REMEMBER THIS. It's a SIMPLE concept but not easy to absorb or accept.
Humans haven't changed ONE IOTA since the very beginning of humanity. We are EXACTLY the same, only there are many more of us.
In 1800 the world's population hit one billion, so the historians say. Now we are 6+ billion. So, MUCH more sin, since there are so many more sinners.
We live longer; we are healthier; we are better educated. HOWEVER, we, as the human race, are not ONE IOTA smarter, dumber, nicer, meaner, happier or sadder, better or worse. We are the same.
Abraham Lincoln said: We can change human actions to some extent but we can't change human nature.
We have only to repent, do penance and pray for the grace and strength from God to be better sons and daughters of God...and to be better sisters and brothers to our fellow human beings traveling on the path to Him, our Creator.
