 This current generation is characterized by its wickedness and unfaithfulness. The responsibility for this lies primarily with the leaders of the church. If we had prioritized the pursuit of truth in previous generations, we would not find ourselves in the troubled state we are in today. It is evident in today's mindset, which can be described as simplistic and dogmatic. The plight of the poor has been neglected as the focus of the ministry has shifted towards accumulating knowledge and the clergy receiving generous compensation. It is challenging to empathize with the less fortunate when one is content and prosperous. To truly understand Christ, we need a society that includes the poor. There are numerous arguments in favor of this, as it revolves around promoting equal opportunities and a fairer society. Unfortunately, there is a reluctance to acknowledge the significant role that man has played in the church's past successes. The world operates on the principle of exchanging goods for services, to the extent that even a doctor-patient relationship is devoid of genuine concern for needs. This realization has put me in a difficult position, as I am not inclined to please others or curse the flaws of the world's systems. It is often said that a person who possesses wealth without wisdom is no better than a beast destined for destruction. In fact, if we were to evaluate this situation as a mere accounting process, it would seem that the beast is more astute than man, as it merely takes what it desires. However, the true problem lies in humanity's tendency to create a profit-driven religion, leading to the accumulation of wealth and material possessions. This focus on the golden calf has overshadowed the true glory that can be found in an individual whose face radiates with divine light. The laws we create are primarily designed to safeguard our own interests and financial gains. Therefore, it becomes our responsibility to reflect on the flaws inherent in the systems we establish. However, this introspection should not be mistaken for harboring hatred towards our adversaries. The real issue lies in our inability to confront and resist the deeper and more profound sins that plague society. So, where has our resilience and determination gone? It is not simply a matter of being tempted into corruption and depravity. Rather, it is our desire to please others and conform to societal expectations that weakens our resolve.
