%SINFUL VALUES 791013
Lovers who are ultimately concerned with promoting
open and honest dialogue have a different perspective of
the highest human values---than do people who specialize
in affirming values exclusively. People who are
exclusively concerned with specialized values willfully
exclude from their concern those people who are concerned
with the complementary values. People who ultimately
become concerned with certain specialized values create
systems of values which measure dedication in terms of
personal willingness to pass judgment upon and
excommunicate nonconformists. Their standard of measure
of dedication affirms in an evil way the ultimate
importance of exclusive values, for the willingness to
sacrifice dialogue is the ultimate test of the dedication
of evil doers. This is very logical, for the essence of
evil is to block dialogue; while the essence of Love is to
promote dialogue. Love, rather than good, is the opposite
of evil. Good is the reverse side of a coin of which evil
is only one face. Good is the other face of evil. The
forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil
pertains to both sides of the coin which has good and evil
as its two faces. The coin is the coin of alienation,
sin, and estrangement. The coin is used to buy idolatrous
affirmations of exclusive values through the purchase of
the possibilities for dialogue to be sacrificed upon the
alter of specialized salvation. The opportunities for
dialogue are sacrificed to the idolatrous values of those
who do evil; i.e. to promote alienation. These values are
good values which are backed on the other side of the coin
by evil values; i.e., values which promote alienation.
Idolaters stigmatize as evil those lovers who refuse to
excommunicate people who do not bow down and worship
exclusive values which the idolaters know to be good
values. Idolaters are blind to the evil they do, and to
the Love of the people they excommunicate. Love is God,
and God is Love. Love is the power which facilitates open
and honest dialogue.
The values which apparently characterize the behavior
of lovers are not of ultimate importance. Lovers do not
describe how lovers behave and then demand that other
people conform to those descriptions in order to qualify
as lovers. There is no approved life style for lovers.
Lovers do not approve life styles, because to do so
implies disapproval and excommunication possibilities.
That would be evil.
