Confusion comes from evil, period. I see more and more
confusion among people in the States regarding even common things. We have come
from being a nation of pioneers, and independent workers, who knew how to do
things, to a people who rely on others for so-called truth.
There is a mental laziness among many, which means that
people do not compare news sources, do not find out information for themselves,
do not do research before buying things, accept what governments tell them
about education, and even believe falsified polls.
How did this happen? One reason why people are mentally lazy
is that they do not pray. They do not take time daily to reflect. Their lives
are full of addictions, to food, drink, entertainment.
When I was a teen, we went out once a week on a Friday with
my friends. Now, young people and old people seek entertainment daily. I am
amazed at how much people seek out entertainment. It is mind-numbing.
I have written on the evils of American entertainment
before, but British entertainment is, if anything, worse. More of the capital
sins are shown as ok on British sitcoms than one would hope to see.
But, the confusion is absolutely caused by the bombardment
of the imagination by outside stimuli. Remember,
everything you see and hear and touch goes
into your imagination forever, unless you beg God to cleanse you of memory.
See my other posts on this theme.
Confusion is caused by
satan. He wants our minds to be scrambled by trivia, by nonsense. He does not
want us to think on the last four things, or on our eternal destiny, so he
feeds the imaginations of the world with useless information and entertainment.
I am very concerned, as this phenomenon is more than
material; it is psychological and it is spiritual. When a people no longer
reflect, they become stressed, and when stressed, people make wrong, even evil
decisions.
