This generation likes quantity and not the quality, likes the temporary
solution and not the permanent, likes the appearance and not the virtue, wanted
to be rich and never longs for peaceful life etc.. We fail to understand the
consequences of every choice we make. The ripple effect of the choices will
terribly exploit our future generation.
It is not suffice for one person to be honest and wise but need to bring
all those into our shadow by preaching/educating them through awareness. That’s
why Jesus said; go preach to all nations about the gospel which is good news.
What is good news that’s the question and how to preach? There are many ways
people would get influenced in this society, the current trend is media and
entertainment has heavily possessed the thoughts and minds of the people, not
allowing them to think outside the specific context.
Seeing and hearing are the highest impact source of
medium, one can choose to exhort people through writings, personal dialogue or
through conventional meetings but the
current post modernism world do not want to be exhorted, so it is good to lead
them into the right direction or to the truth by living a model life of goodness.
Here comes the next question what is goodness and who define it? The present
world is a very counterfeit culture and everyone has the rights to comment. If
you see the social medias are inundated with lots of information. So you could
see piles of information inflation through the social media and entertainment
and other various forms where people are loaded with tons of information on
every field not knowing the foundation or the beginning of the subject. But
they tend to talk and advise people one another through the accumulation of knowledge.
This shows the lack of wisdom where they invoke knowledge or apply knowledge in
wrong areas and timings. Time and again it was proved that wisdom is the one
which will guide where to apply and invoke the knowledge. Nowadays people are
knowledgeable but heavily lack wisdom and thus jeopardizing the society.
If you see through the magnifying glass to read the
every thoughts of people, it would
unfolds they do not have the subject knowledge but their understanding are
based on blind faith. For example a person living in a urban area will comment
about the NASA scientist that he is wrong and doesn’t know anything. The
present culture does not give the permission of the author of a book to
interpret but take it for their own rights to interpret and understand.
A scoffer seeks wisdom and does not find it, but
knowledge is easy to him who understands. Go from the presence of a foolish
man, when you do not perceive in him the lips of knowledge. The wisdom of the
prudent is to understand his way but the folly of fools is deceit.
Isn't it imperative to know that we live in a world
where the majority chose the broader way and fewer choose the narrow way as
said by Jesus Christ? The earth and sky will be passing away but his words will
never. What if there are 99 fools and 1 wise man living in a city, wouldn’t
that city call him as a fool of the fools .so it is the need of the hour to
understand the differentiation of fool & Wise, Knowledge & Wisdom and
how are it is being measured? Only when we are on the side of dependency of
truth we tend to speak right else distractions are there to deviate and get
deceived.
It’s time to
ponder on the truth ?
You shall know the Truth and the truth shall set you
free!! - Jesus Christ.
Ref: Prov14:6-9
