Okay, thank you for the clarification / confirmation, @woelfchen.
Some time ago, I came to view much of how people can look at more or less the same situations in life and have almost diametrically (much as you and I, right now ...) opposite views of what to do about it, based upon the following:
"How we think is based upon our system of belief."
You and I almost certainly do not have the same system of belief.
Yeah.
So you believe in authority?
Yes. The ultimate authority.
Then war about who's authority is THE authority may continue?
Yes, as has been the case from the beginning of time.
This definitely does not sound amazing.
But I really appreciate the honest exchange of thoughts. Thank you for that.
Yes, we can certainly agree on that. The age old battle between good and evil. What is right and what is wrong ... What is life affirming and that which is most certainly not ...
Lots of different ways to express more or less the same idea.
Thank you for letting me know that. Happy to engage with you!
But how do you know your authority is the right authority?
Not just some other dumb people claiming that.
Like all other authority that is not ur authority?
I cannot see how an authority can be right while also claiming moral authority and judging and simultaneously punishing people who do not agree.
How can something not voluntary be right?
And how can someone claim to be good while also coercing, judging, punishing who does not agree?
So how do you know your authority is the right authority?
And not just trying to perpetuate its power.
