The current state of society lacks solid foundations, as the principles of grace and concern for others have eroded. Consequently, the rule of legal authority often leads to the oppression of the less fortunate, without much consideration for the values of compassion and understanding. This erosion of foundations has resulted in a society that is trained in strict adherence to laws, but lacks an understanding of true freedom. The root cause of this issue lies in the corruption of foundational values, rather than individual actions that do not bring about lasting change. As a result, we are heavily influenced by our environment, experiencing sorrow and distress due to the absence of common grace. The foundations of grace, which promote happiness and empathy, are essential for a thriving society. However, when these foundations are destroyed, the distress caused by their absence amplifies the oppressive effects, leading to more suffering. In such circumstances, people often resort to short-term solutions out of desperation. Additionally, our ingrained affinity for rules allows us to find comfort in a society lacking solid foundations, perpetuating a destructive cycle.
