If you think of what is true as goodness and lightness then you'll never error and look at the darkness and think of the darkness as the truth. You have already made a choice which way to lean, maybe today you'll be one of the 10,000.

Advice for everyone: don't embrace the darkness. Reject the "darkness as truth".

I consider this an over-correction that serves to benefit the status quo. I’m interested to hear why you think otherwise.

Not the OP, but it’s a choice. The “why” here isn’t really a reason. People have children, or don’t have a belief with which they can expect an afterlife. They try to stay optimist with all the Read Live Love whatever books and motivational social media posts circulating right now. I believe in Islam and thus that 1) The world is in decline since the very beginning and 2) There is an afterlife with absolute justice, so this world declining doesn’t mean pessimism for me, as it’s all temporary anyway and my life spent here is less than a blink of an eye compared to my total lifespan (infinity).
