millions died through famine and disease. After 1950, new crop species in the Green Revolution largely stopped this. Millions died in Africa from smallpox, malaria and other tropical diseases, which are largely controlled today (smallpox has been eradicated). The development of penicillin in the 1940s meant that virtually no one died from septic infection anymore. This one drug alone must have saved 100 million people from death, amputation, and endless suffering. If you want to see how people lived and died in the “good old days” have a quiet walk thru a old-fashioned cemetery and see how many names are there for children and mothers who died in childbirth, how many infants never made it to 5.

Nowadays, a non-geriatric death in the family is regarded as a tragedy, before 1950 it was very common. Common also were terrible afflictions like TB and Polio. Ask someone over 60 what it was like to have the spectre of polio hanging over your head. It was hardly worth remarking on to see children with callipers on paralysed and deformed legs. Parents had to accept that they would have to spend years massaging their child’s leg, or seeing them in an “iron lung”. That disease has been eradicated in all but some small areas of Africa. (where it persists because of a superstitious backlash against vaccination). Tuberculosis (formerly known as consumption) killed millions. This is a pneumonia-like disease in which the victim coughs up pieces of their lungs until they gradually suffocate. And speaking of pneumonia – did you know that about 20 million people died during WW1, not from the war, but from the particularly aggressive pneumonia strain that existed then.

Of course, you might imagine that the social and working aspects of life were better before 1950 than they are now. Think again. Have you ever read that great classic of John Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath”. This deals with the incredible suffering of Oklahoma farmers obliged to go fruit picking in California after their farms collapsed via the “dust bowl” conditions of the time. Subsequently, they were exploited, worked to death, cheated and tricked, denied elementary health care forced to watch unsold but perfectly good food rot behind barbed wire, while they starved to death. The book ends with such a scene that no one who has read it can ever forget. The family is literally starving, and the young girl gives birth to a stillborn baby. Then, as they face death from starvation, they find another man, alone and on the verge of starvation himself. The girl offers her breast to him, trying to get him to drink her milk. And this happened not in 1830 but in 1930! And in America! Workers were robbed, and paid a pittance in many areas. They worked in conditions which would break every safety law in the book today. Countless numbers died or were maimed, “on the job”. Others contracted diseases like “black lung” from terrible conditions. And there was no old-age pension, no money for children, no unemployment benefits, no superannuation, no free medical services, no compensation for the death or injury of workers, no retrenchment allowances, no “golden handshake”, no guaranteed holidays, or hours.

Were morals better? Well, speaking of the 1930s, can you think of a city today that had more serious crime than Chicago in the 1930s. And to go back a bit further, wouldn’t you say that the “law and order” situation has improved since the days of the Wild West. I think a lot of evil morality was simply swept under the carpet before 1950. Orphanages and asylums were places of endless sexual and physical assault. Those in charge in those and other institutions had enormous power over people in their care. A great deal of sexual harassment and outright assault and rape went on, simply unreported. Children are probably much safer now than they were in the “good old days” of the early 20th Century.

So be of better cheer, my friend. You might think that this is a bad old world today, but, to paraphrase a song

Let me take you by the hand,
And lead you thru the streets of history,
And I will show you something
That will make you change your mind.

Answer 7

i think maybe more different because of the rate of technological advances.
