Moral Ecology

To add to my last two replies to this, and zeroing in on the part I put in bold above:

Don’t criticize people, and you will not be criticized. For you will be judged by the way you criticize others, and the measure you give will be the measure you receive. Make allowances for others and people will make allowances for you.

Parable of the Speck and Log

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and fail to notice the plank in your own? How can you say to your brother, “Let me take the speck out of your eye” when you cannot see the plank in your own? You fraud, take the plank out of your own eye first and then you can see clearly enough to remove your brother’s speck.

And instead of having a “Them” double standard, we have a role-specific application of the Golden Rule. For example, restricting information TO a privileged group of life savers and FROM an enemy group of life takers is not a double standard, but an even enforcement of saving life instead of taking it. The individual chooses the information they receive by the role they adopt. Which they can change…as far as they are aware.

Even if their role is biologically parent to a child. They could have killed the child and rejected their role, choosing the role of a life taker, necessitating the restriction of information. They are no longer privy to the child’s confidential information protected by privacy laws.


@Sculptor, you have a pattern of capitalizing TH at the beginning of words which begin with th and also begin sentences. Did Timmy fall into the well?
