I believe that people are fundamentally good and the only way to work around our inherent goodness is to engage in doublespeak and lie to ourselves and others in order to justify evil and violent actions. Otherwise, we must confront our own guilt and shame!

That rationalization and justification mechanism that we carry as humans. We can make ourselves believe the most vile and vicious behavior is acceptable. I see it on here of late. People doing things that are totally cruel and vicious to another, laughing about it, all the while believing they are "spiritual". I guess they are but doing the bidding of some kind of evil spirit. I imagine if one did the same thing about them, they would have a cow.

Ironic that turning something around like that shows how cruel an action can be. Do you want that done to you or your family? If the answer is yes, then go ahead and do it. If the answer is not, screw your justification, dont do it.

I like that you called a spade a spade and called bullshit. No matter what the justification, attacks on any level are still attacks. We live simultaneously on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual plane. Attacks can occur at any level. One does not need to physically be killing someone to commit murder. We can do it on the other levels too. As one of your posts pointed out, the spiritual level is the hardest to comprehend, but even basic insight tells us how easy it is to do.

Thank you for your posts...I am learning a lot more about the slavery system around us. It is a powerful mechanism...something we have to be diligent if we are to break free from.
