Walking Righteous in a Land of Deception

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” – Edmund Burke

Today’s world is one of mercilessly cut-throat ambition, where typically the strong thrive while the meek take a back seat and wither in the dust of the preemptive go-getters. It is commonly said that, “nice guys finish last,” and unfortunately those who act unjustly and strictly obey orders without reason, are the very same people the system rewards by its very design. It’s not easy walking righteously in a land run amok with mirrors, phonies, and a myriad of hidden landmines reeking of temptation and deception.

Righteousness is considered one of the highest virtues in many of the major religions of the world, such as Islam, Judaism, and Christianity; as well as highly examined concepts in Buddhism, Hinduism, and really all strains of thought for that matter. Despite one’s subjective opinion of religion, it’s quite impossible to realistically argue that one cannot obtain great truth from the ancient texts of these religions. There are numerous moral virtues that are fundamental to human existence which can be extracted from properly reading these religious texts. These texts would not have garnered the following they currently have without containing some level of inherent truth to which all can ultimately connect.

However, this is not to be confused with their fundamentalist interpretations, which usually stem from those seeking financial control and power over the minds of others. This perception has badly tainted religion and made it largely ignored and misunderstood by a vast percentage of the population. Yet, as with most aspects of life, it can be learned from. So when something like righteousness appears frequently in multiple ancient texts, it might be beneficial to at least attempt to study its possible meaning.
