What’s Wrong with the World?
What’s Wrong with the World?
Living as a human on the
earth produces a distinctive life-style. There will be certain characteristics
which will be true to all human beings in all places and in every age. There
are abiding qualities about true human beings, which would make them
recognizable by their fellow humans in very different epochs of the human
history.
Every man must ask this
question, “What is true of all human beings always?” “What is to mean to be a
human?” “What is the universal standard in this particular, unique situation
inwhich I or you find myself or yourself?” We have to face the issue of the
nature of the principles which govern the human conduct. But how do we discover
the universal standard when we are faced with a possibly bewildering array of
choices?
Today, everyone seems as
a boss of the Universe. How can a boss obey others? By its nature, everyone only
gives commands after commands for others. Everyone is born to rule, so that
none is ready to accept the universal standard. It is because it is not
befitting to his/her selfish or masked nature. It is painful to everyone. It is
not only painful but it costs something to every one if anyone accepts it. It
is bitter too. It denies all sorts of hypocritical habits. It demands the
transparency. It demands accountability. It demands equality. It demands
fraternity. It demands love. Because of these demands, everyone hates the
universal standard. Thus, every nation has divided into pieces to maintain its
own self-centered monopolistic standards in the name of castes, creeds,
religious groups, developing and developed countries, first, second and third
world countries and etc. These divisions prove their superiority over one
another. By hating and pointing the weakness of the so called superior,
everyone wants to reach at the same level. One hates the superior wants to be
the superior. What a paradox! What a senseless sensitivity!
Each group has set
his/her own standard as he/she likes without caring others. Therefore, the
world is full of standards. One counters another. Still people are spending
their valuable times and resources to erect another standard to fulfill their
own selfish desirers. Though they are aware about truth, they do and give
approval to all kinds of vices. In their sinful course of lives, they are ready
to fulfill all their desires at any cost. But the desires are unlimited, no the
needs. None was able to gratify the desires. If he/she quenches one, another
emerges at the same moment. So the desires are always remained unfulfilled
because most of them are sensuous. It simply means that they are lust. And lust
is a bottomless ditch. None can reach till the end of it. The wise men of the
old time have rightly said, “There is no end of chasing the desires. It is
vanity.” In this book, therefore, we will critically expose the monopolistic
standards of this world, which are the hindrances for the freedom, humanity, the
religious liberty and true universal standard.
They have set the
pluralistic standards to highjack the true human characteristic for all
everywhere. These false standards have placed the stumbling block to live a
good life. They are glittering like false gold. The fools are collecting them
as the valuable values and norms for the life to live on the earth with the
expectation to achieve the abundant life. But they are leading them to vanity
and death. Therefore, this work will assess these worldly standards to expose
their vanity and false promises. In this way, it will promote the universal
standard for the promotion of the true humanism, which is the today’s need of every
tribe, language and etc. It will also make the people aware to tolerate one
another and to love another to create a better society despite of their
differences. We have to understand and to digest the truth about differences.
The difference does not reveal the enmity but the diversity of society. In
diversity, we have to peruse the unity. It is because we are not the judge to
all. We are fellow beings. The ultimate judge is the Creator of all. In this
world, every nation under the providence of the Lord of this universe has
appointed the courts and judges to judge the various conflicts and issues. It
is the replica of the judgment of the Almighty for us to understand the
relevancy and vitality of it. It makes us aware about our actions and
intentions. Again we are not judge to judge our fellow being. It is rightly
said, “O man! Who are you to judge the servant of others?”
The
Problems are the Sins.
It is a prevalent false
notion. Problems are considered as sins. It is not true. Problems come in our
lives because of our own mistakes or ignorance as well as others’ mistakes or
ignorance. But every problem is not sin. If some have come because of our
willful disobediences, then they are considered as the sins. If some have come
because of others’ disobediences then they are not considered as the sins
though their disobediences are the sins for them. Therefore, every problem is
not sin.
Problems, sins or not
sins, are painful and harmful, so everyone wants to come out from them. But
everyone is not having the sufficient power to get rid of them. The deceivers
are moving around as the roaring lion to devour the prey. In the problems and
sufferings, many have become his prey and fall in his traps. In prosperity,
he/she has lost the control over the debauchery, which has become the snare to
his/her to get into the ploys of the deceivers. Both prosperity and pain are
the weapons in the hands of the deceivers for the destruction of the human and
the humanity. Thus, he/she needs the right understanding of the problem of pains
and the problems of gain.
The
Solution is the Perfection.
Problems are everywhere.
