The Path of Choice: Reflections on the Nature of Society and Faith

In today’s world, there is an increasing rejection of fundamental values that demand sacrifice, commitment, and dedication. True love—the kind expressed through selflessness, compassion, and renunciation of selfishness—is no longer seen as a virtue, but as a burden. And any moral structure that requires effort is quickly dismissed as outdated or oppressive.

This rejection does not come from deep analysis but rather an automatic reflex against anything that demands responsibility. We live in an era where immediate comfort and instant gratification take priority, and therefore, any principle that challenges this mindset is labeled extremism—not because it is destructive or irrational, but simply because it requires strength. The problem does not lie within the principle itself but in the willingness of those who reject it.

History has shown that systems built on force and imposition never endure. Communism, fascism, and Nazism all began with promises of order but ultimately consumed themselves. When external enemies ceased to exist, the logic of violence turned inward, leading to their downfall. Today, we see a similar pattern—not just in politics but also in the spiritual sphere. Forces that claim to defend faith yet operate through coercion and fear inevitably become indistinguishable from the systems they claim to oppose.

The real question is: how does one resist without falling into the same mistake of imposing by force? The answer does not lie in physical combat, but in absolute conviction. True resistance does not require military power—it begins in the soul. When everything around crumbles, only those who stand firm in their principles will remain.

The path is not easy. Darkness spreads, and those who refuse servitude will face a cruel fate. But victory is not about survival—it is about never yielding. In the end, the battle will not be won by weapons or armies, but by the strength of faith and determination.

Light can never be extinguished—unless those who carry it choose to abandon it.
