Boundary of life

The current society may be too materialistic, and the humanistic spirit that society should have appears so pale and decadent. Perhaps it has even flowed into the trend of history. Looking at the humanistic spirit is like a monument. Civilization, what is civilization? Is material civilization or the existing spiritual civilization? This is indeed a stupid question. What I am sad about is the modern age, at least I feel that the civilization deposited from the great history seems so weak now, but suddenly I regret that I have not eaten enough to support it. Doing things. One person, one region, one nation, if even the problem of food and clothing cannot be solved, what is spiritual civilization for them? They can't enjoy such a luxury. The shadow of the film [beyond board] is dazzling in front of them. A group of United Nations The great volunteers of UNHCR, transcending the boundaries of themselves, and even beyond the boundaries of life, worked hard and tenaciously for their beliefs. At this moment, I have to shed a lot of tears. I can't forget Nick's despair in Ethiopia , I can’t forget the corrosion of living corpses, I can’t forget the gunshots shot at Eliot in Cambodia, I can’t forget the scene where Sarah Chechen stepped on a landmine to detonate herself to save Nick. Swallow it all. In the absence of the most basic material limitations, spiritual civilization seems to have no room for it to exist.

Ah, God, does it really exist? Why are so many of his followers still being treated so unfairly Why? In my opinion, people in areas that need our attention and help, in their minds like Nick are their gods. It seems that material civilization controls spiritual civilization, otherwise it is all bullshit.
