The world is unlikely to be a perfect place after this document.
Status quo is allot of value added and allot of not all value added.
There are 500 Fortune 500 Companies – status quo – equates to some profit and some profit less.
There is International Trade between nations – status quo – equates to some have profited more than others over time.
The way things have been done in the past has reduced sin to a certain amount, and inspired sin to a certain amount. Ideally we are all trying to create a world that is less evil. Part of the problem is we don’t all agree upon what evil is. Not all believe in God, in USA we have Freedom of Religion so what is sin and what is not sin is up to debate.
I want a World with better and safer products. I want a World where people don’t feel leveraged by governments or crime. Status quo of the past has allowed a certain amount of unsafe products and a certain amount of leverage and oppression as part of the norm.
Change is hard and the future is not guaranteed – can’t guarantee there will be no natural disasters or wars, so what has worked in the past might get set to will work in the future. That said the past has lead to a certain amount of self immolation, and a World with less self immolation, what leads to self immolation, seems worthy of turning up.
How fast things need to change is highly dependent upon where you are in the World. If I am sitting on a private jet, status quo likely seems pretty nice. If I am laying on the street homeless with no money and no support, status quo is not all pretty.
If the Fortune 500 companies were all less sin and evil, tomorrow, and next year. The World will be a different place. Will the World be sin free, will all evil leave it? No. Better is better, Better is not perfect. Updates would likely lead to a different set of sins, not always guaranteed to be less sin. Some sins get set to prettier than others and are thus reinforced in society – that said evil in small amounts and larger amounts is consequential.
People are used to things the way they are. If someone loses capacity they had yesterday they will likely be tempted. Woe to the tempters might be set to those that change and update things for the better are tempters. Better is better? Better is Better for who?
Had the thought earlier – To useful without evil. If you gain profit, get more resources, have more blessings from God – you likely don’t want to turn around and hurt your other man with those resources – yet in practice with The Devil and demons, sin and misinterpretation it is more difficult.
Further when things are good it reinforces trust reinforces the norm – starts feeling like a bridge, like we have built upon solid ground and the future will be ideal. Yet the idea we don’t need to stay watchful lulls us into a false sense of security, no work to be done, God can be trusted to bring no storms.
I think it is important to work hard and help the poor. I also think being poor, being left on the street factors into people losing their way, not knowing how to pick up the pieces and move forward in life – those that once were productive become less able to help society, and then there is more chances for the storms to come.
The past has shown a precedent for sine waves – ups and downs in society peace followed by war followed by peace followed by war. Would be nice to think Christ has the capacity to change that – all things possible with Christ, faith as a mustard seed – in practice it doesn’t seem to have worked that way.
Hopefully this document adds some value to the World, communicates some wisdom. Seen as perfect might miss the chance to make incredible improvements upon it that help the world.
8 billion plus people in the World – Golden Rule Good Samaritan by all of them or Love Your Neighbor, Proximity and Shortest path is valuable. Close to you seems both ideal and not ideal at times – might easily turn up “I don’t go to that part of town”
