12th Book on Ability to Reason, Right to Consent; Proposition, Problem & Poem No. 240

Most likely to be published later this summer of 2022, my 12th book entitled appropriately; Propositions, Problems & Poems on the Peculiar Human ABILITY to REASON, Singular Human RIGHT to CONSENT & Other Neglected Matters. The following will probably be included upon further editing, and front cover a slightly modified yet appropriate version of the 10th and 11th books...

PROPOSITION, PROBLEM & POEM No. 240

~ Preferring Unfairness Even Injustice ~

      Among the human paradoxes, the easily observed preference for unfairness although the specie quite unaware, for still promulgating even pontificating fairness and justice within religious, social, political, governmental contexts. Interestingly, the 21st century morally zealous mind whether social (left) or religious (right), is no different, of course paradoxical thus posturing as enlightened on such matters concerning justice, fairness, tolerance, rights, regularly practicing however unjustly, unfairly, intolerantly, unrightfully and more.

      The medieval French theologian, philosopher, logician, teacher, musician, composer, poet Peter Abelard (1079-1142) noted the same observed preference in his collection of ethical writings...

      They (people in general) don't regard with hatred what they have committed because it is evil, so much as they do God's just judgment, which they fear as penalty. They hate fairness more than unfairness. For a long time they been blinded and called to be converted from their maliciousness, until finally divine justice so turns them over to a reprobate mind.

      The medieval French theologian correctly assessed the person as the sinner disingenuously speaking of justice and fairness, yet desiring to escape God’s judgment as well natural causalities, outcomes, repercussions, emotionally, desperately preferring special treatment (if you will) therefore observably, logically preferring injustice and unfairness. For to be spared of that justly, fairly deserved per ill planned, unprepared, impulsive, irresponsible, reckless even malicious action(s), not to bear fully one’s own responsibility and risk (see Proem & Poem Nos. 117-120, 123), is to carry on unscathed, to move beyond lessons unlearned. 

      Thus swelled the bent oft pell-mell the intent, the coil mortal, soiled total, further still, upon innate propensities towards error and excess, otherwise the Adamic sin, so it is covetously, presumptuously even arrogantly then socially, politically and governmentally. To identify one among many examples, consider polity and/or citizenry’s thoughtless inclination or careless intention regarding taxation, whether arguments regarding fair share, fair tax versus the assorted tax exceptions, exemptions therefore exasperations (see No. 241).

Fairness even Justice, a rareness as Augustus’ authenticity

Ergo, actual (else not) the Pax Romana, the Great Duplicity

A conqueror’s peace upon the conquered and deceased

And slavery’s consent if slaves relent, or worse, showpiece’d

O revere the hypocrisy, let the people rejoice, relish and revel

In the subsidized stench, knee-deep in shit well shoveled

Cesspools liken public troughs, while elites laugh then scoff

Pounding tall podiums, along mobs Falstaff’ed squaring off

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
Study, Ponder, Labor, till last Breath.
