What is spiritual decline?

It has been happening for a long time.

At first it is religion decline,  now it is spiritual decline.

Religion and spirits are not the same.

You don't need to have the help of religion for a strong spirit,  as religion is a formatted regulation for spirits.

Yet spirit declines.

Money is above all.  Money has replaced the human spirit as a major driving force for them to go forward.

I hope I am wrong.

As many of the best intellectuals are not working for money.

They have a goal ahead for them to go forward. Their success made money follow.

Intellectual success is in many ways.   Not all of them are commercial.

There are best intellectuals starving.

Are they declining?

The answer is no.

The only problem is for the general public.   Most can only see money.   Most are weak from the inside.

It was a term used by John Lennon quite a long time ago.  "They are crippled inside".

It is not a beautiful  scenery:

A few talented geniuses are running ahead, leading a huge crowd of cripplers crawling behind.

Many of the talents do not have followers.

But still they are working.

When money is the only criteria for everything, spirits will be weaker and weaker.

There will be less and less love in human affairs.

And so what?

The next is less and less truth in human affairs.

We know that truth is not the same as scientific skills.  Yet they are related.  When you have no love, you have no science.

The place without love will be the place without scientific achievement.

It is because their spirits are declined.

The country without love  will be the country of weakness.......

That is the basic reason of why some countries are getting weaker and weaker.
