If we look at the facts and see the truth of the world situation and where it is going, it can move us to change our own lives for the better. We can change things in our own life for the better. The premise is that we learn more and make better choices. Of course the learning in that area that is most beneficial is from our Creator who knows how we should live. He gives us that knowledge in the Bible.

Or, we could realize that the 'creator' is a figment of our imagination; an embodiment of our awareness of the larger world, and our realization that we have obligations to it.
