I

For many years,

the thoughts that people have relied upon for their survival

have been corroding their hearts

to the point that they have become treacherous, cowardly, and despicable.

Not only do they lack willpower and resolve,

but they have also become greedy, arrogant, and willful.

They are utterly lacking any resolve that transcends the self,

and even more, they don’t have a bit of courage

to shake off the strictures of these dark influences.

II

People’s thoughts and lives are so rotten

that their perspectives on believing in God are still unbearably hideous,

and even when people speak of their perspectives on belief in God

it is simply unbearable to hear.

People are all cowardly, incompetent, despicable, and fragile.

They do not feel disgust for the forces of darkness,

and they do not feel love for the light and the truth;

instead, they do their utmost to expel them.

People are all cowardly, incompetent, despicable, and fragile.

They do not feel disgust for the forces of darkness,

and they do not feel love for the light and the truth;

instead, they do their utmost to expel them.
