Scripture: Proverbs 28:2
"By the transgression of a land many are its princes, But by a man of understanding and knowledge, so it endures."
Commentary:
Public outrage over economic struggle in Iran reveals how moral disorder often opens the door to unrest and violence. When everyday people feel desperate, they lose trust that authorities will help them. There’s a basic human fatigue that grows when families can’t afford food or safety.
