Morality, Where Art Thou?

Editorial Commentary

If you ever ask what the world’s single most problematic issue actually is today and well into our future, most people will point to individual or state-sponsored terrorism.

Some people will point their fingers to gun restriction laws or make an issue of the mass Syrian refugee or illegal immigration problems.

Some others will take aim at the colossal corruption that takes place at the highest political offices of the world. These don’t only affect Europe, Latin and North America but they’re certainly at our own doorstep and much of Asia too.

But I’d differ on this. I fervently believe that the single worst problem that our world faces today is the inability to tell right from wrong. People have long since misplaced their moral compasses and through massive inundation of liberalism and progressive thinking, we now do not believe in morality. Instead we are told that what is right or wrong depends on how you feel and empathise.

There is much to ponder about the increasingly disappearing issue of morality in the world we live in today. This is one major topic for the near future and we will dedicate some effort to talking more about it.

For now, you might wonder what God wants to say to us about morality and His Ten Commandments.
