Why are societies filled with much evil? Aren't we a group of people living together? Yet why do I feel afflicted and alone? Even though I'm in a Democracy, there are scams everywhere. Drugs and prostitution are happening. People are jobless; wages are cheap. Government programs only work for some people. I feel unprotected. I feel vulnerable. My life is on a boat that feels it could sink at any moment. What is wrong with society? Why does everything seem so hard to achieve? Is suicide the only way out? HALT! Wait! Don't take your life. Forgive those who have done wrong towards you, for they know not understanding.
Listen. My enemy is your enemy. Our enemy is one and the same, the enemy of God. Gain understanding. Gain insight. Know this. Those who have understanding will understand and will learn to forgive. Our enemy is a type of value found in every living being that has a conscience. Eradication is only possible from within the individual. Whether he waters the seed of evil within himself or prevents the seed from growing, is his choice to make. Understanding must first be given to him and then we hope that he makes the right choice. Either that or we bring about a form of Socialism - from the minds of the first Socialist person in the history of mankind.
Additional Dialogue to help you consider: Someone once quoted the popular phrase, "They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom." I asked, "Freedom to do what exactly? Freedom to be what exactly?" He answered with impulse, "Freedom to be whoever we want and do whatever we want." I asked the religious and moral adult, "Isn't that the motto of the Devil?" "No," he replied and continued, "The devil is wicked but we are good. We do good and be good." "Therefore you say you have the freedom to do good and be good. But what about those who do bad and are bad?", I asked. He answered, "Those who do bad and are bad, are detained and locked up by the law." "And what about those who do bad yet adhere to the law? What about those who plead 'not guilty' to the human judge and reason with the human judge, twisting the law and making sense to the human judge (who has a logical mind)? Whatever makes logical sense to the judge, will that not cloud his judgment towards the untruthful?", I inquired. There was a pause in the room. I continued, "Does not religion dictate to its followers the right way to live? Yet, you, a religious man, seek freedom." The man said, "No, you've got it all wrong." "Sir, what sort of world do you seek to live in?", I inquired again. "A pleasant world where everyone is good to one another. They understand moral ethics. A word where evil isn't present," he stated. "How do you plan on reaching there if the freedom in which you defend is also given to the bad, and the bad can strive greatly within freedom? Bad people can be caught red-handed. But wickedness will not allow itself to be caught red-handed. If it does get caught, wickedness will take everyone with it, justifying the statement that when you pick up the tares you will end up damaging the wheat. Should you then mix freedom with authoritative means as to deny freedom to some? Of course not, because by doing so, freedom no longer stands straight." "Then, what do you suggest should be done?", he questioned. "For that, I offer an understanding for the world to prefer Socialism over Democracy." Author Self-Review of the book:"This book teaches the ultimate truth about the world that we all live in. It speaks about the adversary of mankind and guides readers to acknowledge that a world of restrictions is better than one with freedom. It digs deep into both ideologies and touch upon the subject of economic theories. It's a read that sticks." Jan Frederick SK, the humble author of the book you are about to read.
