Why is this age filled with chaos, and can spirituality bring peace to society?

According to Hindu religion this age is known as "Kali-yuga (Age of Kali)", "This age is about 432,000 years". It is described that all sinful activity will take place in this age. The most prominent activities will be meat-eating, gambling, illicit sex and intoxication.

According to my personal experience these all things take one away from the path of self-realization. If one does all these things his mind and intelligence is covered by thick smoke of ignorance. His intelligence becomes bewildered; in such a state he makes decisions that further entangle him in problems. The mind always wants to keep on enjoying. But it's a life truth that one cannot get continue happiness. The above-mentioned things meat eating, ... is the nothing but a short-term enjoyment which releases high dopamine or happy hormones. But these things are full of sinful and leads one to the darkest region of life. If one gets regular associations of these things, one is sure to addict to it. If these desires are not controlled, they start controlling us. In this mode we cannot fulfills our desire and the mind become frustrated. Frustrated mind leads one to the suffering.

On other hand, spirituality helps one to detach one from material things. It shows us what the real enjoyment is. And if one tasted this real enjoyment the spiritual enjoyment, he cannot leave it. Because it is beneficial to the person performing it and to the society. By practicing spirituality one can get automatically get all good quality, by performing obedience unto God, knowing his divine activities which is full of teaching one learns from him what really good and bad. He (person performing spirituality) keeps faith in God and automatically performs good activity. What input we give, so shall we produce. If one sincerely realizes his mistake and decided to behave good or to correct his mistake, some elements in the society disturb him making him weak again. At such situation if he has the faith in God, then he (God) will get him the strength to continue his work. I am performing spirituality about 4 years my perspective before spirituality and after spirituality has a lot of difference. The journey from negative to positive is some time difficult but by constant endeavoring and with sincere motive one can make gradual progress. If someone having sincere faith in God, he will definitely progress towards a peaceful life. If all elements of society start practicing spirituality, good qualities will automatically appear in people and there will be peace in society.
