In a secular society, numerous threatening situations arise on a daily basis. The reasons behind these occurrences are not solely attributed to acts of violence, selfishness, or bullying. Rather, they stem from individuals who possess their own unique perspectives and narratives, shaping their perception of community. Calvin argues that this phenomenon is even more alarming than the manifestation of a primitive lifestyle, as it reveals that all individuals have a tendency to establish their personal understanding of the world, while hypocritically relying on principles they condemn in others. Consequently, this distorted worldview has resulted in a disarrayed society, as everyone perceives the world through their own subjective lens. When different individuals discuss a particular person, their descriptions often vary greatly, highlighting the superficiality of our world. This is precisely why God cannot allow humanity to prove their worthiness, as their lives are entangled in a fabricated reality. If confronted with the truth, individuals would be silenced before God. Instead, God empathizes with those who are broken-hearted and helpless, as they possess a genuine understanding of life influenced by the divine grace.

Allow me to apply this concept. It is merely a whimsical notion to believe that a companion will assist in altering the cognitive framework of one's mind when solitude prevails. The dynamics of being alone differ significantly from those of being in the company of others, thereby presenting distinct circumstances. Should one choose to isolate oneself and shield against worldly enticements, a more potent form of temptation devoid of sensory stimuli would manifest. This is due to the fact that all manifestations of malevolence emanate from within the depths of one's own heart. It is crucial to recognize that one is constantly in the presence of a divine entity, and should one approach this entity with earnestness, it will reciprocate the proximity. The mere presence of two individuals is all that is required to derive mutual joy and fulfillment.

Your addiction does not define who you are. When you found salvation, you shed that identity of addiction and gained a new perspective. No matter how many times you stumble, you can always pick yourself up and start anew. It's a journey where we may fall into sin, but ultimately realize the grace of God. Our perception of ourselves shapes our reality.
