Great! I don't mind disagreement...

...I just hate it when it's for the wrong reasons (e.g. poor interpretation) :D

Both applications you pointed out were very appropriate, btw. And yes, God (or gods) were usually at the top of those social hierarchies.

---------------------------------
A stupid despot may constrain his slaves with iron chains; but a true politician binds them even more strongly by the chain of their own ideas;...despair and time eat away the bonds of iron and steel, but they are powerless against the habitual union of ideas, they can only tighten it still more; and on the soft fibres of the brain is founded the unshakable base of the soundest of Empires."

Jacques Servan, 1767

Forgiveness is wonderful; just get even first :) -NT - (hnick) - Nov. 7, 2001, 05:29:49 PM EST

Not a false distinction, but is it a worthwhile one? ;) - (tseliot) - (10) - Nov. 7, 2001, 07:38:15 PM EST

Yes, I wasn't thinking of legal issues. - (Another Scott) - (9) - Nov. 9, 2001, 05:16:20 PM EST

Not a question of punishment, but of power imbalance - (tseliot) - (8) - Nov. 13, 2001, 04:06:29 PM EST

Interesting historical context. Thanks. - (Another Scott) - Nov. 13, 2001, 05:35:15 PM EST

Value to me? or to our imaginary 1st-century folk? - (tseliot) - (2) - Nov. 14, 2001, 01:28:46 PM EST

Forgiveness is divine. - (brettj) - Nov. 7, 2001, 07:40:57 PM EST

A possible distinction. - (Ashton) - (1) - Nov. 7, 2001, 08:14:11 PM EST

Well small chirrun have the same effect - (boxley) - Nov. 9, 2001, 05:12:10 PM EST

Not assigning fault and the relation to forgiveness. - (brettj) - (9) - Nov. 10, 2001, 09:39:32 AM EST

I think you missed my point - (ben_tilly) - (8) - Nov. 10, 2001, 01:50:57 PM EST

Re: I think you missed my point - (brettj) - (7) - Nov. 10, 2001, 08:17:35 PM EST

Um, not quite - (ben_tilly) - (6) - Nov. 10, 2001, 08:59:56 PM EST

Life is sorta like an onion - (brettj) - (5) - Nov. 10, 2001, 09:45:55 PM EST

I am mixed on the Asimov quote - (ben_tilly) - (4) - Nov. 11, 2001, 04:05:24 PM EST

Karma? - (Ashton) - (2) - Nov. 11, 2001, 05:09:50 PM EST

Which type of karma? - (ben_tilly) - (1) - Nov. 11, 2001, 08:18:57 PM EST

Between the two, the latter. - (Ashton) - Nov. 12, 2001, 05:39:14 AM EST

Just being aware of the question is worthwhile. - (brettj) - Nov. 13, 2001, 09:10:16 PM EST

Thanks. And a little story. - (Another Scott) - (4) - Nov. 9, 2001, 03:19:03 PM EST

To a woman yes - (boxley) - Nov. 9, 2001, 04:12:25 PM EST

Put it this way... - (ben_tilly) - (2) - Nov. 9, 2001, 05:11:48 PM EST

Thanks. :-) -NT - (Another Scott) - Nov. 9, 2001, 05:08:29 PM EST

Thanks for some lucid prose. - (Ashton) - Nov. 9, 2001, 07:53:52 PM EST

Compassionate feelings that support a willingness to forgive - (brettj) - (4) - Nov. 11, 2001, 07:40:46 AM EST

Another incentive for developing that - (Ashton) - Nov. 11, 2001, 03:28:45 PM EST

Yes, that occurred to me, too. - (static) - (2) - Nov. 12, 2001, 10:18:09 PM EST

Maybe that's the real question? Who needs forgiveness more? - (brettj) - (1) - Nov. 13, 2001, 09:18:05 PM EST

I think that is situational. - (static) - Nov. 13, 2001, 09:42:31 PM EST

My thoughts - (orion) - Nov. 17, 2001, 01:33:40 PM EST
