arrogance and apathy ....

Variations on a theme of arrogance and apathy of modern civilization ...

this topic bothers me lastly a lot …


There are two the most visible, and most terrifying diseases of modern, post-industrial society:


Arrogance and apathy of a well feed and overconfident society seeking only for entertainment. And if something does not give entertainment it is not worth to deal with or take it seriously ...


It is a kind of paranoia and dementia. People are like blinded in their pride, arrogance, vanity, egotism and stubbornly persist in their mistakes ... Where this comes from, what is the source of this attitude??? On the one hand, they have a deep sense of emptiness and worthlessness, but –on the other side- they reject what could save them, and as delirious they follow evil. They are lost and deeply confused.


Or "someone" confused them ...


But perhaps the most shocking and devastating example is human arrogance is the attitude in front of GOD. It is like we're trying to teach Him what is good for us and what is bad, what is virtue and what is a vice ... This is exactly the "replay of original sin." This is the SIN of Adam and Eve, who refused obedience to God, because in their -full of arrogance- pride and haughtiness they KNEW BETTER!


These two diseases cause that practically no one can or is even able to help the modern man.


Arrogant person will not accept any help, he/she always knows better. In his/Herę arrogant pride he/she is so deeply convinced that the reason is always on his/her side, that no words, no arguments can reach him/her.


Apathetic person, searching or seeking just for viscous and perverse entertainment do not want to think. Why change anything, if as it is, is good?


Arrogant person does not think self-critically, is unable to do so.


Apathetic person does not want to think, because it's too big effort.


This is simply hopeless situation ... and it seems that there is no way out ...


The devil has managed to deceive us well, he could not think of anything better or more or cunning to deceive humans!!!!


Are we doomed to "replay the original sin", with all its consequences: the expulsion from Eden, the Flood, and the burning of Sodom?
