If life offers no apparent challenges to address, then quite obviously you are un-observant, or far too set in your ways, or simply at a level of intelligence which is quite unperceptive. Human life involves struggle, and always will involve struggle, and it is our inherent obligation to meet those challenges so as to conquer them, to the best of our ability. None of us lives in a land of paradise, and the reason that this is so, is because of humankind’s continual wrong thinking as well as its subsequent bad actions, which thus fairly reflects our society as it really is. Those then that do not wish to see any improvement in society, need not do a thing, because in order to make positive progress upon the conditions that society faces, this necessitates action, and without such, it will all remain basically the same.
We are meant to have a purposeful life, of which, part of that purpose has got to be to help make society a better place for our participation in it. This signifies that each of us has a responsibility to do what we can so do to help make our society better, and the best way to start in the accomplishing of that is to live to a good foundational principle and thus to be true to that. In other words, it is best to have our own house in order so that there is consistency between what we so say and do, and the life that we so represent, in actuality. After all, those that we interact with, aren’t typically fools, therefore their respect or lack thereof towards us, has an awful lot to do as to whether or not they perceive us as being sincere and forthright or not.
So too, it isn’t really good enough to simply point out the faults of society, but to do little or nothing of substance to ameliorate such. To be the critic, is not an especially challenging job, but to go after something that is wrong and to see that it is turned around into something right, is definitely something that requires time, persistence, and energy, which thus represents well an engagement for change, that is purposeful.
Each of us is meant to be a loving, compassionate and caring person – because those that are most true to their Creator are those that resolutely take on the good attributes of that same Creator. That means we must do our level best to rise above petty jealousies, hatred, tribalism, discord, and disrespect by staying focused upon that which we are meant to be, come what may. Further to the point, life can be envisioned as a battlefield, and it is upon that battlefield that we need to take up our arms in the defense of all that which is good, so as to slay that which is evil and untruth. Those then that know better, have an obligation to act the part, by demonstrating through their courage of action, that they will stand for truth, justice, fair play, and freedom, till the end of time, for this battle is ever ongoing, until it is not.
