Why are moral values declining?
I don't think they are. morals are generally dictated by a society, writ large. They get embodied in customs, courtesies, and cultures. So they may change anywhere you go throughout the world. But digital, print, and social media promulgate the importance for the dialogue about societal morals to the people. So the importance is not declining; the impact is not changing. The coverage is. But what about the role of religion? But religion is meant to give people hope, community, and clarity to vague reasoning. Religion can also help individual people to process through grief and through other emotions to increase their resiliency, comprehension, or relationships with other people. Religion cannot govern. A government has to look out for the best interests of the people. That includes physical well-being, mental well-being, and the opportunity for each individual to have an equal chance at maintaining their own spiritual health. Spiritual health is a legacy of generations and cultures. Now I don't want to dive into religion here and now, but if social morals are declining then there are more popular events that revolve around excess pride, lust, anger, or gluttony for example.
Gluttony, for example, is not just enjoying what you eat or drink; or by having a lot of materialistic things. Gluttony is the excessive love of those things. Meaning more than you need to feel fulfilled. Consider the intentional use of whatever those things are: food, drinks, material things, relationships. When you use people, food, or things, to fill a void that you can't seem to satiate, it becomes gluttonous. That means spiritually, you've got some baggage to sort through. I don't mean emotional baggage. Emotions are expressions of your spirit; body movements are expressions of your physical self. Maybe, if you're trying to hoard or hold on to things because you didn't have enough of them growing up, think of it like a dog inhaling all of their food because they were a stray and used to having none. How is that remedied? You buy a slow feeder. You teach the dog that it's okay to relax; that it's okay to take their time; you build trust in a relationship again. Gradually over time you rebuild their spirit, and they become a totally different dog. Humans are the same way. But because we are social, we have to find ways to help each other; encourage each other; show each other that trust is okay; or that one loss in the past doesn't mean every loss in the future. So I don't think moral values are declining. People are still people; humans haven't changed. The conversation has.
