THE PEDESTAL & THE PITCHFORK
When harm appears, it should be named.
Sometimes a door must close.
Sometimes the truth must be spoken plainly.
Sometimes, consequences are necessary.
Forgiveness does not deny what happened.
It does not call harm love.
But condemnation is not clarity.
And worship is not love.
The one behaving badly is still a human being, not the sum of the harm.
The one called a saint does not become greater because others kneel before his image.
One is not a monster.
The other is not an idol.
The halo and the horns are both projections.
Harm can be stopped without hatred.
Goodness can be honoured without worship.
No one needs to be made more or less than human.
Just clear sight, firm boundaries, and a heart left free.

A quotation from Samuel Butler
The limits of vice and virtue are wretchedly ill-defined. Half the vices that the world condemns most loudly have seeds of good in them and require moderate use rather than total abstinence.
Samuel Butler (1835-1902) English novelist, satirist, scholar
The Way of All Flesh, ch. 52 (Pryer) (1903)More about this quote: wist.info/butler-samuel/787/

A quotation from Baltasar Gracian
There is no weakness without its admirer, so be not discomfited because your ways displease some, for they will not fail to be pleasing to others: nor let their approval of them make you vain, for still others will condemn them.
[No hay defecto sin afecto, ni se ha de desconfiar porque no agraden las cosas a algunos, que no faltarán otros que las aprecien; ni aun el aplauso de estos le sea materia al desvanecimiento, que otros lo condenarán.]Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 101 (1647) [tr. Fischer (1937)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/gracian-y-morales-ba…

A quotation from Richard Steele
It’s a particular Observation I have always made, That of all Mortals, a Critick is the silliest; for by inuring himself to examine all Things, whether they are of Consequence or not, he never looks upon any Thing but with a Design of passing Sentence upon it; by which Means, he is never a Companion, but always a Censor. This makes him earnest upon Trifles; and dispute on the most indifferent Occasions with vehemence.
Richard Steele (1672-1729) Anglo-Irish writer, journalist, playwright, politician

History is thought of largely in nationalist terms, and such things as the Inquisition, the tortures of the Star Chamber, the exploits of the English buccaneers (Sir Francis Drake, for instance, who was given to sinking Spanish prisoners alive), the Reign of Terror, the heroes of the Mutiny blowing hundreds of Indians from the guns, or Cromwell’s soldiers slashing Irishwomen’s faces with razors, become morally neutral or even meritorious when it is felt that they were done in the “right” cause. If one looks back over the past quarter of a century, one finds that there was hardly a single year when atrocity stories were not being reported from some part of the world; and yet in not one single case were these atrocities — in Spain, Russia, China, Hungary, Mexico, Amritsar, Smyrna — believed in and disapproved of by the English intelligentsia as a whole. Whether such deeds were reprehensible, or even whether they happened, was always decided according to political predilection.

"In this exploration, I have come to understand why one would use #generativemodels to accomplish a specific goal, and how they can be successful in doing so. I don't think condemning people for using them is that helpful to anyone, or to whatever cause you're fighting for so fervently that condemning someone seems worthwhile.
These models, like the people who use them, are not one thing. They look different in different lights, held at different angles. Dangerous, awesome, seductive, effective, beneficial, corrupted—all this and more. And we of course are all sinners. The only way I have found to survive this world is together, reaching out with grace and understanding to those who do not see the world as we do, who do not act as we do. It is much harder than anger and #condemnation. That's part of why I'm sure it's the right thing to do. It also feels a lot better to reach out a hand than strike with closed fist."

A quotation from Joseph Addison
If men of eminence are exposed to censure on one hand, they are as much liable to flattery on the other. If they receive reproaches which are not due to them, they likewise receive praises which they do not deserve. In a word, the man in a high post is never regarded with an indifferent eye, but always considered as a friend or an enemy. For this reason persons in great stations have seldom their true characters drawn till several years after their deaths. Their personal friendships and enmities must cease, and the parties they were engaged in be at an end, before their faults or their virtues can have justice done them. When writers have the least opportunity of knowing the truth, they are in the best disposition to tell it.
It is therefore the privilege of posterity to adjust the characters of illustrious persons, and to set matters right between those antagonists who by their rivalry for greatness divided a whole age into factions.Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-06-26), The Spectator, No. 101More about this quote: wist.info/addison-joseph/83215…

A quotation from La Rochefoucauld
Our readiness to think ill of people without sufficiently examining the matter is based on laziness and pride. We want to find people guilty, we don’t want the bother of studying their crimes.
[La promptitude à croire le mal, sans l’avoir assez examiné, est un effet de l’orgueil et de la paresse: on veut trouver des coupables, et on ne veut pas se donner la peine d’examiner les crimes.]François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble

But it is just those books which a man possesses, but does not read, which constitute the most suspicious evidence against him. The Spanish Inquisition have deliberated on that point, and have come to a conclusion that places the matter beyond further doubt.

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
She said, No man, Lord.
And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
[ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Γύναι, ποῦ εἰσιν; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν;
ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Οὐδείς, κύριε.

It's so odd.
If you truly believe that God loves you, everything in the Scriptures confirms it; you can't be convinced otherwise, and you'll love others.
But if you don't believe it, everything in the Scripture will seem like condemnation & slavery, either for you... or by you.
