TWTD: An Unaware Participant in Corruption



How can I be a part of a tragedy I am unaware of? I believe everyone shares a portion of blame for the corruption in today’s society (Although I try to not point the finger as much).
You ask how and why?
As many fight this battle for a world similar to God’s vision there are several reasons why this battle is not yet won. I notice that there are many who want a better world and society to live in, but there are many of those who are unsure where to stand in this battle. Then there are those who seem to be ignorant to change and seemingly to love the corruption of the world we live in so much not because they are just mean but because they are so use to it. Many of those who are unsure and plan to just live their daily lives can be seen as joining the system that’s corrupting our society without ever noticing. Although you may not notice it, you are joining the side of corruption. Many people, as well as myself, tend to grow up trying to fit into today’s system of life instead of believing in a better and different way of living life. For Instance when a child tells themselves, “I wants to become someone rich and famous,” this can be seen as one seeking dominance in a since of join the corruption side. We are made to believe that we must seek dominance in order to become “someone” in life. There are many other ways you can be standing on the wrong side of the battlefield without even noticing it.


However, there are many of those who are trying to better the world but are often put down or belittled. These people are looked at with shame and hatred to some because they are breaking the cycle in which many are so familiar with. That change just seems silly and bad even if the familiar way is corrupting. I want to encourage many to listen to these people and just think about what is being said. I am not asking for people to try to become perfect because you can’t, but I do encourage everyone to notice how they are adding to the corruption in this world and then try to fix them. Although we can’t be perfect, a group of uncorrupting people can’t create the impossible (perfect world), but can definitely create a beautiful and better society for today and the future. I understand and believe it okay if you grow unsure of what the answer is to this very difficult algebra problem (Algebra?………Well that stuff is very difficult to understand). That’s when we have to look at scripture and ask God who would be the teacher who has his Master’s Degree in Mathematics.  God will always be there to answer these types of questions. I want many of my readers to remember that it took a community to destroy and corrupt what God had planned for us, so it takes a community to begin the rebuilding and cleansing of the world.
