Should We Even Attempt to Save Society?
I know, I know. It is a loaded question, but one that needs to be asked.With all the ills infecting society today, I am wondering if it is worth saving or even has the possibility of being saved.
As I have said before, I do believe that society is one the verge of implosion from the weight of Relativism, Materialism, and Liberalism, but I do see other factors also weighing on society that would probably not go away without a complete collapse.
One of the main factors is globalization. This globalization can be divided into two areas: Capitalism and Governance. Global Capitalism has all but destroyed self-sufficiency of the human race. Almost everything is provided by the “Global Market” and most do not know how, and/or do not want to, fend for themselves. They rather go to the store to buy what they need and work for big corporations to allow them the ability (i.e wages) to obtain what they need. The second is Governance. It is coming to the point where we are not allowed to have free-will to make our own decisions. Much of that is being taken away by governments and increasingly by regional/continental (i.e. the EUC), and even world (i.e the UN) governmental bodies.
I do believe the effects of globalization, as I said before, magnifies problem by making local issues reverberate throughout the world (And, with the latest economic situation, this is becoming increasingly apparent) . I also believe that, unlike Relativism and Materialism, that Globalization probably not be reversed without society/civilization collapsing thus breaking the bonds that allows globalization to exist. Note: I did not include Liberalism with Relativism and Materialism here due to the close relationship it has with Global Governance.
Liberalism also is a cause of a second factor which is also contributing to the implosion and that is the population decline that is being foisted on the world by “population control”. In many places, the birth rate has fallen so far below the replacement point that whole populations are in danger of being damaged beyond repair. The average age is rising to the point where it will become impossible to even recover from this decline. One example is Russia. There is some projections that they may lose as much as 1/3 of their current population by the year 2050. In fact, I have read reports that the average age of females in Russia is in their 40’s. If we cannot reverse “population control” whole populations (countries) may disappear from the face of the earth.
We need to be ready for anything and that means to rediscover self-reliance and more reliance at the local (community) level rather than the global level. Even if society does not implode, breaking all bonds that are weighing down society will make us better in the long run.
Should We Even Attempt to Save Society? Maybe, but I am going to leave that question unanswered. Right now, I do not really know.
For me, it is simple…You have listed much to point out that Satan is alive and doing well. But for you to not represent the other side does not portray an unbiased oppinion…or you are so down you do not see it.
Off to go count my blessings, before the dark side takes plight of my existing will to live. The very tool that causes most of this.
So you prevolked a response, and yes i know you will not comment back, but you are more than this Wander, you do not fool me.
