The world we live in today often feels like we are under constant surveillance, where every action and opinion is closely monitored. Despite the ideals of truth and justice, freedom of expression is limited in many areas of life.
In corporate environments, employees are under constant watch, unable to freely express personal views on social or economic issues. But it’s not just corporations—no company truly allows its employees to behave freely, even in their personal space. There are too many policies, both written and unwritten, that restrict human behavior, ensuring conformity and control.
Even as citizens, expressing opinions openly can lead to severe consequences, as authorities may take action against those they deem a threat. The personal becomes political, and genuine freedom feels increasingly out of reach.
Yet, there are groups that speak loudly about freedom, claiming to be free from societal or religious restrictions. In reality, however, many remain bound by the control of others. This makes the concept of religion, particularly in its purest form, appealing. It offers a space where one is accountable only to a higher power—God—not to fellow humans.
While technology continues to advance, it does not always benefit society as a whole. It often favors a select few, deepening the economic divide between the rich and the poor. The growing gap is undeniable, as the instability of money flow affects global economies. Meanwhile, conflicts continue, driven by a thirst for power. Civil unrest is sometimes manufactured, and wars are fought under fabricated narratives, all in the name of testing new technologies and weapons.
In the midst of these challenges, many remain focused on their personal ambitions, often losing sight of the broader social issues. Despite the atrocities we witness, true social consciousness seems elusive. In this race for survival and success, the voice for change grows quieter, while the problems grow louder. So, it is better to focus on God’s test of being good, rather than getting lost in this flawed race.
