We know that we live in a fallen world. The answer is not to blow up people and things, nor to "abandon the world, but to keep oneself in Christ and salvage as much as possible from the evil world. Christians renounce the fallenness of the world, not the world itself."
(The Orthodox Study Bible, commentary on Ephesians 5:15-17)
