Where is the kingdom of God?
Love is the tendency to keep on experiencing influence / interactions (forever).
Time exist due to irreversibility (of interactions)
If you walk the straight path its not going to be too complicated for you to see what's straight, but its not easy and its not safe.
If you strayed from the straight path, things will become chaotic, would it be easy would it be as complicated as it gets? would it be as hard as it gets? The reason why the question of morality and Justice could be so complex, so dense, and so dangerous is that it wanted to pull people (or yourself) away from chaos. The Truth is a fortress made despite of chaos, and the Truth is existence, its the universe. So how hard your life would have to be would be like asking how far do you want to violate the Truth?
Embrace the Truth especially for you who already knew, now, embrace the Spirit of Truth!
God is alive, if you believe that then you'd believe in meritocracy. The meritocracy of existence where God a living being take into account the virtues of things.
Is there virtue in the world of physics? If you consider energy as a currency then a battery or a capacitor would had virtues and viles. To ensure that a battery would always have energy, it should always maintain charge, to set apart the positives from the negatives and maintain it.
Let's move away from things that are beyond my understanding and zoom in on the bible, before I took everybody into wickedness (-_-):
The story of the Garden of Eden explains the beginning of sin for humanity, God as a living being is capable of being meritocratic, the garden, is a place where God's meritocracy manifests, and that God would reward all the virtues accordingly and evil is away from us (evil is the potential for misallocation of resources). However evil entered into the system when impatience bred disruption to God's economy, making God's meritocracy disrupted therefore subject to evil (liable to evil).
Eve was not supposed to take the fruit of good and evil, maybe the tree was something else too, but it was named the tree of knowledge of good and evil because when you took its fruit you'd certainly had committed evil against the command of God. Maybe the whole thing is a poetry of something else, sex? gossip? regardless we could understand the Garden as a working economy and evil being offenses against the rewarding system. (Not saying that it couldn't be an actual garden with actual trees of miraculous effects).
You could see the pattern also in the story of the tower of Babel, when human beings managed to build for themselves a "wonder" but later destroyed because of tribalism, you'd expect some people within Babel were disorganized and possibly were suspicious of each other, accusing evil of one another, and to distribute rewards not out of the meritocratic discipline but out of tribalism. So became the destruction of the whole idea.
Such is the world of human beings, we have ways to distribute potentials in the economy, we reward achievements and solutions, and we stay away from reckless distribution of resources (out of respect to scarcity). If God exists, and alive, shouldn't He be rewarding those that are good, and prevented evil against them?
The life of Jesus Christ as God in flesh shows us the economy of God. The reason why good wasn't rewarded is not that God is not good, or God doesn't exist, but because of evil. For those who believe that God is real, he / she should separate the meritocracy of God and the meritocracy of the world that's ruined. For those who believe in Jesus he / she should do some accounting, in accordance to his / her faith of what rewards were Godly, and what rewards were worldly and then discipline the self patiently in accordance to the faith.
Jesus, God himself, weren't being rewarded 100% of the time in this world, even though He is always good. Ever since the time of Eden, God had predicted that one day good and evil would be confusing, so in order to save humanity, an assurance must be given, and so the salvation of Jesus Christ is (also) in the assurance and the way His life was rewarded in this world at that time. Again, meritocracy speaks human, speaks God, speaks what we call "intelligent beings".
When the world was heavy upon you, remember that it had been ruined and that it had failed in working, even for Jesus Christ God himself. But also remember that God is alive and He is Just, Lovely, and fair, He is not planning on abandoning us but to take us into His Kingdom in the end. Be patient, believe, the rewards that are from God is eternal and His economy is Heavenly. Endure the ruined world, be obedient until the end (like Jesus), because the economy of the world is not accurate, and mistakes are painful and are bad, but in Christ such inaccuracies will be redeemed.
Hope is not useless, Hope that everything would be adjusted, Hope that the Spirit of Truth will continue on, the past will be traced and exposed, and our contributions of sins will be done over with, our contributions of virtues will keep on bearing fruit.
Now back to the capacitor, if you're a christian capacitor, you'd know that you'd maintain separate what is positive and what is negative in order to be able to contain energy. But even when you couldn't help but to lose energy, keep on the positivity (through faith and deeds) and the distinction of negativity (wisdom, discipline), cause you're a part of the circuit of God.
