So, have been talking to more and more people about the corrupt and evil things going on in the world, even ending up in random conversations with complete strangers while out shopping which has never happened before. Either myself or another person will casually say something aloud regarding prices, messaging on clothing, etc and then I will reply or another person will, and all of a sudden we are no longer shopping but having an in-depth conversation about the things we are seeing and hearing that are destroying our world.
Anyway, along with some of these recent conversations with strangers as well as some I have had with people I had already know, I have a genuine question about "enjoy the show" that I hope you all here will not immediately just brush aside because it doesn't go with the narrative here.
It is usually satan/devil/lucifer/molech/evil that thoroughly enjoys seeing humanity suffer, that enjoys the whole show of society destroying one another. It is all starting to not sit right with me, the whole "enjoy the show". Why would our Heavenly Father want us to ENJOY watching our society, our world succumb to evil, to see our neighbors (those in our nation even the world) continue to be subjected to so much brainwashing/conditioning, especially that which has truly impacted our children's physical and mental health? I have been thinking lately of the "Once More With Feeling" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where Sweet, the demon who happens to love dance and song) tells them to enjoy the show.
And I get it, some will say the "enjoy the show" can mean for US to enjoy the show that is being played out against the corrupt and evil, but there is usually double meaning to everything we are being presented and we still have not been, or probably will ever, have true transparency on anything that has, is, and will occur. How long IS this show actually going to continue and just WHO are the directors?
I always took "enjoy the show" to mean that all we are seeing is optics in the public sphere-- too much of it is fake so detach from that. With faith you can know that regardless of what they are trying to tell is happening, God is our Father and we can connect with him. Maybe this whole thing is a "show" -- despite the very real suffering.
In short, imho, the phrase is somewhat ambiguous -- but don't get wrapped up in the drama resonates with me.
