"People killing, people dying                                                                                                                 Children hurting, you hear them crying." 


  That is part of a song called Where Is the Love by: The Black Eyed Peas. It posed a great question. Why are people killing others? Why are children dying? In today's society, if you are born into the 'hood' there is a small chance of you getting out alive. Whey do people in the 'hood' kill each other? Why do they do drugs, deal drugs, trick young children into doing drugs? For money. In modern society it's all about money. And expensive things. And 'my car is better then yours' and so on. People dwell on material things so much that they will do anything to get money. Jobs are hard to find with the economy as bad as it is but what the President doesn't understand is that printing more money isn't going to make it better! It's going to make it worse! If we don't have enough gold to back up our money then the dollar is just a piece of fancy paper. And nobody cares about fancy paper. They only care about the money. Money and material things don't matter to me because when I die, none of that is coming with me. When I go up into Heaven to live the eternal life with God, none of that is coming with me. So you can worry about money, material items, and status all you want, but as quoted from a Linkin Park song, "In the end, it doesn't even matter."
