Look at how early in our Life that Cain slew Abel. Imagine, to kill your own brother over such minor foolishness. Look at the possible range of wickedness that that one act brought upon, the worse thing you can do to your brother. So some people will do various types of wickedness to their brother or sister, mother or father, son or daughter.
Hear this Reasoning I made before, it is about the low standards that people live by in these times. I give a couple of examples, but there are so many other examples of the same thing, including the things that, as the I said, "you should be able to take for granted". People praise people for things that should be expected, and accept from people the things that should be rebuked.
-----------------------------------------
People these days walk with such low standards.
Here is an example that shows what I am saying. Monday evening I was with I Empress in a nice Indian Restaurant and through the window I noticed an old man trying to open the door to get into the restaurant. So I got up and walked to the door and opened it for him. It was hard for him to open it because the wind was holding the door shut, I could feel the force when I tried to open it. As I was walking forward to I seat, a middle aged woman said to I a few times "you are so kind".
The problem I had with this situation is that the thought of saying that should not have come into her mind. If people were Living with the right Standards, then there would be no praise when people do these things, it would be expected. And if the person didn't do it, they would be rebuked for their lack of behaviour.
It is the same on the bus or subway. How can people not feel shame while sitting on a seat when standing next to them is an old person, pregnant woman, parent with small children, or anyone else that would need the seat.
There are many other examples that show the poor state of society. The people of the world need to raise their standards in Life. Wickedness will never be close to Jah.
Lower Standards
-----------------------------------------
From early on reading the Bible, I made sure I remembered these scriptures I am about to write. I still trust, but don't get too surprised when that trust was shown to be mistaken. And when people come to I who show themselves to be better than the untrustworthy, I give Thanks to Jah RasTafarI Haile Selassie I, because I know that it is only Selassie that makes such a thing happen.

Psalms 146
[1] Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
[2] While I live will I praise the LORD: I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being.
[3] Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.
[4] His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
[5] Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:
[6] Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:
[7] Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:
[8] The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
[9] The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
[10] The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 12
[1] Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
[2] They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
[3] The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
[4] Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
[5] For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
[6] The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
[7] Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
[8] The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.

Psalms 60
[1] O God, thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again.
[2] Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh.
[3] Thou hast shewed thy people hard things: thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment.
[4] Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.
[5] That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me.
[6] God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
[7] Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
[8] Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
[9] Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
[10] Wilt not thou, O God, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O God, which didst not go out with our armies?
[11] Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
[12] Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.

Psalms 108
[1] O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
[2] Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.
[3] I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.
[4] For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.
[5] Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;
[6] That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.
[7] God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.
[8] Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;
[9] Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.
[10] Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
[11] Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?
[12] Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
[13] Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
