Are We Getting Too Lazy Mentally ?

Now that I've been on the internet a number of years I am totally convinced that our education system needs to stress "source finding" and discernment , regarding real facts and internet viral un - truths , from kindergarten to the end of post secondary. I find it discouraging, even depressing that so many people don't care if what they just said to 500 "friends" is really factual or not. The comments on You Tube is a place I need to avoid if I want to have any hope in our future as civilised people.
Am I the only one ?

Avoid every kind of evil 1- Thess.5:22 (My radical view of movies)

(They do it very well, I might add) Matthew 5:28-29 (New International Version) But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adu...

Now, I knew my parents "good old days" consisted of the great depression and a world war that saw 50.000.000 people die . Imagine that. Let that sink in awhile. These were the "good old days". Maybe the " good old days" were good ,because, the good Lord gives us "days "at all. And the sweet,sweet people around us are among the greatest gifts of all His creation. My parents pictures of "the good old days" always consisted of lots of people, in a very small room. Anyway,I get caught up in thinking about the past .

When I was young and in despair my mother shared this book of poems with me .It was at a time, like today ,wh...
