Thanks AO - I really think it's a confluence of issues.

Yes, but the confluence are exacerbating conditions that detract us from the root cause: separation from God which leads to spiritual death. Dysfunctional homes/families, chemicals that disrupt our hormonal balance, poverty, cultural confusion/strife are all rising and manifesting right before us. They all emanate from a destruction of God's creation; evil intentions thwarting good. Western medicine has done a good job of distracting us from root causes for illness and disease and made a mint off of treating all of the symptoms/manifestations of the root cause. It is a distraction. Most importantly, there are many more who have overcome all of these conditions. We are called to love one another as we love ourselves. Admittedly, hard to do some days! But those who do not love/value themselves can not see others through the eyes of love. It is really quite simple but we obfuscate it with "conditions". Thank you for the article and response!
