The world is HEAVY right now with so much "curing" going on. And I’m not talking in medical terms here, I’m talking social. There is an absence of personal agency/responsibility, and realizing our choices have a domino effect culminating in the scandals everywhere we look.…the absence of not just the belief in God (because we all know people who frontload their religion to mask their vices) but more importantly the FEAR of God in people’s lives.
When you are at the Cure stage of whatever tribulation you are facing then you are either the victim or the perpetrator in it—both are weak positions and I’d rather be labeled neither. There’s a lot of perpetrators and victims in the headlines today and that’s reflective of our lazy morally debased society trying to cure the problems without considering the roots. Stay away from the things and people that will make you a victim or a perpetrator. In terms of victimhood that could have been prevented, there is a daunting psychological power that most people do not want to harness`and that is the realization that we have to consent to everything--if we peel back the layers, things really don't just "happen" to us! (I've never felt simultaneously empowered AND offended than when I remind myself of that truth.lol) Choices are made. Blinders are put on. I've heard an impactful phrase in regards to this topic that people could philosophize all day on: "It's not your fault but it is your responsibility."
Like a bodyguard working incognito watching over his client for years, Prevention flies under the radar. It doesn’t get as much media attention because it comes from having a gratitude mindset and personal agency in all our decisions. People with a Prevention mindset have a self awareness about the sacredness of their own spirit/mind/body and have reverence for other’s, too.
Prevention is the invisible stronghold that primes us to do more interesting and greater things in our lifetimes—and it keeps people from being perpetrators and victims. Prevention might be mundane and boring at times, you might even experience some FOMO and exhaustion from doing the right thing but just keep going….. 🤍
