Title Freedom from Desire/Bible Text: Colossae?...
words to enter
It is not uncommon to travel through a thousand-year time frame in one's lifetime. We have lived in two bundles of millennia since 2000 AD, at least from the day when humans agreed to originate. The whole of humanity is brimming with anticipation ahead of this iconic century. But is the 21st century just as hopeful as our aspirations?
Unfortunately, the 2000th anniversary of human existence cannot be a festival. This is because the only traces we have left in history are the fruits of destruction. The wounds caused by this destruction are still growing without a cure, let alone a diagnosis, and the wounds are spreading widely from the Earth to the human mind. The land is dying, the water and air are dying, and in the end, humans are dying, but humans still cry out for 'development' and believe in science more fiercely than superstition. Even in the face of an abnormal climate caused by global warming, humans are immersed in the arrogance that they can overcome it with cutting-edge science.
Trap - competition and speed
"Martin and Schumann", who wrote "20/80", criticizes 'globalization' as an unfair game in which 80% of the majority must be marginalized for the benefit of the few 20% through the theory of "20/80". In fact, 'globalization' for a leap into the 21st century has driven human life into a competitive arena. In order to survive this unfair competition, we've been running without a chance to look back.
Competition is the transfer of speed. This is why, in a competition that guarantees the victory of only a few, if you are not faster than others, you will inevitably be eliminated. But the triumph of the few leads to the alienation of the many. Since that is an unavoidable attribute of competition, being eliminated in a world dominated by capital means living in poverty and marginalization. The original economy meant 'oikos', that is, 'flesh of living', but the competition of 'globalization', as we believed in our beliefs, has been 'killing flesh' that destroys a large number of people and ecosystems that have been culled. will be
To be the few winners in this bloody competition, they had to be armed with selfishness. The winners had to engage in selfish competition to maintain the power they had seized, and the losers to gain power. However, as competitiveness increases and productivity increases, the destruction of human beings and the global environment becomes irreversibly more serious. The so-called 'total life crisis' has come before us. The signs of the crisis were already appearing long ago. We just shed it indifferently because of our selfishness.
Now, we need to look back and reflect on our lives more seriously and honestly. How serious is today's crisis and what we will do to overcome it.
phenomena of crisis
[Human and Nature]
The first crisis phenomenon can be found in the separation between man and nature. Humans are a part of nature and are only at the end of the natural world's extensive food chain. Nothing in the universe is independent of this chain relationship. I do not know it well, but it is the "order of creation", and the human science called physics also defines life, emphasizing the organic relationship between 'global life' and 'individual life'. To the question of whether light is life or wind is life, "Are cells life?" Let's question it. Can there be any objection to the claim that cells cannot be independent life on their own, but can be life because human beings cannot live without cells? As such, there is no non-living object in the outer space where we live, so we should not destroy it carelessly. Because it is destroying man himself.
What more can I say? It is already happening before us and is what we are going through. It just doesn't feel like we are full of selfishness. Maybe it's because he believes that human technology will solve it, so he's relaxed, but no matter how much science develops and capital supports it, if there is something that cannot be solved, it will be reconnecting the bond with nature that humans have cut off. Following the earthquake in Turkey, the world suffered a flood, and not long ago, news of the earthquake in Taiwan made us uneasy. The more humans ignore and destroy the law of coexistence with nature, the greater the damage to humans, and that much time is required to recover. In other words, when nature forgives human error, it does not forgive without reparation. I think that's God's principle.
[Human and Human]
However, we cannot help but be concerned about the adverse effects it will cause. Because if non-human humans with human brains were cloned without limit, what was only seen in science fiction movies will become reality. If clones appear as manpower (?) to replace the human share of labor and lead to an unlimited supply of remote labor force, a few who have acquired capital will dream of enslaving humans, and many workers will lose their jobs and suffer the humiliation of capital in order to survive. It is certain that you will be ruled. An even more important problem is that the resulting ecosystem disturbance may eventually lead to the extinction of mankind. How terrible is this? In retrospect, destruction has always followed human reach in the pursuit of profit and convenience. Still, the world we live in today is that humans are constantly committing unacceptable things, far from reflecting.
This is the present state of the earth we live in. In the face of this dizzying crisis, we must honestly look at the reality of the separation between man and nature and the separation between man and man, and live a prescriptive life accordingly. I believe that it is God's order of creation and freedom from the bondage of competition and selfishness. Again, I ask you and me. "Are you free from desire?" I do.
