Exist or Live...Your Choice
Existing in a corrupt world...I'd say "corrupt" is an understatement. I won't waste your time listing all the words & concepts that represent this world. This piece would surely turn into something else. But the world we live in, much like the flesh we live in, is basked in sin. And sin is death. Sin is even more lethal in comparison to death. Because death only happens in this world, but your sins will be with you when you die. And if we were all judged fairly, we'd all be forced to live with our sins for eternity [Hell]. But God is not fair. God is Loving. His Love for us unconditionally forgives the constant sinning we throw into His face every single day. His Love surpasses the hate & fear we spread across the world. His Love is the ONLY reason we are able to exist in a place like this.
So in my eyes, there is no coming to terms with a corrupt world in order to exist in it. When we accept a world like this as our only truth, we do not exist. If we only acknowledge this realm, we are as dead as the world that consumes us. My advice to you, would be to come in to terms with a Loving God & live accordingly. Only the creator of life can show you what living really feels like.
