Things seen, but nothing done 2

As mentioned in the previous post, the truth is out there. But yet, no one is managing to do anything about it. If the truth was exposed, then wrong things like War and killing of civilians might not have taken place. In most religions, it is mentioned that killing innocent human beings is sinful, yet there are a lot of instances where killing is mentioned. The context could be domination or aggression by fellow man on others.

Regardless, the truth may need some re-definition in today's time. The world is made up of multiple ideas, multiple cultures and to a massive extent covered in zones of Grey. These zones are the conflict that man faces in the broader society in economic, moral and materialistic terms. An example of the economic terms could be the rich poor divisions in several countries. The poor may want to be on an equal footing with other sections of the society, but is constrained by either poor economic resources or government apathy.

Moral Grey zones could be the lack of justice and enforcing of the law. Societies with a high crime rate is either an expression of lack of values in society or disparity on the economic front. Crime arises when there is desire for a particular thing and it remains unfulfilled. It is compounded when people create a dead end in their minds. The factor of desperateness gives rise to crime, and further erodes morality in society.

Materialism is the concept of judging life on material aspects of consumption and money. Temptation is used in excess to change people's real desire. Money is used as the tempting tool by which ambitions of the heart get crushed.

When all these things are around, how can individuals arrive at a truth? The nature of truth is such that it needs a black and white scenario to be determined. When truth is exposed, people start to have an innate fear of outraging the majority, because the majority find comfort in truths that appeal to their immediate and innermost fears. The trend in the world of today is clear. Things are seen, but it is interpreted in a different way, and suited for personal convenience. Truth is a bitter pill to swallow, and the problem with majority of society is that now people do not want to swallow. They want to have something sweet and satisfying, thus enjoying the grey zones present in materialism, economy and morality.
