I agree that "control" is the problem, as Augustine said, the libido dominandi, and that goes for oneself as much as others.<br /><br />Part of what I'm getting at in this thought is that if everyone spoke for themselves instead of trying to second guess others or appeal to a base or placate a mob, we might have a better idea of where things actually stand.

When you try to control, you deny part of what's there, and it takes its own life from that denial. <br /><br />I am willing to be shunned and disliked because I know what is in me, I own it, I acknowledge, and thus, control it. <br /><br />As long as a person is concerned about "being good" (which Christ said no one can be, but God), then you are ignoring what is really there - and it will come out, through indecision, cowardice, half-conscious ignorance, self-righteousness, etc. When I was a "good boy," I was one of the most horrible people I've ever known.MarkBrunsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16971990948866488080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-20283041885976203502012-02-09T09:22:11.964-05:002012-02-09T09:22:11.964-05:00Thanks JCF.
