Restoring moral values in a decaying world

The decline of moral values in this generation, and the loss of the will to fight, is the cause of much of our suffering. We have an obligation to ourselves and to our children to restore that moral foundation, which has been lost.

If you’re tired of the same old grind and are looking for a way to reconnect with a deeper sense of purpose, then you’ve come to the right place.

Before delving in, let us be clear about what we are talking about, this is not about ' good and evil' or 'right and wrong'. The world has become much less moral. For example, there is less concern for what is right and what should be done, or even for the suffering of others. Nor is there much interest in making our world a better place. I believe this is more than a good and evil' or 'right and wrong'.

There seems to be no hope for the world to be better tomorrow. The issues are neither on the good or the bad of our society, but on what it means to be human and how we get from here to there. Our focus instead should be on making a world that is just, good, and equitable. This can be accomplished by restoring the moral foundations of society. Moral foundations, I will argue, are what allow people to think about the wrongs that they do, the harms that people inflict upon one another, their feelings of worthlessness, and their loss. They are also what enable people, in a just world, to live with the same kind of values they have always had. Thus, restoring moral principles can have a lasting effect on both the society that we live in and on our hearts.

What follows, therefore, must be seen as a process, a journey. Each step of that journey must take place in our hearts, not in just a moment, as we may have been taught by experts. It is an exercise in mindful reflection, an attempt to take a moral stand. As I see it, this journey will be successful only if we take the time to reflect on and then act on a set of principles. I have chosen to follow the principles of Christ himself because this was what he taught his disciples. My purpose in doing this, however, was not to become a great man. Instead, it was to help people see the consequences of their actions and come to a realization that there are ways to make a difference in their lives, ways that can lead to much more positive results.

As a writer, I believe that it is not enough to protect one from the moral decay of society, but rather we must restore moral principles within ourselves. The morality that was once common in our world has faded away to a considerable degree. This is the reason why all of us must look for ways to restore moral principles into our lives. One of the best ways for us to do this is through Jesus Christ and his teachings, the same which I have chosen for myself and my children.

The Restoration of Moral Principles is a philosophical treatise that springs from the noble impulses and sincere desires of those who love liberty, equality, and justice. The focus is on the values and morals that we consider essential to life as a whole.

The principles of freedom and virtue are what made our forefathers great. But in today's culture, those values are being pushed out in favor of moral relativism and moral subjectivism. It's important to restore moral principles to society so that future generations can live according to timeless truths.

In today's moral climate, it can be difficult to raise children with a sense of morals that will help them lead successful lives. The action call is for parents to use effective ways to train their children's hearts and teach them how to think about right and wrong in ways that will shape their futures.

We have become so focused on materialism and self-reliance that we’ve lost sight of moral values and spiritual principles. Many people are searching for a connection with something deeper---a sense that there is meaning and purpose behind life.

My recommendation, therefore, is for us to embrace the intersections of spirituality and culture to create a new pathway, for a more evolved way of living that appeals to the spiritual side of being human. Whether you are seeking answers, wanting to change your life, or find meaning in your daily routine, this can help you get where you want to go.

There's more to life than working hard, making money, and getting ahead. It's about finding your path and having a real purpose. Discover what being a part of something greater is all about.

Our values and discoveries can help create a meaningful life in a meaningful and happy world. Our values are the way of life we would like to have. They are at the heart of what makes us human, and at the root of our most basic needs: food, shelter, water, clothing, love, and freedom.

Our values guide every action we take. This will enable our children to develop character and not just being “smart”; that they should enjoy culture and creativity before they learn about money; that they should have great friends to play with before they interact with their peers; that they should have a strong faith in God to keep them safe and secure; and that with confidence, they may reach their full potential.

Strongly agree, values are very much important nowadays. It has to be developed at home first. Having a degree is useless if we have no values, morals, and principles. These values will guide us to be the best and productive citizens of our community. Respect one another.

Hello, Interesting your post. The family is the foundation of every society. If the parents lack solid values and Christian faith, the children will grow up without the purpose that is based on the love of God. A person cannot give what he does not have in his heart, that is where the problem of lack of values that we all live today comes from. Interesting topic, thank you for sharing. Greetings.

We can not begin to relate the extent of moral decadence there is in our society nowadays. To tackle the menace, the home has a lot to do. Parents, teachers, government, society must come together while trusting on God to build a better society where morals are incumbent.

Exactly. It looks like the younger generation have been losing their respect for elders. Their actions are also not the same as the older generation. These days everyone is onion skinned that if you tell someone they are doing the wrong thing they will cause an uproar online. And then they will turn the tables on you on social media to make the wrong seem right. Ugh.

I will not give any specifics because it will be such a hot topic but I hope all parents will be able to instill good old values to any of their children. It is not easy to raise kids these days but I hope and pray the parents do not give up in disciplining their kids to become better adults.

One thing that's still happening is most of us keep silent when we see something wrong. The good people should not be afraid to speak up against the wrong doings of others in this world. It can be dangerous yes, that's why mostly only the brave do it. It makes me sad but if many of us can be brave enough we can help turn our world into a better one.

It is always easy to say things but it is harder to take action. This is the biggest difference we have to address too.

The moral foundation and may not be easily restored but can be with the help of wisdom or else, the children of nowadays have gone astray. Some of them have mingled with the bad aspect of life which has made them worse. Thee truth is that, when the children of nowadays sees money, they deviate from their normal sense.

Yes to restoring morals and values in a decaying world. In the world today, I don't think it's about good and evil or right or wrong like you rightfully said, but about our core values, morals and principles. Raising a child in a world like this can't be easy but teaching them at a young age about core values like love, integrity, respect etc would surely build a solid foundation for them which in turn would hopefully make the world a better place.

Hi buddy.

I love your call to the restoration of moral values and their expression in ethics.

Of course, it is also necessary to know what are moral values to restore. As you say, relativism and subjectivism make the task more difficult in a world that is further from God.

Like you, I follow the light of the example of Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth, who taught, without distortion, the instructions to follow the path for the good of man.

There is much darkness in the hearts of men, and no one is exempt from being affected.

Thank you for such an uplifting article.

It is a fact that the moral structure in societies has deteriorated, but it is also important by whom and according to what moral structure is determined. For example, a person who does not exceed any moral values can only be stigmatized by society. Parents have a lot of work on moral structures. They should teach their children their own moral structures and lines.

Also! Don't get me started on how subjective 'moral values' are in the aspect of generation, culture, etc.

Raising children nowadays are really tough as there are a lot environmental influences, and also technology affects where children today are more expose in gadgets than playing outside, especially the pandemic happens.

It's a challenge to all parents how to guide their children well, same goes with me.

Our focus instead should be on making a world that is just and good.

The terms are relative. What is just and good for one is unjust and bad for another. In my view, the big problem is egoism and envy. Most people only think of themselves and want to be more beautiful, richer and more successful than others.

Right, you got a point here, it should be a world that is just, good, and equitable to all humans. I will add it to the text. Thank you for your constructive recommendation.

The life we live is not just meant for us to achieve success rather we must try as much as possible to uphold at all times the morals necessary for a healthy society. Money and fame will come and go but a society with good morals will always outlive every season.

That is why I believe, moral values should be emphasized to a person as soon as he/she gains ability to think. So when he/she grows up, those values will be instilled firm into his/her heart and mind.
