Though none will admit it, envy is what inspires the rage toward people like Charlie Kirk, who is being referred to as the “Happy Warrior.”
Remember Greta Thunberg screeching “How DARE you, how DARE you!?” It was never about destroying the next generation’s future, it was that they were convinced they didn’t have one.
That is where younger “educated” generations’ anger is centered, having been conditioned to view their existence expressly through emotion. They have been trained to despise anyone who dares to have a joyful, healthy, abundant life in the face of their own inescapably bleak existence.
They have been indoctrinated to believe at the core of their being that no one, absolutely no one has the right to enjoy the bounties of life because, to them, the world is a place of grim devolution and unending despair for which there is no solution, no redemption. They have accepted the fate of the inevitable demise of humanity, their own kind (and thus themselves) that caused their hopeless state.
The decline in which they’ve placed their faith – an upside-down faith – reaches back through time to the Garden of Eden where Satan planted in the first man and woman the belief that they were incomplete. They were convinced that God held something back. Generational dissatisfaction became instilled in individuals’ perception of their existence, that happiness wasn’t possible because they always lacked something… knowledge, wealth, power, stability. Inspiring ancients to build a tower to the heavens was the belief that if they could reach God’s level they’d have what He had.
The lie handed down from Eden, that humanity is incomplete and must achieve fulfillment through whatever means available, opened the door for the Marxist (satanic) teachings that personal desires equal moral guidelines. If, as Marxism deems, religion is nothing more than a panacea, then individuals have permission to take and do what they wish, even to the point of surgically reconstructing their body, expecting to become something or someone other than what their DNA has indelibly scripted.
This isn’t ethical and it certainly isn’t science. It’s a lever of control over misguided minds, leading them to be ruled by delusion that induces depression. Expecting to find relief from problems over which they feel helpless, it prompts faith in manmade and often unnatural solutions. Instead of rationally seeking answers to a dilemma, responsibility for decision making is fobbed off onto peer influence and “experts” who indulge the individual’s emotions.
Taught to know they must rely on others for guidance that absolves them of accountability, arguments that challenge their judgment are met with visceral wrath. Absence of peace within themselves turns envy of others, who appear to possess what they lack, to rage. The old adage that “the grass is greener...” comes to mind.
Marxism is built on the premise that wealth is finite and must be “spread” around, and the ability to enjoy life is directly related to physical possessions, which influences and includes emotional satisfaction however it’s realized. Morality isn’t part of the equation.
Envy breeds hate. It is envy of another’s ability to accept who they are and enjoy what life they have naturally received or accomplished that may feed a person’s feeling of inadequacy.
What they don’t, or refuse to, recognize is the indoctrination to despise believers to the point of negating Christians the right to exist. Their reasoning being that the peace and happiness Christians may enjoy nullifies their own, that there’s only so much peace “to go around.”
The essence and result of envy is why God gave the commandment that “thou shalt not covet.” Focusing on one’s lack, and comparing it to another’s sufficiency, eats out the soul.
Charlie Kirk’s personality emanated the peace of God that produced a joy in life which he was conscience-bound to share with others. Logically and respectfully speaking truth to college students was Charlie’s method of responsibly encouraging them to seek and accept the path God laid for all to follow.
Giving a voice to those who vehemently disagreed with his premises, Charlie gave them the opportunity to express their thoughts. Then politely, but with conviction, he would offer common sense discourse they weren’t hearing in the classroom.
Charlie’s gift was the ability to dispel envy – driven by a deep-seated dissatisfaction and emptiness that students were trained to believe was their undisputed future—by embodying the reasonable, and pointing the way toward fulfillment. Believing Charlie was just a political activist, many overlooked his understanding the vital role of faith in guiding social order
We’ve had a century of slowly shifting public schools from teaching the “Three Rs” to become Marxist re-education camps. The fruits of the communist takeover in education has brought us the current generation of government employees and civil work force that exists on emotion. Fed in classrooms and media with the redefinition of fascism and nazism, these terms are now incorrectly applied to anyone who disagrees with the socialist doctrine to which they’ve been trained to adhere.
Charlie’s expression of his Christian faith has been dubbed “inflammatory” speech, flipping the definition of Fascist and Nazi from describing the godless tyrants who murdered believers in God, Jews and Christians, to call the victims by the name of their murderers. The irony is pathological.
Twisting language has brought this nation, and the world, to the edge of ruin in the name of envy, hating others who’ve gained what seems out of reach to the dissatisfied.
Peace will never be found in trying to be something or someone different than who they were born to be. Peace is found in realizing the truth of one’s nature, and allowing God to make them a better version of themselves through the work of Jesus, the Living Christ. The compelling term here is “Living.” That Jesus is alive and those who believe Him receive the gift of Life, bringing joy of fulfillment that is otherwise elusive.
It’s not a hard leap, but it is a leap, and it’s one that requires faith in another far greater than oneself.
