Athens vs. Jerusalem
(two concepts, like Gilad Atzmon clarifies in his work and his recent book ‚Being in Time‘)
looking vs. showing
listening vs. telling
searching vs. knowing
developing vs. maintaining
…
I know a person that can switch between these two states within the blink of an eye: From knowing (usually: that it’s bad another one had done) to searching (usually: looking and then seeing that it is not so and/or that this facet is not relevant at all – but other facets are).
So, by looking at this person I learn much.
About how deep one can hang in this struggle of knowing everything better (than others, than life perfectly shows, than anything that could be good actually). It usually leads directly to super-dumb views (only valid as long as not a second thought is involved) and so to super-silly deeds (following these views, even the crudest and most destructive moves are not only possible, but the direct way to go; every questioning of this is a taboo).
And about how easy a person can lift oneself out of this trap. It is just by: Finding a better reason. So, finding the way to look for / being interested in / be capable of dealing with the truth, or at least a true facet which is relevant now and here. Instantly this person is deep in caring / helping / supporting the beloved ones that this person in the moment before was about to disturb / stress / destroy!
I think this super speed is by .. this person doesn’t take the time to .. damn itself. Not to value the goodness of former deeds, not explain the good reasons leading to the (evil) deeds before.
And, this is good.
And because this is so, I think, everyone will loose if we #1 try to convince people of the evilness of their deeds, and only then #2 show them what could be done / thought instead. #1 can never be fruitful discourse, and so #2 will not follow, as they will not see (instead, they’re/we’re caught in the trap to explain / show / teach then).
Right?
