Our nation’s moral fabric is in decadence; let’s fix it

What moral fabric is our society made of? Our behaviour during this pandemic has abandoned me to the incessant thought of this question; floundering for answers every time. It’s in sunlight that our society appears defenseless against the abyss of human decadence.

Consciously, over time, we seem to have woven our tissue of life solely on the legal scale and discarded our responsibility to God and society. Thus moral mediocrity has blossomed under the shield of restrictions imposed by democracy. Without missteps, we are following the lifestyle footsteps of our colonial master. In his commencement day address at Harvard University in 1978, Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn warned against abandonment of society principles for a western way of life that is engraved on legalistic relations.
