A lot of religious people believe that this is a fallen world, but for some strange reason, they believe they're exempt. They're not living in the fallen world, other people are.
This strange sense of exclusivity permeates religion. This 'I'm right, you're wrong' attitude divides and separates people in a negative and destructive way.
We're all living in a fallen world - we're all immersed in selfishness. There are no exceptions, no exemptions. We're all in it together. The very things that we believe are corrupt because they've been built on the quality of selfishness.
We have to change from personal selfishness to mutual bestowal. In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves.
