Modern society has become a highly competitive society characterized…

Modern society is… a society of “winners and losers”
…a society of inequality, a fiercely competitive society.
…Many people want to go to a good school or a good company, even if only slightly.
…There have been reports of a sharp increase in mental illness, especially among young people in their 30s.
…Competition itself…is not bad.
Competition allows us to hone our skills and broaden our knowledge, and it is true that it has the benefit of improving service to customers and the public❗️.
…However, I think the problem lies in competition itself…the feeling of superiority gained from beating others…🤔.
Naturally…pride, envy, and impatience arise…and human relationships can not go well.
…I think the values ​​of heaven and modern values ​​are almost diametrically opposed❗️.
…When a person becomes powerful, their value is judged by how many people serve them…
…However, Jesus came to earth in the form of serving himself…
We...those who believe in Jesus are in heaven,
so when we serve those around us...that person will be called a 'Christian'❗️
...
Shalom 😃
