"Do unto others..." works just fine for people who don't mind being violated. "Do unto others..." is a justification for all manner of violation.<br /><br />Hillel's formula wasn't perfect, but it was better.Jack Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07499087036876745723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-17692375148025030762011-07-23T12:26:04.327-05:002011-07-23T12:26:04.327-05:00I think it depends on why you read.

There is certainly a place for shared outrage, but if the long-term goal is to assert greater control over one's life, the outrage needs to be incorporated into something that can sustain our relationships with others, even improve them. Human relations being what they are, I think that's where the golden rule is really a never-ending golden challenge. <br /><br />You don't jettison the outrage -- often it deserves to be intensified. It just has to be part of something more, I think, in the long run.JRBhttp://ladypoverty.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-12571586622476917992011-07-22T23:49:09.049-05:002011-07-22T23:49:09.049-05:00Yeah, I'm with you JRB.

I agree with your analysis of the addictive nature of making oneself right, the necessity of the "other" being wrong and not just wrong, but fucking evil.<br /><br />It justifies our rage. But to be constructive, to be gentle, to be positive... who's gonna read that shit.Aboniloxhttp://abonilox.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5461044.post-55461112505318667622011-07-22T21:06:47.659-05:002011-07-22T21:06:47.659-05:00worth the wait.
