Regarding pop star Justin Bieber\u2019s recent meltdown:<\/p>\n

\"\"It is not surprising that pop star Justin Bieber continues to have plenty of \u201cBeliebers\u201d throughout the world despite his recent meltdown.<\/p>\n

Very little of what we believe today is based on objective truth but on mere sophistries manufactured by the media, lobby groups, government \u00a0and advertising companies. For all intents and purposes we live in \u00a0a virtual world of fragmented \u00a0images and half-truths.<\/p>\n

In this virtual world, \u00a0when we \u00a0like a person we \u00a0tend to praise that person\u2019s most insignificant feats out of all proportion as well as to make excuses for all the wrongs they do. When we \u00a0don\u2019 t like someone we tend to belittle their great achievements and even invent bad things about them that aren\u2019t true. This is evident \u00a0not only in our personal relationships with others but especially in the world of entertainment, religion and \u00a0politics.<\/p>\n

When objective truth, and with it morality, dies we are left to our own devices and the sad result is \u00a0a world of selfishness and false compassion – a world without love. The darker side of this spectrum \u00a0is the stark reality of abortion, contraception, same-sex marriage, easy divorce, genetic manipulation and euthanasia which is infecting the globe.<\/p>\n
