The modern structure of practically the whole world is the right of the strong. But this power is not real, it is not true, and it is temporary. People's priorities are confused. They regard temporary material wealth as success. And it doesn't matter how it was acquired. It's Darwin's theory. In such a world, the successful one is the physically stronger one, who is better at deception, who is more cunning, who has more connections, who has more power, who is the most cruel, who has better weapons, and so on. It is all simple, cruel, and uncompromising. One can write endlessly about such a world order, everything is extremely primitive and clear, but at the same time, it is absolutely unacceptable to normal people, people who have realized the truth, who see the path on which real success awaits.
And in fact, this world order suits most of the inhabitants of the planet. After all, the right of the strong is everywhere, everywhere on earth. How do you fix it, how do you make the right of the good, the right of the just, the right of the faithful?
Start with yourself. It starts with the family. The more believing families there are, the greater the proportion of people who are committed to believing the truth, and the greater the chance that the ruler of the state will be a truly believing man, a man of God. The Scriptures tell us that every society has the ruler it deserves.
Each person chooses his way, the masses choose their ruler, and the ruler chooses the way for the state. The state, in turn, returns the fruits to the people: bitter or sweet, depending on whether each person has chosen the right path.
Unfortunately, many people live according to the principle of "as they please" without thinking long about the consequences. Of course, at first glance, it seems easy and beautiful to live without sweating, to live with pleasure. But when you see the results of this way of life — it is injustice, problems, poverty, mutual failure, disease, dirt, immorality. The way of just satisfying one's desires is slavery. Slavery to one's weaknesses, to the abominations rooted in the human soul, and to the influence of society. Such slavery leads to slavery in the ordinary sense, because a person who lives only by satisfying his needs and lusts will never achieve anything worthwhile.
To realize the difference between living according to the principle of "as I will" and living according to the laws of the Holy Books, ask yourself the question, "What guides your actions?" Are you influenced by the habits your society has instilled in you? Perhaps a soul that is already drowning in its abominations and you don't know how to get out? Or by a healthy human mind? Considering that all people have different opinions, that something is good for one and bad for another, can public opinion be the right choice? No, it can't. It is either in conflict within itself, or the collective mind is controlled from without. It cannot just create eternal laws, and if it cannot, then it has no right to do so.
I once went to a private event where everyone was drinking alcohol. In the strange company, I met an old acquaintance, just an acquaintance, nothing more. I had known him for many years, but we had never talked closely, I had a normal opinion of him, nothing special. This event made me ready for an open personal conversation with him. We talked about life, we also talked about death and the attitude of each of us towards it. He said that he was not afraid of death, and at one point I heard something that shocked me. He said that his dream was to kill a man and look into his eyes at that moment. I immediately sobered up, pulled myself together, told him everything I thought about him in his eyes, and left the event. I realized that I was looking at a demon who has no piety — a terrible fate awaits him. He is not afraid of death because he has been dead inside for a long time, and his eyes are empty and faceless. There was no more of this man in my life. I gave up alcohol forever, having made a vow to God. Only troubles come from this poison. The point is that many people we don't even know are demons inside. The dark side of the modern world order suits them.
Money is needed in today's world, but no one appreciates the effort, the sacrifices, by which it is earned and achieved. Perhaps they are not worth it? Maybe the way to monetary wealth takes away much more than the money gives. Often people lose their health and even their lives in the pursuit of money. It is necessary to have enough, not too much, just enough to provide for yourself, your family, and, if possible, as many people as possible. First, you will be doing good deeds, which is commanded to us in the Law of the Creator. Second, by providing someone with wealth, you will help him concentrate on knowing and fulfilling the laws of the Scriptures, if he is a believer.
Many fear that wealth is not enough in our complex and fickle world, and many want to be capitalists. But as it is said, he who is righteous and pure is under the protection of the Lord Himself.
Rulers, calm down, don't look for physical proof of God to choose the path of faith, and hedge your risks. Faith has no such proof, for you will not find it. Money and power will dull every brain and soul unless you first believe. You are crazy about it, but it is all temporary and meaningless. The Bible says, "He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver."
If people concentrate on money, they will always
