Humanity

Sometimes it's easy to think that as humans we've evolved in a sense. Looking at the advances in technology, political theory, relief work, and even the way humans interact. Take for instance the way the world responded to the crisis in Haiti. A 7.5 earthquake devastates the country, and the whole world comes to the rescue. But if things are progressively getting better, then how do we account for the pain that comes at the hands of other human beings? In Uganda, there are men kidnapping children to have them fight a bloody horrible war. Or in Burma, the National Army could literally go from village to village seeking out ethnic minorities in order to cleanse the national population. What about the men in Amsterdam who kidnap women and sell them into the sex trade to fill their wallets? How can humanity being progressing towards a grand Utopia if we are still so capable of causing so much pain on other human beings? It seems so obvious to me that Humanity itself is hopeless. Stuck here with no hope. Even nature seems to be taking part in the onslaught. It's so difficult to see God in the midst of such despair. Where can he possibly be when the very ones who glorify his names are the ones buried underneath 8 feet of rubble from a tsunami? Where is God in bloated black stomachs? Where is he when a woman's body is treated like a commodity to buy and sell?