Self deprecating is a virtuous thing and we as Christians would likely be natural about it. Becareful for wolves in sheep's clothings including myself if I were being like "self deprecating" but actually lying, as if I were one with the big heart to acknowledge my own shortcomings but actually just virtue signalling for simpathy while still signalling that I'm not actually "short" but really "big".
Sometimes things like that is sincere, that honesty about one's inability to fully solve the problem had positive and virtuous aspects to it that made us wanted to console and made things a little bit more hopeful for a better next time, but sometimes it is lying and not productive and toxic for the body. Unholy and sneaky
The Spirit of Truth be Truthfully the ultimate winner of everything forever
Truthfully The Inclination to Keep on Inclining Forever Truthfully be the ultimate winner above everything forever and perpetually Truthfully and wisely Truthfully, without going against the Spirit of Truth (Truthfully)
Everything that are Truly inherently against the Inclination to Keep on Inclining Forever Truthfully (forever), be not alive, forever Truthfully
The Inclination to Incline, keep on inclining forever Truthfully
Amen

Even the Spirit of Truth embraces those who prioritized the wrong in the past
Lie is a violence against the Truth and the Truth is the Truthful Reality.
If you asked how come the world seems to be so against me sometimes, out of nowhere, than that might be the answer.
Although the Truth is also trying to draw from chaos without the bad part, to save the good part of chaos. Cooperating with the bad part of chaos, the enemy, the allegiance of lies is set to attack Truthful order. The difference is when it came to evil misfortunes, we'd knew why and where did the attacks came from (Satan).
So being humans our lies are being attacked by reality, then our truths are being attacked by evil. This is genesis' death, biblical death (in my opinion), the penalty of determination.
So looking at history how the answer makes sense in Jesus. Just be brave, at least live for something die for something. Who as by being fearful is going to avoid the inevitable? So live for something, die for something.
That I mean for everyone and for everyone different things matters. But to the world Jesus' death was stupidity, it was the one campaigned by the preacher of Ecclesiastes 12:15, such was Jesus' choice. Also all of Ecclesiastes covered the whole point I'm trying to make in here and beyond.

For those who stood under the wall of a house couldn't see the whole house,
The cross is something beyond that of the tallest skyscrapers.
Kebenaran itu berbicara tentang ingatan Tuhan dan kecenderungan Tuhan. Masa lalu selalu stabil atau pasti (dalam bahasa kita), misalnya kemarin saya makan nasi, misalnya, tidak serta merta kemudian kemarin berubah saya jadi tidak makan nasi. Roh Kebenaran mau menjaga ini semua dan melalui Tuhan Yesus kita dinyatakan bahwa Roh Kebenaran menginginkan hal - hal yang baik (ketika Dia dituduh menggunakan kekuatan jahat untuk melakukan hal yang baik, ketika Dia mengatakan Tuhan itu baik, ketika Dia mengatakan Roh Kudus adalah Roh Tuhan). Maksud saya apa yang baik menurut Tuhan secara konseptual adalah sesuatu yang ada di dalam diri kita juga sebagai hal-hal yang baik. Ketika kita menganggap sesuatu itu baik secara ilahi kita berbicara tentang kekekalan, kekekalan yang sebenar benarnya.
Ok turun tangga sedikit, jadi soal kebenaran adalah soal memori yang pas, memori yang cocok. Itulah mengapa post ini mau memberi argumen bahwa berbicara tentang uang berarti kita juga berbicara tentang Tuhan kita Roh Kudus. Mengapa? Karena uang sebenarnya mau mengingatkan kita tentang pertolongan pertolongan yang sudah dilakukan oleh saudara saudara kita, dalam ekonomi yang baik, uang dimanfaatkan untuk membantu dan memecahkan masalah. Dalam uang ada memori, dan melalui uang kita meraba-raba Kebenaran dan berbakti pada Roh Kudus.
