BUG AND GLITCH

Humans have become too smart.
In this world we live, is the only way ahead to destroy everything? The more I think it is, the more confusing it becomes. It's out of control because of serious glitches and obstacles.
Where did the god of salvation go? No, I believe that there is no god of salvation in the first place. However, I think there is a god who is raging. I got angry. Isn't the god physically angry? I was troubled.
When this happens, each individual has no choice but to set a god within himself, accept the present, and improve his mind. Even in this world without god, love must exist somewhere in the margins.
