Wonderful to hear these intelligent people discussing this.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said "The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man."
David, this is so true. I once heard that evil sits on the throne of our hearts until good replaces it. We are our own worst enemy
"And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart." So true
hearts of men are wicked...
Society is horrible... No one is truly free. Most people are stuck feeling trapped living a miserable life. It's a shame that the world is this way. The system benefits the few and leaves the majority oppressed. How many people wake up everyday forced to live in a way they don't want to? If I were to guess, I would say it's a majority of the human population...
Everyone is expected to act a certain way, live a certain way, and even if they don't agree with it, they put a mask on and do it anyway. Everyone is just pretending....
No one can truly live the way they want to. It's possible, but most don't achieve that dream. Everything you try to do, there is always an obstacle standing in your way preventing you from doing it. Some among us are lucky enough to overcome them. Others don't.
It's like everyone is a zombie. We are not truly free... Animals for example are truly free because they can just live. Not humans. We are constantly pressured. We have expectations we need to live by. Do we really have free will? Isn't everyone just living there lives based off of someone else's idea of what the world should be like?
Aren't we living our lives based off of the way people have told us things should be? We have these ideas planted into us from a young age and we never question them.
We just say thats the way it is...
Do we really have a choice? We are given the illusion that we do, but we don't. If we don't abide by societies expectations than we will be failures right? Make money to live... Live to make money....
All my life I've always felt like something was missing... Like there was something wrong.. perhaps the way we are currently living isn't the way humans are supposed to live... I've felt this way for a while... Once I reached a certain age I realized just how fake everything is...
We have no choice, but to conform. Conform and live in a way that doesn't make us happy.
This is the cruel reality of life.

"No one can truly live the way they want to."
When have more than a tiny minority of people been able to truly live the way they want to?
So if society is responsible for this, and "society is horrible", do you mean by this any society with a complex organisation?
Wow a space full of bright people.❤
The last point of the younger woman is great
Yeah I agree, she's on the money
Great presentations. I'll love to have more of these on the regular. I'm so much in love of the ladies accent.
I really enjoy these discussions.
Self preservation is good but when you get too good at it it becomes evil
Important discussion, enquiry. Timely too,
We need more of this
If you have it, it's a tool... If you don't have it, it's a perpetual daily humiliation and difficulty
The problem is that money is seen as an instrument of domination instead of liberation.
Explain this?
Love this discussion; quite fascinating really 🤔
What came first - people in conflict with each other or money?
Conflict
On the subject of money … it is not money that is “evil;” rather, my exploiting others to acquire a surplus, and that that acquisition relies on, and moreover is indifferent to, another’s lack, is evil.
On the topic of human trafficking … it’s being viewed as an “evil” that occurs for money ignores the victims (by relegating their plight to a lack, a mere pursuit of plenty); when this inhuman act is committed by and perpetuated by greedy, self-serving humans who are given agency by the demand of other self-serving humans’ need to satisfy their desire for sensate physical pleasure. Without the “demand” there would be no need for “supply.”
Beautiful discourse
Very enlightening
The most easiest conflict in human history: men and women just arguing who leads the tribe and sends the other to gather food and not die.
Brilliant
Wow...nice discussion
I wish I could've been in the audience to listen live
The Word Says "The Love Of Money is The Root Of All Evil" operative word being Love...
Subject being money.
The lady with glasses is just good with mentioning names, she doesn't really teach or make you learn something...I really learnt something from the ghanian priest, when he explained about ...... The pursuit of a valued instrument or System(money) in a certain way to the point where the way (human trafficking) in acquiring this this valued instrument or System (money) makes you as a person to simply look for more of the valued instrument in order to still fund the way of acquiring the valued instrument, especially in a way that doesn't consider Human life......

It's all perception what's evil for me may be good for others and what's good for you can be considered evil to others, it's all perception and in actuality it just is. who decides is the ones involved
Fact
Money is a structuring force in society,
How is the evil acquired ? The love of Money
Ha !!! What 'a' great yet humble Disclosure. Bro's/sis,in the 'times' of Adam there was no christians/religeons or money ........but an organisation in Babel was Confused and scartered all over Earth with 'one' concept different languages.Now we have the "same one concept differ..religeons" in full growth and controll.If the "Lord of the Spirits" disliked it then , HE will destroy( jude 14.. daniel 2, -44..)them Soon.2 nd Book of Enoch does tell 'us' who and how many Instigated untill 'now' the ENTIRE WORLD SYSTEM INCLUDING CHRISTIANS.

They strongly need Ravi Zacharias on this panel.
They need Mohammed Hijab too
1 Timothy 6: 10. The love of money is the root of all evil.
like one or two people at that table weren't participating in tribalistic biased groupthink
Money is a tool. The root of all evil are people with a religious mind state
The heart, our Mind (desires)
the first evil doer (satan)
the 2nd (Cain), and so on....
was it because of money;? NO!
The Bible Lied as in 1Tim 6:10
