It’s interesting you would mention that, Jupiter.
The real Agent Z (Jesus) would also organize x & y this way:
x: treat others the way you want to be treated
y: show kindness to your evil & ungrateful enemies who hate you & treat you unfairly (including God, if you are a theist ontologically but an atheist thetically…because you feel God is evil & hates you)
x: exchange greetings with your circle
y: invite outcasts to hang out with you
x: live for & love your friends who are good & love you
y: die for (to truly live/love) your friends
x: tithe what you can spare
y: give everything away to the poor
x: lend without interest
y: give someone twice what they ask and don’t expect it back
x: forgive others for things you’ve also done wrong
y: forgive all wrongs whether or not you were personally affected and even if you’ve never done them
x: stop doing wrong things before correcting others about those same things
y: start doing generous things even if no one else is doing them
x: the punishment should not exceed the crime
y: accept all wrongs against you without repaying them with anything but blessing and prayer - and invite even more
x: obey your parents and those in authority
y: obey God even if those in authority command the opposite
x: fulfill your work duties
y: exceed expectations at work
x: reward employees after you reward yourself
y: reward employees before you reward yourself
x: first do no harm
y: heal someone even if you didn’t harm them
x: hide God-given gifts instead of risking anything
y: quietly invest God-given gifts in the public square without seeking recognition
x: never wander or lead others astray
y: return home when you wander and welcome/lead back those who will return
x: be fair
y: be the servant of all
x: be firm in your convictions
y: put all your presuppositions to the test with the innocent openness of a child
x: steward wealth generously
y: prioritize eternal gifts that increase without passing away
x: be sexually and emotionally faithful in marriage until death
y: make yourself incapable of marriage
x: follow the evidence where it leads
y: believe in the answer to the deepest question in everyone even in your lowest moment
x (a common value that is good, but bare minimum)
y (a personal preference that is both good and so beautifully extra that “against such things there is no law” unless you’re a Scrooge or a Grinch)
How would YOU answer which examples/members belong in categories/sets x & y if category/set z is Agent Z (this time it can be you) and NOT a Scrooge or a Grinch?