Everyone is facing them every day though everyone hates problems. Everyone
wishes the bliss only. In spite of this, the whole humanity hinges their lives
between problem and bliss. None can surpass or suppress the problems to get the
bliss. But it is a tragedy to mankind that he/she has made the various devices to
escape them to attain the bliss but they have become their snares. People are
yelling in the ditches, which they have dug. None is capable to come out from
it oneself, so that he/she needs the helping hands. To give the helping hands,
many religious, gnostic, atheists and social groups come to them to take them
out from the swampy lands on the condition. The conditions are like false
glittering gold. The helpless preys hope to get the hopes, promises and the ways
of the salvation. But they are unable to recognize the impending traps behind their
false hopes and promises. These false blisses make their lives more horrible.
They are ready to kill themselves and others to attain the false hopes and
promises. The deceivers continually present their various tactics to chain them
very strongly in the name of perfection so they cannot escape from their traps.
The perfectionism is the device in the hand of deceivers, which is itself not
perfect because their perfection is based on their own created standards. Their
standards keep changing according to time and situations. The standards, which
changes, is not the true standard. It will never lead towards the perfection,
which is the cherished position for the world. It is beyond the approach of the
world. Thus, the world believe the perfection is the difference between
ordinary and extraordinary, which is little extra. But the perfection offered
by this world is the perversion of the true concept of perfection.
The
Deceiver is the Savior.
The agents of the
darkness present themselves as the angels of the light. They distribute the
false hopes and promises to the world because the world is under the pressure
to meet the urgent needs or lusts but not the real needs. But most of urgent needs are superficial, not real. They would not
affect us even we will leave them unfulfilled though it seems very needful and
useful in the first glance. Thus, we have to focus on the real needs, which
make the great impacts in our lives and life styles.
The deceivers do always point
to the urgent, not to the real needs because they would not to build our lives
on the solid rock on which we can stand but on the sinking sands, where we will
be predestined for doom and destruction. They try to break the foundation of
life, so our whole inner being, family and society will collapsed. Today
everywhere the deceivers, who are the disciples of Satan, presents themselves
as the savior of humanity. To save us from them, we have to recognize them and
their false tricks and teachings.
The
Hope is The Individual.
We are going to look the
individual as the universe and the world as the individual. The problem lies in
the individual, not in groups. None can deceive the groups in the practical lives,
so the deceivers always focus on every individual to pollute the world (groups).
Therefore, the peace, prosperity and liberty in the world is not the solution
of all the problems but the individual, who wants to live in harmony with one
another, to earn for the livelihood daily with the hard work and honesty, to
hate all wrong ways, which lead to greedy gain. An individual is the hope, who enjoy
the liberty which has set by the government and nature while living on the
earth. Also we have partially accepted the truth that individual cannot change
others but he/she can change him/herself.
Thus, the key to the
world problems is individual because the source and means of all the problems
in the world lies in him. Let me put a true incident, which gives us the same
direction to solve the problem. “The
Times once sent out an inquiry to famous authors, asking the question, “What’s
wrong with the world today? “And Chesterton responded simply, “Dear Sir, I am.” This story has been repeated so often about Chesterton that we
suspect it is true. Also, it seems it is never told about anyone other than
Chesterton. What we have not found, however, is any documentary evidence for
it. It may indeed be from The Times, as the story is usually told,
but no one has taken the trouble to go through the back issues and find a copy
of the actual letter. It has also been attributed to other papers, but again,
no proof. It is also entirely possible that it actually happened with
another author, but has been attributed to Chesterton because it is typical of
both is humility and his wit and because it is associated with the title of a
book he wrote in 1910, What’s Wrong with the World.”[1]
People are the salve of
habits and tastes or experiences. These are known as addictions. People are
living under the slavery of addictions. In the midst of crooked generations, an
individual can be the hope. He/she can do less mistakes or harms to others. In
this way, he/she will restore to the humanity to love one another by leaving a
bad habit at a time and by practicing a good deed at a time. Thus, today every
person must examine oneself. Therefore, self-examination is the only tool to
restore the individual for the good deeds continually.
Finally, this work will
project the true standard to unveil the face and features of the disciples of
Satan and their teachings to recall the world to maintain the religious liberty
and religious tolerance by accepting it (true standard) because the Satan is
using the religions as the weapons to destroy the peace and bliss in the
universe though the foundation of religion is based to eradicate all the vices
from the earth and the malicious from all humans, so that everyone must live
his/her life without fear and maliciousness. He/ she must not interrupt others
to live their live on the earth. Therefore, an individual must be corruption
free.
