The development of science and technology as we have come to witness over time, cannot actually free humanity from the very obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions that ranges from basic needs and rights. Although, these existential questions, no doubt, spurred us to face up to the most painful and sometimes, a decisive struggles of those of the heart and the question of moral conscience.
The contemporary man often tends to have the greater need for the inner-self and the outer- self in order to know God and himself. Of course, such appearance and knowledge would have demonstrate the need to nurture a sense of dignity and self respect. Because through such knowledge, we can come to know the true meaning of our existence as we work in the pathway of true freedom of justice and peace.
But there exist one of the Christian truth, which is not about ideology, but in the very recognition that there must be a change in the social and political spectrum in favour of man, that cannot be confined to any rigid structure.
And indeed, this often call for a deep reflection in the constant re- affirmation of what might be called, the transcendental, in that which seems to go beyond the limit and experience and knowledge and indeed, reason, in fact, in that which encompass the dignity of human person, if you like.
The same is true that, in what one may call the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there have been numerous recorded historical advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation that could inspire, not with passive acceptance, but with authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the pathway of truth and order to free man once and for all from any form oppression and violence forces, and indeed, from the shackles of poverty of our time.
It is true that through such collective resolve, humanity will be truly returned, as man strive to
enhance his dignity in the exercises of his full right and potential in the scheme of things. But there is the gospel of prosperity which in substance is adequate, but accidentally spoke about material abundance as a sign of Divine favour, of which there is complete silent about the purpose of this material abundance in the life of any man. Because it has become a moral issue and in particular, as there still remain a bunch of haggared and hungry Lazarus out there hanging around us and yet we are so indifference about their plight.
Indeed, it is a moral deficiency and indictment on the contemporary setting in which , even majority are been deprived and abused in the mixed of abundance and prosperity.
