Goho: Foundational significance

Goho: Foundational significance

CONSERVATIVE values are close to nonexistent in the current times and one can only imagine the destructive path we are all geared towards. It is an unfortunate scenario when we see the steady rise of subjectivism, relativism, and all forms of detrimental and flawed ideologies which only further enhance much chaos.

There are complex approaches and belief systems that are incorporated and acculturated with the common man throughout history. Throughout the various generations, we have seen many malevolent scenarios and misplaced causes which have further misled and worsened conditions. We have seen catastrophic events take place time and time again over such ludicrous notions and distorted paradigms.

Our conscious experiences can seem overbearingly absurd given all the mindless noises we encounter and the various impositions men are capable of creating and instituting. Our world has become filled with several cults and clubs that have become misused and denigrated through a masked collective and self-directed agenda.

We have thereby evolved into pathetic whiners incapable of standing firmly with a backbone due to an absence of wisdom, faith, and character. As a result, we find many unreliable sellouts who display flimsy dispositions and principles. There are certainly more substantive matters to address well beyond the surface which lead to maturity and growth.

Without any clear discernment, and with the constant presence of militant atheism, or any of the limited forms of naturalism that fall short of any notion of the higher realm of truth and spirituality, people can always abandon any sense of accountability.

We are all but misguided and lost souls without the sense of awareness of a higher cause and a deeper understanding of our true purpose and significance. It goes much deeper than going about our lives on the surface. There are simply much deeper implications we need to confront head-on.

Most of us have become anti-God thinking we have it all figured out. Humility or any inclination towards repentance have been set firmly aside to accommodate any forms of soft soap and clichés that merely focus on the shallow and unimportant. We have come to focus on the external over the internal, the subjective over the objective, and the form over the substance.

One cannot help but notice the increasing sense of entitlement. Feelings have become the driving force and we have grown accustomed to new abnormal norms. We have witnessed the decline of accountability and personal responsibility which lead to many disparaging and damaging behaviors.

It is dangerous for humanity to embark on a path with no sense of objective morality, stable foundation or core framework which tackle intangible and spiritual challenges we face on a constant basis in our journey.

Any form of subjectivism that results in the loss of values and dignity ultimately leads to nihilism, despair, and emptiness. A willingness to acknowledge and revert back to a sound groundwork and objectivity embedded in our core humanity may be necessary to eradicate the many misguided directions we find ourselves in.

There is much uncertainty and limitations, and perhaps a step towards embracing our core moral foundations and orienting ourselves properly would be the ultimate ideal in the way we live.
