A young person may be able to fill some of these with money and power or success, but eventually, when you have thought of your position in this life, you inevitably ask "Is this all there is?" Young people will ask "If it's this bad now, I don't want to get older".
Jesus represents hope. We run to Him when we can't see the answers. We believe Him when He makes promises to us. Spiritually speaking, we believe when we went under water at baptism, our flesh died and we rose as a new creature. If you believe you have already died here, there is no fear of the future. We live our life with the assurance that if our body dies, we get a new one.
Atheists have no faith. They see the end coming and are petrified with fear. They try to convince themselves that they are just worm food on the hoof. Romans 1 speaks of this folly. We say there is no Creator, so He give us over to a reprobate or a debased mind. We think we are wise, but are really fools. This is where evil becomes good and good becomes evil. It is a form of insanity that overtakes society to the point that we cannot decide who is a man or woman and animals have more worth than people. If this mental illness is not treated, eventually you will take your life or someone else's.
I think most of us can admit that a person that commits suicide has some mental imbalance. Many that have lived through suicide attempts say they were crying out for help. If they believe Jesus is there to help them, and that He loved them enough to give His life for them, these thoughts flee from their heads. Living for Christ means "Living for Christ". If we are more concerned with doing His will instead of ours, our brains are bulletproof. If we rely on whatever Christ wants for us he will provide for us, then we can't dwell on the lack of money, relationships, or whatever else the enemy has put in our mind.
The two celebrity suicides recently are perfect examples of money and fame not making you happy. If a woman living alone in a ghetto can love God, that right there should show that another woman in the same ghetto taking heroine to forget their troubles does NOT have to happen. When multimillionaires and TV personalities are self destructive, the answers have to be spiritual, NOT physical.
IMO, Marxism, eating veggies, and the other things are just manifestations of believing you are on your own. When we believe God created the universe, then He can fix the climate, economy, or whatever else, even our love life. Nothing is too hard for God. I've seen it with my own eyes.
Well said.
