The Convulsion of Society
The modern society is sick, everybody already knows, and unhappily we already got used to the fact, as in the case of a family member who there are years is sick: passed the first inquietudes, everybody makes comfortable and the life follows its course. But lately this sick one (the society), it comes having terrifying convulsions! The " Case Richthofen" (the daughter who planned the parents' murder); the university student that killed the grandmother and the maid, alleging to be under the effect of drugs; the being brought to light of the " Case Pedrinho " and perhaps of " Maria Aparecida ", kidnapped in the childhood, or the retired teacher Luciana (92 years), in wheel chairs, beaten violently until death by the maid that was kept in the act for an occult camera; the increase of the violence among israelis and Palastinians and fragility of relationships USA x IRAQ.
The Death Swiss psychiatrist Paul Tournier, said that as well as a person that repressed its more intimate desires and needs, she becomes neurotic; the modern world, rationalist and technological, have repressed the faith, the religion, the ethics, finally the spirituality, and now its neurosis is more and more evident, and the patient faces a compulsive, uncontrollable scene, for the medicines prescribed by this same " modern " culture, such as: information, education, health, democracy, etc...
According to other psychoanalyst, Erik Fromm: " ...it would not be an eloquent demonstration that: " Not only of bread the man lives?"
In face of that, dear siblings, none Christian have the right to disallow the friends, colleagues, family the simple message of the Gospel: " in any other one there is salvation... " ONLY JESUS CHRIST SAVES.
