Opposing Evil To Let Good Prevail?
There is one thing worse than homicide, social injustice, the sturdy overwhelming the weak, terrorism, war. We have an instantaneous reaction, typically evoking passion for going to one side or the opposite. Usually, the choice is straightforward, "of course I oppose killing, and that I should use everything in my power to place an end to that."
These things, though awful, unite us during a cause, typically against evil. People who don't oppose what's evil usually are committing the atrocious acts at hand. At the very least we tend to be aware. We see. And with what we've seen, we act. There's one thing additionally harmful than what I listed. It's one thing that pervades into the mind of humanity, and we do not even realise it. It encompasses a lot of names: nihilism, materialism, apathy, minimalism...
Everything Is Subjective...
- "There is no good and evil, solely social opinion." Such a harmless way of thinking, nevertheless so extremely harmful in its implications. It is accustomed to justifying the terrible atrocities I listed .. this concept is what results in the atrocious violation of human rights (which consistent with a similar idea, don't truly exist) and had led the young away as they give the impression of being for looking for meaning in life. How are we supposed to raise a generation which will watch out for themselves and each other after they are left with ethical compasses that recognise not North from South or East from West?
- "There is not any objective happiness; happiness is what you make it." virtually inspiring at a look. However, this concept has led the young into the dark after they are enclosed by a selfish and materialistic society. They're expected to search out happiness in what's temporal and short. Our hearts long for thus rather more. This concept teaches the young to pursue pleasure, not happiness. They do not recognise what happiness is as a result of they were told that it's what you create it to be. However happiness cannot be found in food, or video games it's found by a dedication to your neighbour, yourself, hard work, and love of the Creator.
Material Wealth
The current capitalist ideology has led us apart. I support capitalism. However, it should be assisted by human love and compassion. A capitalistic society lacking love and compassion leads humans into the lie that you simply will quite literally, purchase happiness. You can't. we are affluent in materialistic products, however thus unbelievably poor in spirit. We'd like love and compassion. However, we are thus distracted by big flashing signs promising us happiness that we do not realise what quantity love we lack in our lives.
"I don't need to be judgemental. As long as it does not have an effect on me, others can do what they need." there's a fine line between acceptance and love. Society has told us that they're one within the same. However, they're not. True love for your neighbour means that not allowing them to be led away by evil. It means that speaking up and serving to them to enhance themselves. Once you witness evil don't be silent out of concern or being judgemental or intolerant.
We Grow Lethargic
- "Now what's the smallest amount of learning I can you do to get an A on this test still?" this can be minimalism at its finest. Quite presumably a product of our capitalistic society, minimalism had instructed us to try and do the minimum.
I have solely skimmed the concepts that imbue our minds. These concepts deprive us of affection and happiness. The worst half is although, such a lot of people do not even realise these concepts imbue our minds.
The lights grow thus subtly dimmer with time if we do not even realise what's happening till we stand in complete darkness. Don't be sheep being led away by a wolf dressed as a shepherd. This is often a warning to any or all of you; we have to alter or else the globe will face dire consequences.
