THE ENIGMMA OF SELF-RE-DEFINATION. by philoedu(m): 5:13pm On Jun 06, 2018
The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions.

And it spur us to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heart and the question of moral conscience. The contemporary man tends to have the greater need for the inner-self as well as out-self in order to know God and himself.

It is true that with such knowledge, we can nurture tOKhe sense of dignity and respect. It is through this knowledge we can also know the true meaning of the value of life and work in tandem with the sense of true freedom, justices and peace.

One of the Christian truth, is not about ideology but in the recognition that without any iota of doubt, it is the changing of the social and political reality in favor of man that cannot be confine to any rigid structure.

Therefore, the calls for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re-affirmation of the transcendental that encompass the dignity of the human person. In the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there has been numerous example of the advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity.

The emancipation that inspire, not a passive acceptance, but in the authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth in order to free man once and for all from any form of oppressive and violence forces that is raging so assiduously and the shackle of poverty of our time.

Through such resolve, we can return humanity to his dignified platform of existence, through which he exercises his full right in the scheme of things. Although, there is the gospel prosperity talks of material abundance as a sign of divine favor of which, what they seems to be silent about is the very purpose of this material abundance in the life of man.

Because, at this point, it has becomes a moral issue in particular, when there are bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like of Lazarus hanging around us.

Of course, it must be said, that this has become a moral deficiency of the contemporary setting of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty. The same is true that it is all about the issue of self-contentedness and distraction from the very issue of heart and value of which the existence of man is accountable.

But there must be a shift of value system that ask for a balance and moderation without drifting either extreme in the quest to positively regulate our perspective of the current system. It must be the shift of value to balance our material well-being and the spiritual well-being and the self and others without recourse to the extreme as the current extremist nature of things seems to depict.

It must be observed, however, that in the 18th century, there arose a movement of the intellectual thought in Europe. And their sole aim was a rejection of the external authority as they enthrone what come to be regarded as personal subjective judgment.

Although, they were known to be called enlightenment and was celebrated in their intellectual individualism. Their main objective was also to seek to banish any idea of living by repository of wisdom beyond one’s own intellect.

This post-Christian era also known as the age of reason or secular culture, was with the view that any rational being must be able to work out the truth about life for themselves, which seems to rain supreme at the time. However, it was not without an element of misconception, and if you like, a misplaced concept, because it take for granted all matter of basic belief, i.e. the strong feeling that exist or is true in every individuals.

[b][/b]The outcome of this was an outlook that appears to control the opinion makers and information dissemination of the time. The consequences of this were a sort of anti-Christian, a type of mindset that seems to move against the very value and dignity of man, peace and justices, and indeed, the interest of the collective well-being.
