Each culture , each historical time, each religious group, all have their customs. The eight way to do things is thought to be the usual way, and extremely different ways are thought to be wrong or very wrong. A slow creep of change rarely causes alarm.
It seems to me that change in itself is neither good nor bad. It depends on the change in relation to the highest standards and the method of change. I think there are moral and spiritual principles that could and should be the guide.
If there is a rotten dictatorship, obviously there are better ways to organize government, Change to freedom could be a good thing.
If there is already freedom, a freedom that has stood the test of time, benefited the people, is run in an organized manner, it may only need tweaks from time to time.
I am alarmed at some of the rhetoric I am currently hearing from some candidates for public office, from supposedly educated people on the byways and airways of society. ,"I want to take down Western civilization... I am a democratic socialist... I am a communist .". Have they not studied history? Do they not notice what it us like in communist countries?
I u urge us all to wake up - wake up spiritually yes, but also historically and politically. Wake up critical thinking skills. Wake up - really look, really hear, really think.
