People through finding something beautiful
Think something else unbeautiful,
Through finding one man fit
Judge another unfit.
Life and death, though stemming from each other, seem to conflict as stages of change,
Difficult and easy as phases of achievement,
Long and short as measures of contrast,
High and low as degrees of relation;
But, since the varying of tones gives music to a voice
And what is the was of what shall be,
The sanest man
Sets up no deed,
Lays down no law,
Takes everything that happens as it comes,
As something to animate, not to appropriate,
To earn, not to own,
To accept naturally without self-importance:
If you never assume importance
You never lose it.
Better perhaps, but still just another Chinese wannabe priest [Laozi, aka Tao Te Ching, from the foundational text of Taoism, some of which draws heavily from the Bible].
We were provided God's Perfect Law of Liberty, to define right from wrong, good from evil, just and unjust, clean and unclean, so that we could learn to differentiate between these polar opposites in this world of confusion.
Judging another by any other standard other than God's Judgments is strictly prohibited, as is adding to or subtracting from His Law. To our detriment, instead of doing things His Way and receiving the promised blessings for doing so, we've arrogantly and ignorantly done it our way instead, creating
millions of made-up rules, legislation, policies, traditions, etc., which has created the de facto state of lawlessness we are all now suffering under.
No one could read all of the made-up rules in existence today (at the local/municipal level, at the county/province/state level, at the federal level, and at the international level) in ten human lifetimes, much less one. And no one could possibly decipher which of the made-up rules trumps the other made-up rules in any given situation.
Right and wrong are
NOT transient hypothesis, which change with the times.
Right and wrong are
IMMUTABLE, universal principles that everyone who hopes to survive Judgment Day
MUST learn and put into practice in their daily lives. And at the very core of these immutable, universal principles is self-discipline and self-sacrifice for the greater, common good in every moment and decision of every day of our lives. With the ego/"self" crucified daily, there would be no more wars, no more crime and no more of the poverty that causes crime.
There's no other way to avoid even the slightest assumption of importance than to place God's Law -- and the unchanging, universal principles it teaches -- above everyone's defective personal opinions and unjust personal standards.
