Fractured Reverence

The almighty one, who was once standing as the compass for mankind, now stands aside as his creation finds meaning in their own life—forcefully pushing away any attempt to go back into relations. As a result of this, a void between God and mankind is present, separating man from their past values which once stood as their foundation.


Consequently, mankind is now at a loss with no guidance through the windy storms life has to offer. As man was unwilling to serve, because he believes through birth the right to be served is his alone. As he is the creator of the mirror, pleasurably viewing his own reflection, prompting man to become self-indulgent creatures. Thus, widening the distance between God, as man's own self has become the one he serves. As with each prideful smirk, deceitful glare, contemptful expression, and selfish action, God becomes more and more as a distant memory than a friend.


In light of this, a complex exploration of mankind comes into fruition. Can mankind survive without God, as in man's life a need for purpose and wisdom of the meaning of life becomes a hunger man seeks to feed? So, man uses aspects of work and art to fill this void. However, even though these aspects fill the void of purpose, allowing man to create beauty amidst the ugliness present in this world, the looming shadow to understand this world is forever present. Leading man in pursuit of ways to fill it. Subsequently, God arrives like a knight in shining armor, coming to save us in our distress. Moreover, providing man comfort through his faith in God. As through man's faith, fear is non-existent, because faith is what prompts strength in man, as he has the undying belief God will guide him to a joyful end.


However, as decades pass, man's need for faith becomes more ambiguous, as he loses sight of God through his own self-indulgence. Leaving behind the values he used to navigate the complexities of this world, resulting in every action rebelling against the almighty one, as his own creation laughs in his face while continuously stabbing the idea of him in our society. As God is dead and man hath pulled the trigger.
