The Irreplaceability, Unduplicatability,
Unphotocopyability and Unclonenability Nature of Life
The global experience of youth violence in our
today’s world attests to the fact of global morality collapse due firstly, to
mankind’s abandonment of God, eventuating in moral aridity/desertification and
spiritual drought in human community – and not forgetting, the current strange
global family arrangements with all of their unnaturalness!

young persons of today are living in a fictional or make belief world, having
taken a good doze of film-watching “pills”, in addition to spending all their
lives in the virtual world 24/7.
