The Reason is Simple
Building or bridge collapse. Why? The answer is simple. Someone cheated. Someone came up with their own reality and many people suffered. They pretended they were being honest with codes and laws of nature.
Because we don’t want incidents like the one described above, societies have discovered and agreed upon values. It doesn’t matter what trade school, they all teach the same principles and use the same formulas. While every federal, state and municipal entity may use different building codes, they all agree on the freezing point of water, the danger of bare wires, the pull of gravity and the need to withstand wind, rain and snow. The builder or homeowner who cuts corners does so at their own peril, because saying that water no longer freezes at 32 degrees does not change the fact that it does.
Why did that bridge not hold up is very similar to why are there so many school shootings?
The answer is simple: society is accepting made up values. Our homes and communities were stronger when we agreed on the basics, such as the ten commandments. Once the cheaters talked many others into avoiding the hard work of honesty and integrity, the engineering and building codes for social entities degenerated.
Even if we can’t agree that there is a God or that the ten commandments came from him, we should be able to agree that killing, stealing, cheating, and lying are not good principles on which to build our lives and our social norms. When morals are no longer insisted upon (because enforcers are called judgmental), our society begins to collapse. The reason is simple: the universal laws of the universe don’t change just because a group of people wants to do their own thing. People don’t regulate the universe.
The most destructive kind of hate speech is when people teach or embrace values that are not accurate and have often proven to be wrong. The building inspector that allows building to be built with substandard foundations and weak steel may be rich from kickbacks from greedy builders, but his long-term impact is criminal. The parent, teacher or politicians who makes up their own values will answer for their impact on society with eternal consequences (according to the most authenticated book on the planet). However, those who hold fast to values even though they cost them more to live out, will enjoy eternal benefits.
