Our society stands at a crossroads where values like truth, honesty, and justice now exist only in books. The institutions established to serve the people, protect the truth, and provide justice to the oppressed have themselves become symbols of oppression, deceit, and self-interest.
The police, once tasked with bringing criminals to justice, now often exert their power on the weak while protecting the powerful. Lawyers, who once distinguished between truth and falsehood, now craft arguments that can turn lies into truth and truth into lies , so long as their client can pay. Journalism, which was once the voice of the people, has now become a tool of the powerful. Truth is hidden, lies are sold, and the value of news is no longer determined by conscience, but by price.
The medical field, once a symbol of humanitarian service, has in many places become a profitable industry, where patients are treated more like customers than human beings. But the greatest pain arises when religion, meant to purify the soul and guide personal reform, falls into the hands of opportunists, becoming a source of distrust and division. When the message of religion, once rooted in peace, love, and sincerity, is replaced by hatred, prejudice, and materialism, it is a sign that not just institutions but souls have fallen ill.
This is the moment when one must not only think of personal betterment but also consider the reform of society as a whole. Remember! The cure for societal decline lies in collective awakening and individual transformation. The state of any nation or society reflects the character of its individuals and their collective consciousness. If each person strives to better themselves and works to spread awareness and understanding in society, decline can be transformed into progress.
