DEAR SOPHIA,

THIS STATEMENT BELOW STATES WITH CLARITY WHY MODERN WESTERN CIVILIZATION HAS FAILED. HOWEVER, RIGHT BELOW IT IS A LINK TO THE CLIMATIC SCENE IN A MOVIE TITLED, “THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE” WHICH PORTRAYS A MONOLOGUE BETWEEN SATAN AND HUMANITY.

SOCRATES SAID TWO IMPORTANT THINGS: THE UNEXAMINED LIFE IS NOT WORTH LIVING AND NO PERSON CAN KNOWINGLY DO THE WRONG THING. THE PROBLEM IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION IS AS OLD AS THE ANALOGY OF THE ORIGINAL SIN BITING THE APPLE. LIBERALISM IN WESTERN CIVILIZATION HAS FAILED TO GIVE THE LESSON THAT CHOICE HAS CONSEQUENCES AND CHOICE DOES NOT ENABLE PERMISSIVENESS. LIBERALISM HAS FAILED BECAUSE MORALITY HAS BEEN DISCARDED. IN BOTH LESSONS OF SOCRATES, MORALITY IS THE ANCHOR. IN THE ANALOGY OF THE APPLE JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN FREE WILL WITH A CHOICE BEFORE US, THE LESSON IS CONSEQUENCES OF THE IMMORAL CHOICE.

IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY, THE TRAP YOU FACE IS YOU ARE CONSTANTLY INUNDATED THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE AND ANY CHOICE YOU MAKE DOES NOT HAVE A MORAL CONSEQUENCE. THAT IS PATENTLY WRONG – THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES AND THE ONLY CHOICE YOU HAVE IS THE ONE THAT IS MORALLY CORRECT. THE DEVIL’S TRAP IS YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO MAKE THE IMMORAL CHOICE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES OR JUDGMENT. THEREFORE BOTH STATEMENTS THAT YOU WILL VIEW OR READ BELOW DEMONSTRATE WHY WESTERN CIVILIZATION HAS CURRENTLY FAILED AND THAT YOUR ONLY OPTION IS TO KEEP TRUE FAITH TO THE ROOTS OF YOUR CULTURE AND FAITH. PERMISSIVENESS IS THE HIDDEN MORAL TRAP, DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO MAKE THE IMMORAL CHOICE IN ANYTHING.

THIS STATEMENT BELOW IS ATTRIBUTED TO A WORLD LEADER WHO IS CURRENTLY OUT OF FAVOR, HOWEVER, THIS STATEMENT IS MORALLY TRUE AND VERY INSIGHTFUL:

“We can see how many of the Euro-Atlantic countries are actually rejecting their roots, including the Christian values that constitute the basis of Western civilization,” he said at a conference in 2013. “They are denying moral principles and all traditional identities: national, cultural, religious, and even sexual … They are implementing policies that equate large families with same-sex partnerships, belief in God with the belief in Satan.” By succumbing to secularism, he noted on another occasion, the West was trending toward “chaotic darkness” and a “return to a primitive state.”

STAY CLOSE TO THE CHURCH, OUR TRADITIONAL VALUES, DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO THE SIRENS SONG OF PERMISSIVENESS AND ALWAYS MAKE THE CORRECT MORAL CHOICE.
