Trying Judgment

More From V. S. Naipaul

Human judgment of human actions is true and void , that is to say, first true and then void.... the judgment of the word is true, the judgment in itself is void.... only he who is a party can really judge, but as a party he cannot judge. hence it follows that there is no possibility of judgment in the world, only a glimmer of it.

It is only all too easy to understand the requirements contained in god's word ('give all your goods to the poor.' 'if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the left.' 'if anyone takes your coat, let him have your cloak also. rejoice always.' 'count it sheer joy when you meet various temptations' etc.). the most ignorant, poor creature cannot honestly deny being able to understand god's requirements. but it is tough on the flesh to will to understand it and to then act accordingly. it is not a question of interpretation, but action.

The conviction: i will not tolerate this age. the freedom: the freedom to act on my conviction. and i will act. no one else has both the conviction and the freedom. many agree with me, have the conviction, but will not act. some act, assassinate, bomb, burn, etc., but they are the crazies. crazy acts by crazy people. but what if one, sober, reasonable, and honorable man should act, and act with perfect sobriety, reason, and honor? then you have the beginning of a new age. we shall start a new order of things.

The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit. in the great chess board of human society, every single piece has a principle of motion of its own altogether different from that which the legislature might choose to impress upon it

Without making a fetish of goal setting, and without letting "lists" of tasks we desire to do dominate us, some recording of goals is wise not only for the self-reminder these constitute, but also for the satisfaction of crossing things off.
