We're called to perfect this earth and this world creating a reflection of heaven on earth - so some of these earth people are corrupt yet they build things with the tools available such as capital and will power. We're called to build things that are not corrupt with the tools available such as capital and God's will power. Just don't lose sight of that as you witness and experience all this corruption.

The world is more corrupt than it ought because too many modern Christians complain in fear instead of being Christians and doing the works of Christ. We have a prayer we say every day and its second phrase is, "Thy Kingdom come they will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." We are God's body on Earth to make that will happen. Our Father has no other body on this Earth. He gave it to us to do - that is our work. Do it and you'll see corruption diminish much quicker than most think possible.

The narcissist culture that leads to loneliness, fear and division is a root cause for the virtue signaling and identity politics that underlie the ghosting phenomenon. What you speak of is the light of Christ and God making all in all. The woke and communist pundits see a dialectical progressive agenda as equal or greater than the truth of which you speak. Prayer is the only way to open these eyes to the attachments of the poor in spirit lost in deceit.

We can understand redemptive suffering in contemplating His Passion. It is that mercy that fills and repairs the wounded world and soul.
