A great battle is unfolding.
Religious orthodoxy has failed. The rule of Nations has failed. Our material civilization has failed.
The war between what is good and what is not good is approaching a final battle.
It brings verse 30 of the Quran to light
"Remember how the Unbelievers plotted against thee, to keep thee in bonds, or slay thee, or get thee out (of thy home). They plot and plan, and Allah too plans; but the best of planners is Allah."
What is your vision of the future of this world?

There are general objective universal moral truths. I would say that much of morality is this way. The rest of morality is relative to the individual so long as it does no psychological, emotional and physical harm.
The future of humanity rests with humanity, we should not impede or force things on other people's conscience when that conscience is clear and harms no one physically, emotionally or psychologically.
It will be a bright future when we recognize that there are good people that are totally different than ourselves.
Harm is something damaging to a victim and not to be confused with tough discipline measures. There are tough disciplines where people must face negatives, and overcome adversity. There are tough disciplines that make people confront their own actions, and intentions. Those kinds of disciplines are healthy.
It would be a mistake if we all became snow flakes, and didn't recognize the value of toughness, and tolerance. It would be a mistake also to force conform someone to judgments that do not fit the person's own personal conscience.
But the biggest thing to me about the future of humanity is knowing the difference between your right to a personal conscience and when that personal conscience violates others, it must be stopped.
I'm against telling other people how to run their own lives, and setting up a false authority over other people.
But a universal objective morality is needed that is reality based.
To me, my hard fast rule is that of responsible, adult consent of a shared conscience is freedom of relationship. We should not be violating other people's conscience when that conscience is clear of physical, emotional, and psychological harm to anyone.
