When Power Rules Without Love

[ExtremeRy]

Very well said. If love is the highest value it works for the benefit of all

[dreamscape]

I recently took Dr. Petersons advice, and intentionally said out loud...I'm aiming for the highest good, which is Love. And since I did that, my purpose was revealed to me, among other things. It's been truly Amazing how my life changed in an instant, for the highest good❤ 🥂💃💖

If we treat others like we want to be treated. Then we need to find respect and love for ourselves and for others. No human is that special that there better then anyone else. Everyone has their own reasonings to find meaning and it’s not for anyone to control. But when you have societal norms that cause traumas, create tyranny/slave dynamics and we destroy the fundamentals of morals. Which are non existent now in our society, a basic foundation of provoking others souls is failing our society.

We need love but also to respect everyone’s right to learn and also not be manipulated in nihilistic ideologies. That causes victims of society and only favours people who power. Since we can see crime rates going up and metrics going down.

People need to understand why they are all deteriorating the same way like we have in history that religious stories teach practically bang on how to deal with morals.

Exactly. The New Testament isn't erasing the Old, it adds up Love, which is the highest value.

The difference between you and us, is you think there's a difference between you and us.

[Smithistory]

Love must also be for your individual fellow man. The communists claimed to love mankind, but their claimed love for an amorphous mankind in designing a utopian future was used to justify atrocities against their actual fellow man.

Love isn't everything. There's holiness. Which is a higher love. If we get rid of holiness we get trash. God says get knowledge, and be holy. Paul says without love I am nothing. It's better to be something than nothing. That's love. But then you need knowledge. 'My people perish for lack of knowledge.' Then holiness. Holiness is like a mix of dignity, decency, sacred relational intimacy, and quality by purity and being more all encompassing. Which includes behavior, speech, attire. Imo.

...then we're in serious trouble (for thousands of years now)

Equating the illusion of power to power itself is having terrible effects upon humanity. There's a deeper question, and a more fundamental issue with this particular idea. Certain humans ruling over other humans has always been backwards and wrong, but only in a very few arbitrarily decided situations in history have we justified to ourselves the taking of freedom. Who has the right to tell others "do what we say, or else!"? Is it suddenly okay because the majority desire it? Is it no longer wrong if enough people agree to it and threaten the rest into compliance? No one was born with the right to rule, and no majority or agreement creates the right to rule. "What are we supposed to do, not have rulers?" "They protect us." "Society wouldn't exist without someone to control it." "If you can't propose any alternative, then your criticism was wrong to begin with." How many millions of lives have to be destroyed by the powers that be before we learn that something is wrong? What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong. Power. Rule. Threats of violence to compell others' behavior to conform to someone else's will. If it is wrong for "civilians" or "criminals" to get what they want by threat of force, then it is wrong for everyone.

Love is nice but Fear is more efficacious: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom."
Once we understand the juxtaposition of the mystery of the Light we will know the authority and power of the devil.
And when we understand the Antediluvian Account we will know Adam's discovery and his solution.
It reflects the terrible, life-altering reality of the Creator when He chose to become The Happy Warrior.

Mr. Peterson, my name is Lisa Rojenko there’s my little YouTube channel high-voltage and I have two other channels that I have made it past monetisation and I do want to improve myself and I want to join your course. How do I go to do that? How do I do that?

Freedom is the Ultimate Value not 'Love' or 'Good'. Here's why.

Rulers - either economical, political or religious will quickly demand you 'Love' in order to do 'Good'. They will say you don't 'Love' and do not have any 'Intrinsic Good' & can be punished - sacrificed even.
Either way they will not hesitate to use force.

Freedom requires only that you live you life as you see fit, peacefully exchanging your skills and produce without using violence or theft against others who allow you to do the same in return.

A profound median will be achieved that does not try to drive us apart by falsely claiming to 'bring us together' with the various Collectivisms.

Only primitive minds believe in human sacrifice...

Grace 🌹 is not a new idea in the New Testament. Matthew 22:34-40.
ESV Mark 12:28–31; Deuteronomy 6:4–5; Leviticus 19:18

Mark 12:28–31
The Great Commandment
28 And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, “Which commandment is the most important of all?” 29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, wthe Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment zgreater than these.”

Deuteronomy 6:4–5
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.1 5 You eshall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Leviticus 19:18
18 sYou shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

I don't know what love is. I've never experienced it my whole life.

[tomrestajr]

Aren't the saints in eternal paradise the true hedonists?

[KIF-ef]

The Bible says that Love covers a multitude of sin. I think that sums it up so well. 😇🩷
