God’s commandments help us to avoid pitfalls. If God names a thing as wrong, it is for our good. There are things that God has declared good, and there are things that He has declared evil. The insanity of our time is caused by creating our own false reality, by calling a thing what it is not, so we can make it what we want it to be. This ends in all kinds of craziness. Reality is to acknowledge where we truly are and walk in loving obedience to truth.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness; who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! …For they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel” Isaiah 5:20, 24b.
