fatal to justify


equivalent statement found in "everything's gnarly

pls don't take me to be moralizing. I'm not isolating any action as immoral, but rather indicating that every sustaining or pleasurable action in the world is dependent on things that we don't care to appreciate if we live psychologically attached to these entities in their sense-object form.

And I would say every flaw a person can mention is at root negligence of some higher purpose, because we don't say "flaw" to actual immorality, we just assume it comes from a flawed personality. If there is flaws-awareness, there's hope, even if it's hope qualified by overcoming doubt.

And I think a lot rests on tautologies acting as on-switches for everything gnarly. The real moral question is: can we have anything gnarly and maintain self-control and Self-awareness (own-needs and the needs of the contextualized self, the "higher self"--not as a goal or ideal, but as a continuous "thinking out" done by people to differing degrees all the time, whose integral limit for all numbers is the referent of the word God.
