Trust is a rare commodity...take a moment to think what that means. Almost no one has someone that they truly trust, or who truly trusts them. And that sucks because when someone trusts us it FEELS GOOD, just like it feels good to have someone to trust. But have you ever wondered why it's so hard to find someone to fill that role or why people look YOU over the shoulder so much and don't trust you?
For one, it's the way people connect to strangers. Their relationship with strangers gets strained since most countries lack safeness/trustworthyness as a country, culture, and a whole. The highest level country would be something like Scandinavia, and the United States would be 2 levels below it: we have ghettos, kids don't play out in the street anymore, riots, police brutality, cons, tricks, crazies, loonies, losers, deadbeats, rednecks, freaks, abusers, propagandists, merchants, bullies...yeah, it's hard to TRUST when you're relationship with strangers has been strained because of past abuses/treasons and just in general seeing how nasty people in the outside world can be. I mean, have you ever even wondered why some people can be so weird? Or cruel? Or untrustworthy? You probably haven't, you've just avoided them and looked for good people, but I digress.
So the way this gets cured is by looking for people who share your values, by KNOWING people and understanding them. When some teenagers are growing up they do this really retarded thing where they hang out with people who look like them or dress like them, not realizing that surface level markers of personality aren't a reliable indicator of VALUES, which is what we OUGHT to be looking at, unless we all wanna die alone; no contact with family, and not trusting strangers, so isolated. So we can't feel trusted or trust, so yeah, that means you can't feel good. And though I hate hedonism, often feeling good is God showing you where you should be focusing your energies on, so that you can TRUST the process, and live a life WORTHY of Him.
So yeah, I propose that people should open up and not live mediocre half-lives like society forced upon us, but to find other people who love God, and have good values, and form true connections and families where people love and trust eachother. If this spreads enough, eventually you have people in positions of power who are family men/women who love god, goodness, and life, and who have the POWER to change the world (for the better.)
But for that to ever happen we have to uncover the inter generational trauma that has led the world (poverty, famine, suffering), families (no contact, abuse, neglect) lovers (fake marriages, arranged marriages where the woman doesnt want it, marriages of convenience, toxic marriages) , friends (fake friends, sinful friends, untrustworthy friends, lying friends) and strangers (apathetic, uninvolved, uncaring, dangerous, out to get you) to this point, and do something better.
And If I never bring down the Kingdom of God from heaven, so be it, but I'm not going out without a fight, and neither should any good person.
