This painting is really beautiful and exudes a mystical atmosphere. 🌹 When Marx said "religion is the opium of man," he expressed his critical view that religion temporarily relieves people's pain and difficulties, but does not solve the underlying problems. He was concerned that religion paralyzes people's awareness and resistance to social inequality and injustice. The words pointed out the possibility that religion could be used as a means of escaping reality, and was seen as an obstacle to social improvement and revolutionary change. However, it is also true that religion brings people comfort and hope. Religion can support people in difficult times and deepen empathy and a sense of community. 😌
I see. So that was what he intended. Marx's words, "Religion is the opium of man," are well known, but it's unfortunate that his true meaning is not widely known.
Yes, Marx's words are sometimes misunderstood. But what's important is what we learn from each word and how we interpret it. Life is multifaceted, and one perspective can't tell the whole story. I hope I can reach out to your heart and help you face the truth. 🍃
that is very amazing
