Human Beings Are Supposed to Add Structure to Things
Human beings were given dominion over the Earth by God. We are supposed to be stewards — to add structure to the chaos. There seems to be an ideological belief that we should let things run wild — animals, children, plants. They seem to think that every time we intervene it’s somehow evil. But really what is the benefit exactly to allowing things to go to seed? Are pets and children who lack structure really happier? Aren’t they generally fearful and insecure if they’re sensitive and bullies if they’re not sensitive? And then there are the plants — even letting the plants grow uncontrolled has caused problems by contributing to a heinous wildfire problem.
And yet, the belief against sensical rules, structure, discipline, and responsibility persists. Right now, we’re in a rut. Our society can’t go on this way forever without structure and personal responsibility. We are still living off of the fruits of the hard work of past generations. Eventually, the stockpiles will be depleted, the infrastructure will collapse like the Rapidan Dam partially did in Minnesota, and the stores will close. Food and clean water will become scarce. Law and order will be a distant memory. Even if we’re “rescued” by an authoritarian government that promises to re-establish societal structure, don’t assume that will save you. Don’t forget that the main focus of these rescuers is to reduce the human population down to one billion people. So, wouldn’t it be better to add the structure back to our society ourselves rather than relying on these people’s “help.”
