Who is more free among the two individuals below?
It’s okay to give the answer later. Looking at the modern world, we see that we have many desires and goals that are forcing us to become slaves to sin. People are engaging in various activities to assert their freedom, which are not moral. They consume alcohol, bidis, marijuana, and other drugs. They see this as a symbol of modernity. And pornography is certainly there to lead society to destruction. Teenagers consider obscenity to be modernism. They are committing various sinful acts under the influence of emotions. However, there is a group among them that is also doing good deeds. There is no need to talk about them. Let them continue on the path of goodness.
I feel worse when I see a group of teenagers and a group of young men and women supporting obscenity. It hurts to see them supporting drugs. They want to be trending on social media. They want to appear smart. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to look smart. But it’s not right to follow the wrong aspects of smartness. They no longer want to adhere to religion. Yes, that is their personal matter. However, it is not right to move towards immorality even if they do not follow religion. Some people continue to support them. In trying to make them modern, they are pushing them towards destruction. These people use religion as a weapon. Their argument is, 'Religion is man-made and is the main obstacle to moving towards modernity.'
Whom are they calling free? Do they really consider themselves free? Or are they modern? I would say they are slaves to modernity. In no way are they personally free. Now tell me, what will the answer be?
