Many things can be fixed by the power of man, some cannot. We can fix our own doubts, fears, we can strenghten our resolve and our soul. When it comes to other people, it gets a little more complicated. We can arm them with the truth and show them the path to take, but only they themselves have the power to choose said path. We can force our way of thinking through war and violence, usually to nefarious results. We tend to dehumanize those who oppose us, we are all guilty of this at one point or another, even me. For we are all human and we are all sinful in our nature. Which is why Jesus had to come down and die for our sins, so that we might have a chance to be redeemed from our wicked ways. We understand we are not perfect, none of us can be. The first step we should take to enlightenment is to realize and accept this fact. Then, we must also understand that we should not worship other human beings, for they are not perfect either. If you put your faith in a person, they will eventually fail you and lead you astray. I am not saying not to love your fellow humans, do spread love and kindness whenever possible. However, do not be led astray by the wicked disguised as prophets. Kindly remember as well that just because you spread kindness and love, it does not mean to let others push you around and force you to change your faith or beleifs. It is a complex topic which we all approach differently. Regardless, I still believe as long as we put our faith in God/Jesus and act righteous, we will be ok. Many will come and try to tempt us into doing evil, even God himself will test our conviction. We must never waver. We must not let the hatred and evil of the world make us out to be jaded and depressed. Evil cannot create, evil can only destroy. If we remember this, then we can easily discern who is good and who is evil. The Devil is jealous of us because we have the spark of creation in all of us. He is but a servant, a servant created to serve us. Yet he despises us, thinks himself to be superior. Which is why God will cast him out of heaven. I say "will cast" and not "has cast" because if you study the Bible, you will come to find out that these things have not come to past yet. The Devil is still an angel in heaven, he has not fallen yet, but he will soon. Even the most powerful beigns in existence besides God, can be corrupted. This whole world is trying to corrupt us, now more than ever as The End approaches. Porn, lust, degeneracy, adultery, lying, betrayal, war, death, anger, frustration, depression, hopelessness. All lead to sin, yet we all partake in some of these things and emotions at one time or another. You cannot destroy sin, you cannot destroy evil. You can only tame evil in your own heart so it does not lead you astray into sinful behavior. Once you know evil is lurking inside you, waiting for a chance to strike, then you are prepared. Once you know the scripture written in the Bible, then you have a holy weapon to fight against said evil. So, to answer your question. The only solution I can currently think of right now is to temper our own evil, work on ourselves, not to stray into sin, to spread God's word far and wide and to never think one is good for complacency is our worst enemy after pride. Then we wait for our Lord and Savior to come take care of us and lead us into better times.
