Haiti, Trust a Lesson In Man, But Who Else Have We?

Hear we have heard the "Help is on the way" and " you will not be forsaken" type comments as many of us have heard time and time again. Yet, in my opinion Haiti stands as a confirmation of mans ineptness and the folly of mans perspective in trusting in man. Does not the cry of the people shout that loudly? Oh sure there are logistics and magnitudes but once again if we are as great as we imply why can't we overcome them without delays? Did not Katrina show that fact woefully clear? Are there not an alleged,000 dead or more and many after the quake as testimony to that? Why do I say that?
Now you must put what I say in perspective of the "WORLD" effort. We can excuse the poorer nations but what of the have nations? Of course all will point to America. Well sorry, you have a capability as well and America and Americans always do their share and more. If one looks at, in my opinion, the feeble effort in relationship to the WORLDS" resources and ability one sees failure. Why, well just count their fellow man dying each day - 200,000 plus so far is estimated. No mention of the sick, hungry,and homeless.
Well once again let me get you back to the rest of the article. Well here is a nation of utter poverty. That didn't happen overnight it has been that way for decades and more. They always had little hope of overcoming any disaster much less one of this magnitude. Yes like New Orleans nothing done until it had to be, fact. It is a nation with little to offer Mammon, that is the world. No oil or major product or market base for goods, nada, nothing, fact! Yes and while the good and the decent will pour money and material items into the Island nation to help, and please understand this because it is important, I do not say this is a bad thing, however, one must not forget where was all this before the disaster? One can certainly say and add where is it now for the millions being thrown out of their homes, lost jobs, families dissolved and broken all across our land? In my opinion only the fool dares answer that.
Now certainly many will say people and governments have been helping and the outpouring immense. Yet, we can say that about just about anything in this world when a disaster takes place, especially the American people, sorry, fact. However, there are always people who sacrifice and give and do yet that is not the object of this article. What I am trying to focus on is, where was the help that was truly needed before all this?
Would the death toll or injuries been less if this nation had a fighting chance? Well we don;t know, yet we would hope that the dead and injured would have been less, that help would have been more available, that capability would be in place to respond.
Yes the "International community" has united but consider this what is being offered and how? In a true perspective it is but a token effort. Why, well one must look at the billions being made by the wealthy, corporations and the rich all over this globe. Billions upon billions of dollars. is not a million given by one of these organizations but a mere write off? Yet they get the press and praise while the little people bring in their cookie jars and piggy banks. Yes and even when the true help comes it is in a great majority from the average and the poor, yes, by fact and statistics, the average Joe.
So take a hard look at the truth and not the facade. Love of man, really, or political necessity? Hard to swallow well look for the truth what is being done had to be but one must get back to why is it not even more? Some would rather not look and run finding excuse after excuse not to see.
Now for those who trust in man, as I have spoken to in my earlier articles, this in my opinion one more example of mans failure. Does man have the capability, certainly, but when one looks at motives then in my opinion humanity falls way short. Look, they couldn't even get troops, who were by fact airborne troops onto the island for sometime and still haven't gotten them all in. Could they have not parachuted them in? A week later they start to drop supplies by air, really. Then we find a Haitian no less selling water for $7.00 a gallon and when asked why he just didn't give it to those in need his answer "am I supposed to give it to them for free?" Hey Mammon at work here for sure. Drive up the road and we see large water tankers bursting with water to be sold, in fact water flowing out of the top spilling out onto the ground, get the message, something to be gained by mans misery. So we see the bad side of mankind and that is the focus of this and the fact that humanity for all the good it does can never seem to get rid of the bad. Why would we ever think that we could?
So the question comes what was the real motivation for the help. Was it by necessity, forced onto governments by nature of the situation which could not be ignored or was it through true love of their fellow man? I think some of each yet if true love in my opinion I do not see a major effort, that is governments and the large corporations pouring significant aide immediately into the crisis.
Now to the little guy it is significant yet when we look at the wealth of the world we find it is truly a very small percentage. No, in my opinion I do not see it at all. However, please do not lose track of the fact that I said there were those on the Island working tirelessly for nothing but to help their fellow man, yes rich and poor. Yet once again look if one looks at the great majority of them and you will see they have always been the ones to give of themselves.
Now a long time ago the devil spouted he would set his thrown above God's. He even seduced man into thinking that once he ate that forbidden fruit, that is learned from the tree of life, good and evil and knowledge, he would be like God. That he could do it all, that is mankind. Yes and like Adam and Eve many, in fact a great number bought that message even while professing the opposite. Well we know the outcome of that folly? Haiti is a blatant example of the inadequacy of man and the folly of mans superiority.
So to me and others could this be just another sign of the end? That is that "all things shall become known and then the end shall come." How totally precise. They even talk of cloning Mammoths, what next? Man trusting solely in man with no need of God and knowledge progressing significantly daily and at a rapid pace. Why, does this alert you? Yes but shake creation just slightly and see how man is flustered, thwarted, undermined, foiled, confused, inept, paralyzed. Yes before God. Oh, to those who trust in man, I get it no God, nature, really?
Well along with that earthquake and the discovery of that new fault line, the increasing changes in the weather, the temperature, the quakes and yes the initiative this year to stop the settlements in Israel all point as possible signs believers should take note of. Yes and along with that the consistent speaking of "the international community" or New World Order, and man's ability to solve it all is as I believe just another confirmation and sign. Like I stated the actions all good but frail in comparison to why not before?
So man can make war costing in the billions. We can ruin people, enslave them, keep them in poverty, servitude, etc, etc, etc and then we can turn in an instant and say boldly say see how good we are or are we, really!
For those who can't see and trust that "help is on the way" I say you too are no more then confirmation. It is what it is like it or not. Just my opinion, certainly but it is along with many more who believe in the same for all who truly see. To those who trust in man, well enough said already.
The answers, the calling, the cry that time is short before us all. Where are you in that process?