Itulah maka pernyataan Tuhan kita, sebagai sebuah pernyataan yang ilahi, mengatakan bahwa akar dari segala kejahatan adalah cinta akan uang. Terlepas dari tata bahasa aramaic / greek di masa lalu, kita bisa mengerti bahwa keserakahan sehubungan dengan Mamon yang dimaksud di sini adalah ketika kita tidak menjadi bagian dari Kerajaan Allah karena uang, ketika karena tidak dapat uang kita tidak menolong orang misalnya atau kita tidak mau memberi uang yang pantas kepada mereka yang menolong kita misalnya. Kedua sisi bisa saling mengklaim, tapi intinya kita harus memprioritaskan apa yang baik dan apa yang benar, cinta akan uang menimbulkan kebohongan, suatu pengakuan yang tidak pantas kepada mereka yang bekerja / tidak bekerja, suatu deviasi dari equilibrium, suatu ketidakjujuran. Siapakah Setan, bapa kebohongan. Apakah itu kejahatan? Kejahatan adalah potensi misalokasi sumber daya. Apakah itu keadilan? salah satunya adalah antonim dari kejahatan.
Dalam segala sesuatu yang kau lakukan, lakukanlah itu dengan sungguh sungguh, seperti untuk Tuhan dan bukan untuk manusia.
--------------------------------
Ok tapi sebaiknya saya juga segera memberi nuance atau klarifikasi, karena orang yang tidak jujur (anak anak gelap) selalu mau mencari cara agar kebaikan tidak terwujud, termasuk dengan bermain kata. Susah membedakan orang tidak jujur dengan jujur, juga kapan seseorang lagi jujur dan kapan lagi tidak jujur.
Jadi tentu saja kalau kita disuruh kerja tapi bayarannya tidak sesuai kita bisa menolak, itu juga kan berbakti buat ekonomi kita. Cuma apakah penolakan itu baik? Case per case lah masak top down semua, untuk apa ada manusia bikin AI aja semua bumi ini kalau keadilan segampang itu. Bisa saja cuma dikerjakan sebagian itu yang baik.
Hanya saja ketidak resmian vs keresmian ini betul betul bikin perbedaan. Seperti kita jalannya lurus, tapi kalau lurus di atas padang dan lurus di atas bukit ya beda bentuknya. Bagaimanapun juga Tuhan kita adalah Sang Firman, jadi kita juga musti menghargai keresmian. Uang pun adalah keresmian, dan kata-kata.
Once upon a time, in the future in a multiverse similar to ours. There was the Earth, and the people of earth were in division. Some Christians had successfully broken apart from the rest of the world and created an independent community. The rest of the world were being overtaken by bloodthirsty gangsters.
The bloodthirsty gangster organization became the majority however somehow the Christians were solid and managed to avoid extinction. One trait that differenciates between the two was that the bloodthirsty needed good hearted people to glue them together. As smart as they possibly could, they couldn't prevent war between themselves without the exploitation of the good hearted people, that's the only thing that keeps them together. They called these good hearted people the "cattles" and they were treated poorly (but its hard to say sometimes because it wasn't obvious).
Slowly and surely the color of the earth turned more orange than blue, for the sake of exterminating the Christians who made them looked bad they were willing to totally transformed the earth itself. However, even through such globally targeted disaster, God protected the Christians with revelations after revelations and inventions after inventions. The weakhearted wouldn't dare to walk but the way had always been available.
Overtime some cattles managed to escape their predicaments, and soon more and more cattles escaped. As events unfold, either the cattles ended up losing their goodness of hearts, escaped, or passed away.
Upon the dwindling of cattles the demon posessed should come up with a solution to survive. There arise the antichrist who will lead them to glory. It was glorious indeed, they even could show off miracles after miracles and should one compared the Christians' life with theirs it would be unsurprising to expect that the verdict was that they got it better.
However, war inside is wreaking havoc through the dimension unseen, like an infected wound they were fighting each other invisibly, eating away individualities and the assets of the conscious. Within 3 and a half counts of time their kingdom fell into some weird civil wars and succumbed to poverty.
After this were the 1000 years of peace where the earth turned blue again.
During this time human beings have excelled their health technology so a lot of people had lived for more than a thousand years, both Christians and the demon posessed. Due to the separation of domains, both communities grew at their own style, and it is clear that the demon posessed were evolving through bloodshed.
------------------
The end of 1000 years of peace.
Seeing no future for them on earth and with such deep despise towards existence at heart. They schemed to end everything. With all the weapons they had they marched to tear down the wall between the two civilizations. Such were physical and digital. Everybody had expected this, so when the time came "whatever will be will be" was the theme.
In a weird but powerful way the war ended leaving those who wanted to die died, and those who loved life lived.
