Empty mind?
I see no thought.
The Kamala mind and heart is what I see.
(Strikingly stark, void of compassion and nebulous.) If you close your eye’s you can almost hear a distant crackling. Almost a laugh but more of a panicked whimpering.
Oops! Too much blogging and not enough sleep. Corrected.
Thanks for all you Don!
Which, of course, does not mean that the abuse of this power does not amount to murder — a sin that cries out to Heaven for vengeance. See, for example, the murder of Naboth by Ahab, or (with the benefit at least of repentance), the murder of Uriah by David. Not as though we need to look back almost 3000 years to find examples of murderous governments.
This is why it is a mistake to concentrate on intrinsic evils (which are always wrong) to the exclusion of evils for which might have been justifiable, if only certain key details had been different. Abusus non tollit usum, but likewise the use does not justify the abuse.
@Outis:
Abusus non tollit usum, but likewise the use does not justify the abuse.
Abusus non tollit usum, sed quoque usus non excussat abusum.
BTW, I second what Philip Nachazel wrote: thanks for all you do, Don! This is the ONE blog that I always go back to, and is the first one I read after Morning Prayer.
