Modern Society Must be Transformed or Must Fall
Yes, here I go again.
I have come to the conclusion that modern society, even with all of its advancements, is not progress. While these advancements have not been the cause of the plagues of Relativism, Socialism, Materialism, Liberalism, and Global Capitalism, some of them are complicit in their unconstrained spread.
The advancements I am talking about are directly related to the information age, that is, the ability to spread ideas and information over a wide area in a minimal time span. While most of what is sent out is not of an immoral or harmful nature, there is a growing body of work that is either or both.
With this spread of this material has come a further breakdown of moral framework that binds society together. Without this moral society cannot survive. We need to transform society by not going forward, but returning to the past. No, I am not talking about technology and other advancements; I am talking returning to societal framework that restores the moral foundations.
In my previous post, I said that “We Need a God Based Society”. That is still true. However, we need to look at what else we need to do. One of the other “fruits” of the modern era is the breakdown of the family. This, I also blame on the immorality of the plagues infecting society. The traditional family must be restored. With a strong family foundation society’s foundation will be also be reinforced.
Once we start rebuilding these moral foundations of society, we will be in a much better position to go after the other effects of the plagues and that includes the dissemination of immoral and harmful material. We do not have to get rid of technology, we just have to ensure its proper use. Yes, some will call this censorship, however even free speech ends when it harms others.
With the rebuilding of the moral foundation of society, we will start seeing the transformation of society instead of the current decline into the abyss of immorality and barbarism that is currently happening. If this happens, society must and will fall.
