%DEFENSIVE LAWS TOOLS PROTECT INSECURE PEOPLE SIN+990720
%FAMILIES LACKING LOVE AFFECTION ACCEPTANCE INCLUDE 990720
Laws are sometimes necessary tools with which to
protect ourselves against the disintegrative behaviors of
insecure people who grew up in families which were lacking
in open and honest expressions of love, affection and
acceptance.
In the absence of love, affection and acceptance ---
children grow up to be fearful and insecure adults---who
are always defending themselves against outside threats to
their "integrity". Tools of various kinds are essential
in such defensive efforts; including physical
tools/weapons, exaggerated forms of self-esteem,
exclusivity, laws and judicial procedures. In the
absence of balance and love such defensive efforts lead to
tragic consequences.
Some of us are good at the rationalization of our
defensive efforts. Our minds work overtime --- while our
hearts are asleep. Our hearts have been injured and we
over-compensate for our disability to love -- by over-
using our minds and abilities to manipulate words, ideas,
ideals, values and principles. With them we can
manipulate other people's attitudes, assumptions, beliefs,
convictions, thinking, decisions and actions ---
especially if they are poor and weak --- they are not as
gifted as we are in manipulative skills.
We are good at painting pictures in which we are the
focus of favorable attention --- and people who are
different are placed in dark inferior places in the
picture. God has judged them to be inferior to us ---
because of our ability to manipulate them in our superior
defenses of our selves. Praise be to God for His
wonderful mercies which He has bestowed upon Us.
