What we feed grows, if one is feeding on FB and MSM, without thinking or any questioning, one is trapped, add in peer pressure of "hatred" for anyone off script and one is in a prison of fear. Hard work and critical thought used to be valued, skills that require consistency and habit in order to become a character. Human nature is lazy, we don't naturally want to be responsible. Critical thought takes work and habitual practice. Suffering can be a gift, it's interesting that those who have to work to gain an education or keep food on the table are better at critical and independent thinking, and open to diverse views. The ones who have a smooth road without bumps are the blind ones, lazy in thought and work, etc. I keep seeing analogies to the Pixar movie Wall-E....
I am a researcher and a 'seeker of truth' by nature (and former professional life). When I get overwhelmed by the shear magnitude of the corruption, evil and blindness (purposeful or ignorance) we are experiencing, I go to God and His word. This has been my verse this week. "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."
Amen! Believing and acting on God's Word is the only way to build a life on solid ground. When the storms come we will stand firm, all the way to the end by His Grace. Isaiah 41:10
I can't figure this out either. It doesn't really take that much work to get at the truth. People want to be manipulated?
