I think things like vanity, and competition are driving factors for being let down by our peers, and loved ones. Let's say if we all did at the same time decide to stop competing for some kind of intangible empire, or even a real worldly one. What would it take for us all to drop our weapons? Of course humility, compassion, forgiveness, and self control, as well as sorrow for your own shortcomings, because lies are all meant to get what we want, or to hide from the truth. We hurt each other with lies. We can't pretend we didn't do anything wrong, because if we did there would be the desire to fight. What I'm saying is that we all hurt each other for our own personal agendas. For our own boost in way or another. We all want to be special, and some trample others to bask in that glory, while others choose to glorify a greater force in their hearts that is much greater than any being of the world, and persists in the ways of patience, humility, and all that represents the Christ despite even being alone in striving for his ways. It's easy to get caught up on the world when so few are even persistent enough to encourage, but instead worse persecute. if we all really considered Jesus all of us, and did so deeply, and with true submission as in obviously when I think of you Jesus you are far greater than me when I see my failures you are worthy I submit to that truth, and feel the desire to submit to the Lords greater glory then the world would be a much better place, even if at least more people truly did instead of pretending so they can pretend not to be guilty etc. Some so called believers throw God around to actually try to protect themselves from being sorry when they should be. The worlds a trip
