As humans, we are full of all sorts of sinful and malicious acts; we are imperfect. Although the Bible lets us know that there's nothing like a little or big sin, if I were to point out just three, then I think the three behaviors I will be penning down are more critical and should be at the top of the list.
Killing
To me, I feel human life is expensive and important, and nothing can be worth compensating for it. The frequency of killings is on a very high scale; every day we keep hearing new reports, and most of the reports are tragic. A lot of destinies, dreams, and talents have been buried. Robbers, kidnappers, politicians, even our pastors are not excepted, some for rituals in order to make wealth or grow their churches. The victims killed are people's dear brothers, sisters, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, friends, etc. If I had the ability, I would ensure the act of killing would be eradicated; I feel everyone deserves to live their lives to the fullest without fear until it's their time to die.

Abuse
This act mostly affects women and young girls. Abuse can be of many ways, but I am talking about physical or sexual abuse. So many women endure this, even from their own husbands. Young girls go through rape and sexual harassment from men, neighbors, uncles, fathers, stepfathers, etc.; even young children go through physical abuse as well. This is really unfair.
Recently, a young girl about 13 years of age living in our neighborhood has been going through sexual abuse by a neighbor who lived close to her. According to her report at the police station, this has been happening until it was captured by another neighbor who came home very early from work that afternoon. It would really take a long time for that child to fully recover and heal from that. Abuse is one of the things I wish should be eradicated.
Bribery
Bribery has eaten deep into our society today, starting from our leaders in high positions; money, they say, is truly the root of all evils. It baffles me that even the police officers who are supposed to protect and defend the citizens have also engaged in this act of greediness. Rebellion grows where there's no discipline. We are now living in a society where people feel they can do anything and go free by paying a certain amount of money. If bribery would be eradicated, I think the rate of crimes like fraud and scams would minimize, and justice would be given freely to those who are victims and innocents.
