This essay explores the relationship between humanity, the environment, and the concept of faith. It asserts that humans, unlike animals, are ill-adapted to survive in nature and must create environments tailored to their needs through cooperation. Cooperation is essential for human survival, but greed and corruption erode trust and faith in society. Without trust, systems and societies decay.
The essay emphasizes the transactional nature of faith, positing that faith is built on mutual exchange and trust. As God provides everything to humanity, humans are obligated to give everything to God and to others who support and help them. Failure to reciprocate leads to betrayal, loss of trust, and ultimately societal collapse. The author warns against greed and dishonesty, advocating for a transactional approach to relationships and faith to uphold societal integrity and ensure communal survival.
