Part 8/18:
The narrative decries the loss of traditional moral structures such as religion, honor, and family, which historically served as anchors of societal stability. Modernity, driven by bureaucratic systems and mass democratization, has prioritized consensus and comfort over true responsibility and purpose. The author criticizes the cultural tendency toward superficial positivity, where even difficult conversations or deep pursuits are devalued or dismissed—replaced with trivial entertainment or affirmations of "being cool."
