I've always heard this voice pulling me from the inclination to trust others, insisting that the whole world is rotten. There's plenty of evidence that this is true all around us. Things are clearly falling apart, and yet, the fact that it is happening in democracies proves that we are mostly choosing it.

Yet, siblings, I fear this will make you stray from the path, but it must be said that faith is irrational. There is no concrete proof that we will be okay, but assuredly we will. Faith is also a choice, and it is the most powerful weapon in your arsenal.

The message of the traitor is broadcast freely into our minds from the largest corporations, our governments, our churches and mosques. The core of its teaching is to not have faith, yet, for all of our sakes, please do not obey.
