Dangerous times
Alberto González Muñoz
SUMMARY: The author emphasizes that contemporary society places too much emphasis on personal fulfillment over collective well-being, making people selfish. This is reflected in Paul's warning about dangerous times in the end times, where people will be greedy and love themselves. The author urges believers to help those around them and follow God's plan to make the world less dangerous.
Speaking of the true treasures that make our lives meaningful, I want to emphasize in this meditation something that I mentioned earlier. Contemporary society places an inordinate emphasis on the value of personal and individual fulfillment over collective well-being. In this way, personal interests are magnified and make postmodern men and women sovereignly selfish, sometimes without realizing it.
