I agree, Mabini, poverty is indeed a factor. But there are other environmental influences which also contribute to the prevalence of crime, like corruption and the selective and inconsistent application of laws.

Anne,you are right in that our faith and prayer is indispensable in helping us get through these difficult times. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil, not money per se. Materialism, or excessive attachment to worldly things and pleasures,is what brings us grief.
