so i wrote before about judgement & non-judgement...
OT: An eye for an eye
NT: Turn the other cheek
I don't view turning the other cheek as weakness. I see it as incredible strength & an expression of true faith in the oneness of all things. Unfortunately, it's hardly ever practical though because the world, although very beautiful with possibility, is such an evil place really. On another tangent, Nature is filled with splendor, but can also be deadly unless one learns how to live harmoniously with it. Since the industrial revolution, we simply haven't. And before that, with Newton & Descartes, science felt it had conquered nature, but Einstein revised all that & allowed us to know more, but also less ultimately with the questions raised. Nuclear experiments that held the promise of free energy for the world ended up creating nuclear weapons that can destroy the world, but that ironically, also keep the peace.
Oh well you're a Nietzsche guy, !@#$%!, & I'm a Kierkegaard guy so there are lots of similarities, but also some key differences. Both of them were wise, & both of them, in their own way, were also pretty fucked-up individuals as well.
