Evil Forgiving Resentment

More From Hannah More

They say that when god was in jerusalem he forgave his murderers, but now he will not forgive an honest man for differing with him on the subject of the trinity. they say that god says to me, "forgive your enemies." i say, "i do;" but he says, "i will damn mine." god should be consistent. if he wants me to forgive my enemies he should forgive his. i am asked to forgive enemies who can hurt me. god is only asked to forgive enemies who cannot hurt him. he certainly ought to be as generous as he asks us to be.
Hurt Men Forgiving
We are entering a hyperconnected world where every boss now has more access, cheap access to cheap labor, cheap genius, cheap robot, cheap software, and then this world averages over. there is only one answer to that, and that is to get everyone as close as possible to some form of post-secondary education, it could be vocational, it can be liberal arts, it can be science and technology.

I do not prize the word cheap. it is not a word of inspiration. it is the badge of poverty, the signal of distress. cheap merchandise means cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country.

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
I worry about fast forgivers. they tend to forgive quickly in order to avoid their pain. or they forgive fast in order to get an advantage over the people they forgive. and their instant forgiving only makes things worse... people who have been wronged badly and wounded deeply should give themselves time and space before they forgive... there is a right moment to forgive. we cannot predict it in advance; we can only get ourselves ready for it when it arrives... don't do it quickly, but don't wait too long.
Forgiveness Pain Order
We can work on inner peace and world peace at the same time. on one hand, people have found inner peace by losing themselves in a cause larger than themselves, like the cause of world peace, because finding inner peace means coming from the self-centered life into the life centered in the good of the whole. on the other hand, one of the ways of working for world peace is to work for more inner peace, because world peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it.

You may call for peace as loudly as you wish, but where there is no brotherhood there can in the end be no peace.

The first amendment does not extend to corporations. it's a u.s. government thing. companies can shut speech down all they want. but the thing is this is destructive. this is discriminatory. and what they're telling themselves is they're making a much more peaceful environment. "we are creating a much more conducive and productive and peaceful environment," when they're not. they're suppressing opinion. they are inflicting their own world view and demanding that it be agreed with and acceded to. and if it's not, you get fired.

Let's grease the wheel over tea, let's discuss things in confidence. let's be outspoken, let's be ridiculous, let's solve the world's problems.
