Confusions

Confusions are present in every aspect of our life. Every opinion has an counter-opinion, facts do not matter any more. One person's feelings are against others person's feelings, one person's rights are in opposition to the other person's rights. Conflicts of desires, clashes of interest, everything seems to be so confusing. What has happened to our world? Things that worked for centuries and millennia are now recognized as enemies of the people. All pros and cons are fighting against each other. All those elements cause a lot of confusion even in the Church.

When God created this world He presented to us a universal, natural truth. It was imprinted in us and it still is. For so many years all groups of humans living around the world knew without question the basic difference between right and wrong. Every culture knew that killing is wrong, that you cannot kill, that you have to respect the other person, etc. They didn't have to go to law school to learn about it. Unfortunately, the last few centuries brought about a new approach - not necessarily better - and turned all natural law into a mess, replacing it with human desires. As a consequence we lost some kind of moral anchor that served well to keep us focused.

I see some relation between the growing confusion and a rejection of God. It was in the XVIII century, when Friedrich Hegel and absolute idealism affected the next few centuries. Placing a man at the center, it moved God away from man's life. Since then we can see the growth of more believing in man than in God. The next two centuries moved us from following moral law to creating our own law based on a power of media, politicians and (in our modern time) social media. It's no surprise that everything is changing so fast and not necessarily in the right direction.

It is time for us to return to the basic law that was given to us by God. It never changed and it guarantees a good life. It is so simple: You shall love your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. The second is: you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

If we will follow these two commandments, there will not be any more confusion. God gives us the best law we can imagine. It always helps us to make good decisions, to move in the right direction and to make a person better. Let's offer these laws to this world again. It will save all of us.
