I'm Totally Consumed by the Spirit of the Age

I can see how the philosophy of our world today effected me sadly. Existentialism has corrupted my mind and heart. Existentialism is basically being your own god, creating your own reality and truth, creating your own morals, and doing what's convenient to you. If that definition isn't exhaustive enough then I'll make an example. It's a universal truth that murder is wrong, but when some has the philosophy of existentialism they forget that truth and make their own truth. One could be really angry, depressed, or insane and forget that universal truth and do what they feel like doing at that moment(doing what's covenient for them) and kill someone. That's existentialism, not abiding by universal truths and doing what's convenient to you at each moment not considering any universal truths. I'm an existentialist everyday from lying, lust, cursing, and many other sins, because I'm too weak to live up to the universal truths and have to abide by something lower which is my truths. Surely, existentialism and materialism too is the Spirit of the Age today. Many of us seek money and only that, believing that that will solve all of our problems and make us happy. However, we shouldn't seek things that our shallow like money, getting high, and all of the other temporal satisfactions. We should seek what is true because what is true will always be true, it's everlasting. And we should live by the truth and not our own truths. If all of us live by our own truths, there would be no hope. Yes, there are good people in this world, but there isn't any impeccable people in this world, so we can't rely on our own truths and desires because we are all sinful, we must live by the ultimate truth of a being that's perfect, God. May God have mercy on all of us, because we have left him at some piont in our lives to live by our own truth and not by Him who is the Ultimate Truth.
