Transforming our sense of wrong and right!
We face a serious moral dilemma that pervades all sectors of our national life. It appears that our sense of wrong and right has blurred to the extent that we cannot differentiate between the two. We seem to have lost the basic ingredient that serves as a guide towards the creation of an egalitarian society.
We live in a society that encourages and glorifies lawbreakers. In addition, the society encourages the wrong more than it praises the good. To some extent, we seem not to know the difference between the two. This is applicable in all segments of the society from the family to the national level.
We encounter this moral burden in the following ways:
A society where the family values no longer matters. A society that encourages and does not question the source of wealth of an individual but exults and worships the individual. A society that lives in and believes in falsehood and deception. A society that breeds individuals that have no conscious and only thinks of personal gain. A society that its leaders appropriate the collective wealth and its citizenry will question you if you fail to participate in the act of embezzlement.
A society that her followers accept rascals and thieves in addition encourages her leaders to steal from the commonwealth. A society where the followers who castigate the leaders waits for their own turn to continue with the culture of impunity. A society that seems to have lost the sense of right and wrong. A society that throws party for somebody that went to prison for embezzling and stealing from the common purse. A society that punishes people who steal money for survival but venerates those that loot and take to other countries. A society whose citizenry engage in armed robbery .419, rituals and other vices go to God to aid and assist them to engage in such an act.
A society whose leaders go to places of worship and professes to worship God but turns around to engage in acts that even the devil will think twice before engaging in. society that religious leaders and moral authorities refuse to question its follows who are leaders but indirectly encourages them and gives them the front seats. A society where the religious leaders assume the status of God but acts lives like mammon. A society where most individual and citizenry claims to be more religious than the founders of the religion but fails the least test of ethics and minimum human standard of living.
We are indeed in a moral dilemma and needs to change and transform our sense of wrong and right.
