Some people seek to live their lives focused upon
eternally valid and utterly infallible rules and laws by
which to control all aspects of life --- in the virtual
absence of interest in contemporary experiences and
revelations. Such people often fail to consider honestly
the costs of probable alienation --- as well as the
probability of the planned benefits of their efforts.
No matter how eternally valid, utterly infallible,
and ideal --- certain rules and laws may appear to be
immortal and perfect gods --- the the rules and laws are
bound to be understood and interpreted differently by
succeeding generations of mortal creatures who live in
differing physical and cultural environments. Each
succeeding generation lives in a different cultural
environment --- by virtue of knowing about the additional
preceding generations and their experiences.
No paradigm can be coherent and have integrity if it
does not deal honestly with how succeeding generations of
mortal creatures are bound to differ in their
understandings of the texts of sets of scriptures, rules
and laws. No paradigm can be coherent and have continuing
integrity if it encourages people to be indifferent to
contemporary experiences and revelations.
No paradigm can be coherent and have integrity if it
does not make provisions for dealing with mistakes which
have been made in the past --- and for dealing with
entirely new situations which could not have been
anticipated in the past.
Healthy living entails growth and change. Any
paradigm which does not deal honestly with the growth and
changes which healthy living entails --- is bound to lead
to personal and communal disintegration which entails much
unhealthy decay and disintegrative change.
