Rules and freedoms: This is how trust shapes our life in Martinroda!

Martinroda, Deutschland - In Germany, a survey on the fears of the citizens is carried out every year. It turns out that many worries are both political and personal in nature. The outstanding topics include unreserved immigration and fear of financial relegation. A recurring motif behind these fears is the loss of control, which is deeply anchored in the collective consciousness. This knowledge makes it clear that the need for control in an increasingly complex world is of central importance, while uncertainty and the feeling of chaos are perceived as a threat.

This is particularly clear by the statements of Christian Rämisch, the youth pastor from Martinroda, who illuminates the role of rules in our society. Remic is convinced that order and structure are not only useful, but also necessary to cope with the various challenges of life. He points out that institutions such as TÜV or legal regulations serve to create security and reliability. However, these structures are not 100 % interchangeable and cannot cover all areas of life.

The balance between freedom and order

In a current interview with sociologist Armin Nassehi, it becomes clear that life cannot be completely determined by rules. Nassehi emphasizes that there is also a positive side of uncertainty. Aspects such as love, authentic human interactions and individual experiences are indispensable elements of life that should not be structured. A certain “organized loss of control” therefore seems necessary to enable a fulfilling life.

The discrepancy between the desire for control and the need for freedom raises interesting questions. How much regulation makes sense and where should we go beyond our need for overview? Rämisch refers to the Prophet Micha, who stimulates to orientate itself on the basic principles such as love and the ten commandments. These values should be a suitable basis for people living together. Instead of trying to control everything, trust in each other could make a better handling and ultimately lead to more harmony.

at a time when many people are confronted with fears and uncertainties, this approach could be the key to dealing with each other more harmoniously. Remic and Nassehi appeal to society not only to strive for control, but also to promote trust - both in themselves and in themselves. The results of such considerations are of great importance for the development of a stable society and could help to reduce pressure as a whole.
