The frequency of natural and manmade disasters has been on the rise in recent years. The number of airplane crashes, train derailments, shipwrecks and other accident seems incalculable. It is impossible to track all those fatalities because some people are inclined toward death. Some people do not want to live but want to hurry up and die, which is one of the reasons why they develop all kinds of murder weapons and compete to destroy our planet. Living in this time and era, it would be better for us to look back to the source of the problem. How did the world reach this point, facing such dangers? Some people on the face of this earth are waiting for death to arrive at any time, especially given that AIDS and cancer are rampant. The major reason that cancer exists is because people eat meat and have taken lives of living creatures. Earth, water, and air are all polluted, all material resources are contaminated too. This kind of pollution cannot be cleansed with water because they are manifestations of what is within. There is not a place that has not been touched by poison or contamination. Animals, in particular, are eating feed full of chemicals or being shot with hi-tech drugs, then murdered for human consumption. Meat then creates all kinds of ill effects in humans who consume it. Animals and human beings hurt each other, the byproducts of which are cancer and other bizarre, unidentifiable and incurable diseases.

Take a look at how there are more and more retarded children in countries around world. This is because the entire globe is polluted. Parents take drugs and do not observe propriety, indulging in lust and pleasure. Retarded children are one effect.

As far as AIDS, it started because of homosexual behavior. Yin and yang are the two kinds of energy in the universe. When these two energies blend, the universe is at peace. If yin and yang switch positions or that there is all yin and no yang and vice versa, serious and fatal illnesses for many will be the result. Human beings are worse than animals now. We know that opposites attract and likes repel, heaven and earth have their roles so that all things are nurtured. But today, heaven and earth are in the wrong places, so all things are not being nurtured; in fact, they're about to become extinct soon! Why are they in the wrong positions? Homosexuality may be very popular now, but it is the root cause of death of a country and humanity. The entire human race can be wiped out because of it. Since everyone has the death wish, AIDS has spread far and wide. If we do not become acquainted soon with the basic morality and virtues to being human, the consequences will be unimaginable.

To avert this major disaster, this incomparable and unprecedented catastrophe, everyone must discontinue their lust and emotional love. Do not be promiscuous or practice homosexual behavior. Practice restraint and self-respect. Furthermore, kids ought to be given basic education that is proper so that they do not take drugs, drink, prostitute and gamble, doing nothing but hang out and eat and be lazy. While educating kids, do not let them do anything wrong like murder, arson, or robbery. While they're young, provide them with the basics through education. Why are problems related to young people rampant now? It is because parents only give birth to children but to do not educate them. It is said, "it is the father's fault for raising the child without teaching him; it is the teacher's laziness that the child is taught but not in a strict manner." We must solve the problems at their root. Do not advocate for homosexuality or condone homosexuality. If people do not restrain their sexual desire, then this country, other countries, or the whole world even, will become extinct. Why? Homosexuals do not give birth to children. Likes repel: yang contends with yang, poisoning and hurting each other so that there are incurable diseases. But most people still refuse to admit this; they're deceiving themselves by stealing bells with their ears plugged. Some say, "If we lock male rats in a box, sooner or later they will have homosexual behavior." But people are the most intelligent among all creatures, why should we imitate animals? Furthermore, has anyone locked people in a cage? Rats [in that situation] are forced, but people have the right to choose. Why should people imitate animals? It is utterly absurd! Ridiculous!

Traditional forms of education in Asia teach children how to be human beings. It promotes the eight virtues of filial respect, brotherhood, loyalty, trustworthiness, propriety, justness, incorruptibility, and a [healthy] sense of shame. "Follow that which is right. Change that which is wrong. If it is the Way, then proceed. It is not the Way, then recede." But western societies are obsessed with freedom; they misinterpret freedom so that it is freedom without responsibility. The young are not taught well; the elder are not cared for; things are done in reverse. Why give birth to children if they will not be taught? Parents who give birth to children then spoil them rotten and allow them do commit all kinds of crime are in essence committing a crime too. In western societies, elders are abandoned. The elderly are not cared for because they are depraved of respect and protection. Ideally, "those who are elder have a final refuge, those in their prime have their uses, and those who are young have their development." Fifty-year-olds may not be warm unless they cover themselves with some blankets, seventy-year-olds may not feel full unless they have meat (meat in ancient times were not full of toxins the way meat products are now). When people are older, their eyes become blurry and their heads becomes woozy, they become hard of hearing and their teeth fall out. They're very sad. Most people are not really being selfish by having kids to insure they live a happy old age. Young people should take care of elders, otherwise, what is the use of getting married and having kids?

Many parents misinterpret freedom and let kids develop however they please. Consequently, maybe one or two out of ten thousand kids will understand what is right. True, some people have an innate understanding of the truth, but not everyone can do what is right and change what is wrong. If children develop freely rather than are taught and pruned, the results will be, "those who draw near rouge are rosy and those who draw near ink are black. Tainted by gray, one turns gray; tainted by yellow, one turns yellow."

Why do teenagers in the West have such serious problems with drugs? Starting in elementary or junior high school, there are plenty of opportunities for students to be near drug dealers. They develop the bad habit of taking recreational drugs. Drug dealers say this drug will make you smart or happy, but it will actually make you die young. People who take drugs become more and more stupid. After taking drugs, children enjoy a devilish high. Their high does not come from concentration but come from being controlled by drugs. They may, for example, stand at an intersection for several hours and not move. Teenagers who walk down this road of freedom will eventually end up on death row. This kind of freedom is misinterpreted and totally irresponsible!

There is another thing, presently, elementary schools, secondary schools and universities all advocate sex, which is another major reason why education is bankrupt. It is absolutely wrong! We should teach children not to be promiscuous, that they should respect themselves and stay pure. Do not let them watch TV all day so that they are swallowed by that monster. What kind of world is it where five or six year olds watch TV all day and learn to hug and touch like men and women? What kind of freedom is that?

Many teachers in schools do not provide students with the basic values of being human beings, but actually encourage them to earn more and more money. Medicine, science, etc. are all hot majors that will lead to big money. Nothing else matters to them. Why do I say education is bankrupt? It is because people have ignored the fundamentals and gone after the unimportant details. Unfilial people have forgotten their roots, but now we even reject our roots. People are only interested in earning money, not repaying kindness. They only care about the pleasures of eating, drinking and being merry, not taking care of their parents. A tree without roots will wither; people who have lost their roots will die. People are like zombies now. They get up at the crack of dawn to make a living. They forget the human values and contradict them. They're only interested in helping themselves and not other people. Some well known schools will entice students with incentives. Students who bear gifts for their teachers will be taught as to how to compete and be first place, how to manipulate and deceive others, and how to hanker after reputation. Is not this a bankrupted education system? Hasn't civility been swept aside?

Most people do not enjoy what I have to say, but I have to say it. I am representing God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, and saints when I say these things. If these issues only concern myself, then I wouldn't talk about them, but this is the key to the preservation of the entire human race, so I have to say it as it is, whether people enjoy it or not!
