Before you complain. Sometimes I am intentionally ambiguous because a proper rebuke of an over simplification cannot be the same thing, or it will be mistaken as pure opposition. The ambiguity causes the OP to ponder what I am responding to and therefore their own post again.
Obedience can only ever be the illusion of righteousness, as all the law and the prophets hang upon two commandments and it is pride that causes a man to boast of his works, that is to honor himself and not God. Pride says "you pray three times a day, but I pray five". Pride…
If you look first for how we are alike, our differences will present themselves and lead us to an immediate reassessment of self, but whether or not you need realignment is irrelevant. The point was always to understand likeness and difference without tribalism or negativity.
It will be useful to know, for reasons, that Alexander the Great, a student of Aristotle traveled to these modern day countries: Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and possibly Uzbekistan/Tajikistan/Kyrgyzstan
To love an enemy as yourself is to reveal to them what they lack within themselves or expose them to any who observe their denial of the same or abuse of the good within you. By this all witness the spirit of truth revealing itself without need for hypocrisy or wickedness.
Humanity exists in a constant state of refinement by enlightening itself via reestablishing order out one mental break with reality after another. So remember, I am a fool convinced most of the time that I am more intelligent than I am, so are you, and so was everyone before us.
On the battlefield of discourse there is no defeat, as we walk away enlightened, sharpened, or both. This gain is gain for all, as it is just as much a victory for one as it is for all to sharpen an opponent in our search for truth, as in this way our enemy is eliminated by…
Police falsely accuse and punish because they get away with inaccurate punctuation that changes context or even questions into statements implying guilt. If you believe this to be unjust, do not do the same with interviews and speeches, as you are a hypocrite standing for a side…
For the spirit of truth, victory is life, and for the spirit of error, it is death. This is why you are to love your enemy as yourself. It does not matter if you attack and conquer or are overcome, a death is a death and satisfies error, while victory for truth requires you…
The wicked priest does not begin so, but becomes wicked by judging rightly for the wrong reasons, as nobody can know all things and this is the needed justification for a debate forum to refine what remains undiscovered, so long as this does not lead into idolatry of self and…
Even a fool can teach you a new way to be in error, the only useless fool is the one who puts an end to dialogue.
The fatal error in vengeance is not hypocrisy, it is the satisfaction and pleasure of being a cause of suffering that twists and unites good with evil and evil with good. You can do no work, good or bad, that does not also do a work within you.
To regret is to have been worthy of forgiveness before transgression. If it was not so, obedience alone would be righteousness, and the good seed sown in a soul by a good work would serve no purpose, and the desolate soul that seizes power by force would be as acceptable as any.
Only the good within is capable of truly suffering. Whoever can suffer is proved to possess it, and so also worthy of suffering with or for. Therefore understand to love your neighbor as yourself is to consider who lashes out for their suffering and who does so for blind hate.
Nothing can be done, not to read this, speak to a friend or foe, nor to ponder a riddle that does not move you closer to, or further from the mark. EVERYTHING, even observations lead to an inner chain reaction of redefining yourself, your role, this world, and your place in it.
Courtesy costs nothing. Offer the same courtesy and respect to a peasant as a king or a friend and an enemy. Within us all is a chain reaction rabbit hole to prevent much hypocrisy if we do or to embrace it if not. Outrage is the aftermath of a battle you lost to yourself.
Food for thought. History shows that salt enhances what is already present, whether good or bad, but if the salt tries to enhance only itself and above all else, the entire meal is ruined. Salt has the best and worst job, as there are more ways to be wrong than right.
Any with influence must not sacrifice truth to resist greater evil, as the lesser will become the greater and seize them unless by a new lesser they escape until they too become a lesser, as the cycle of evil persists by their sacrifice until so corrupted they too are sacrificed.
