Today we follow up directly from yesterday's piece.
Such tolerance is already complicity and guilt, and must be eliminated in its turn. As soon as it is detected it becomes irreversible.
Fortitude, then, equals fanaticism. It grows with unreason. Reasoning itself is by its very nature tinged with betrayal.
Conscience does indeed make cowards. It makes Judases. Conscience must be eliminated.
"Fortitude, then, equals fanaticism." Wow. The end of reasoning...the end of dialogue...the end of forgiveness...the end of self-reflection...the end of critical thinking, is all a part of the the close-minded notion of the irreversibility of evil. In such a time and place, we learn to be always watchful and skeptical of everything "they" are doing or...we think they are doing. People who are able to look at situations with an open mind and a heart that will allow for many sides to be addressed and seen and heard are labeled as something less than loyal...even dangerous to the common good. That's a bit fanatical isn't it. Unfortunately, we don't have to live within a fanatical regime to see this kind of a life.
Connection: We can be just one step away from becoming a bit fanatical...something to consider.
Lord, you are our strength and our fortress. Therefore, we are able to be available to the world around us without fearing what will take place if we listen and bend and stand up and face the day as ones faithful to you alone. Continue to be our foundation. Amen.
