      @Hecka Much Magazine I definitely agree with you on this, but it’s going to take a short while for the necessary societal changes to occur before these positive changes can be implemented into society correctly. Radical paradigm shifts require intensive preparation and foresight to correctly implement these types of changes, or it can negatively impact society just as much as the previous system, and potentially worse if it’s not handled with insightful care and planning.

    • @mesmith2526
      @mesmith2526 Před 3 lety

      @Hecka Much Magazine you are dead on with the subjective element impacting much of society, those with the persistent drive (will) to push for that change often resulting to the change that’s subjectively seen as good to them.
      Sincerity has becomes rare commodity, largely being the result of true sincerity involves individuals exposing themselves to their own vulnerabilities.
      Ahh, I was curious if you would mention God or the Holy Spirit.
      If you’re familiar with the Golden Rule, originally taught from Jesus ministry, during His time on earth; it was also referred to by Paul, which he described as being the foundation or the essence of the law.
      “For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another. For the whole Law [concerning human relationships] is fulfilled in one precept, “Y OU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF [that is, you shall have an unselfish concern for others and do things for their benefit].” But if you bite and devour one another [in bickering and strife], watch out that you [along with your entire fellowship] are not consumed by one another.”
      ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5:13-15‬ ‭AMP‬‬
      www.bible.com/1588/gal.5.13-15.amp
      All sin and systemic issues within society are all derived from selfishness, or failure to implement the Golden Rule into the laws that are made.
      If the Golden Rule is utilized, it ultimately allows for laws to be instituted and enforced with true objectivity, thus nullifying the ability of clever attorneys the ability to conjure creative solutions to meet the subjective needs of their client.
