It seems that the whole world is slipping into a thinking error. People are no longer able to see clearly, which is the tool and which is the goal. As a result, life together becomes chaotic. Almost all institutions have performance defects.
Between Tool and Purpose
Politics is an end in itself. Entering politics, people aspire to be a king who is worshiped and rich. The opportunities for corruption and stealing are high. Politics has become a useless system that only consumes resources.
Politics is not an end in itself. It is a tool for achieving mutual prosperity. When it only harms the people, it should be removed. Politicians are servants of the people and not little kings who are respectful and fond of stealing.
Something similar happens in the economy. The economy has become a hunting ground for money. If necessary, underhanded means were employed, without shame, even with pride. The economy has been uprooted from the purpose of its existence, which is to create common prosperity.
The purpose of the economy is to achieve common welfare, without exception. Poverty and social inequality are the great enemies of the economy. When the economy fails to create common welfare, and becomes only a hunt for money, it is no longer useful. Better, he was eliminated.
This is the worst in religion. Religion becomes God. It becomes an end in itself. People worship the religion and forget God.
Religion is only a tool. Its main purpose is to bring people back to God, the Creator of all things. When religion becomes God and is worshiped blindly, it doesn't play its main role. Better, he just deleted it.
Law is also colonized with this kind of misguided thinking. Law is a tool to arrive at justice. It must not be worshiped as an end in itself. Unjust laws, to quote a classic Latin proverb, are not laws at all. He is obliged not to be obeyed.
In this 21st century, we are bombarded with news every day. The news seems to be a goal in itself to fill our lives. The news is a tool for another purpose, namely a clearer and more complete understanding of the world. When news becomes an end in itself, and even creates fear and confusion, then it's best to just erase it.
Our life is also hit by communication technology. The internet is becoming a new "god" for many people. It becomes an end that is worshiped in itself. Many people spend their lives on the internet and are uprooted from the real world every day.
When the internet became addictive, it didn't play its main role. He has lost his way. He became the main goal. So better, he just deleted it.
All of this can be called corruption, namely the decay of function. Something that has lost its function is something that has gone rotten. Politics that do not serve the people is corruption. An economy that creates a gap between the rich and the poor is corruption. Deity religion is a form of corruption. Likewise, an unjust law is a corrupt law. Fraudulent news is corruption. Likewise with the internet which deprives humans of their lives.
Modeling and Educational Crisis
Why does this kind of corruption occur? Two things can be considered. First, we have long lost our example. The noble values of life are replaced by greed for momentary pleasures. This happened to both religious and community leaders. As a result, the entire community experiences an exemplary crisis. Corruptors and narrow radicals are praised, even considered kings. Meanwhile, virtuous people are marginalized, even left destitute in solitude.
Second, in various parts of the world, education is corrupt. He serves in radical religious teachings or teaches students to become worshipers of money. In my country, education officials have never been qualified, since a long time ago. This happens, because the position is the result of political and economic transactions. Quality is never the main measure.
Our Consciousness
All this needs to be recognized as a problem and a challenge. Most people are not aware of the severe corruption that is taking place in various fields. They are cool and preoccupied with their own narrow and shallow life. Or, they benefited from all the corruption that was going on.
Once consciousness is formed, changes must be made immediately. The example must be set immediately. There is no need to wait for community or religious leaders to set an example. They are the last to change because they often benefit from this kind of corrupt society.
Exemplary begins with us. Begin to become aware of corruption in various fields. Begin to clearly distinguish between tools and goals. Only then, the life we live can be truly meaningful, both for ourselves and for others.
At a broader level, the education system and philosophy must be completely overhauled. Education officials must be highly qualified. Avoid political economy transactions in educational positions. Only in this way, every nation has a hope to change for the better.
Plenary Independence
Ultimately, living alone is the goal of attaining liberation. Life is not an end in itself, let alone just looking for momentary pleasures that will disappear in the blink of an eye, and leave suffering. True freedom is freedom from corruption in various fields, both at the level of living together and in private life. This is the true essence of the freedom of every nation
Don't forget it. Or independence will only become new corruption. It rots. He is worshiped as a goal.
Independence is a tool to create a just and prosperous society. It is a golden bridge to create an intelligent and dignified nation. Again, don't forget this.
Excellent
