PROEM & POEM No. 153 - John Locke and Francis Schaeffer / Part 7
As much covetousness must be so logically defined as previously reiterated (see No. 152), harm must be also logically defined as presently, conversely delineated. Unquestionably, to fully understand the harm effectuated by covetousness once presumed, arrogated then acted upon therefore the violence, it must be fully understood the harm as simply determined by the victim’s preference.
What is harm if not another desiring something other than what he/she would be, do and/or have per his/her own ability and resource, subsequently digressing into presumptuous persistence then arrogant insistence to force upon one or others violating their preferences hence properties, possessions even persons so to effectuate of course what another covets to be, do and/or have.
What is harm if not another desiring an existence, condition, status, position then property, possession, preference even (a) person beyond his/her own time, space, reason, knowledge, skill, labor, resource as well physicality, psychology, propensity, personality to imagine it, understand it, innovate it, produce it, barter for it, exchange for it, negotiate it, obtain it, maintain it, defend it thus again the presumptuous persistence then arrogant insistence to force upon one or others violating their preferences hence properties, possessions even persons so to effectuate of course what another covets to be, do and/or have.
Comparatively, in his 1964 book The Foundations of Morality, Henry Hazlitt (1894-1993) appropriately challenges popular sentiments by emphasizing the uncommonly known Silver Rule over the commonly known Golden Rule. And correctly so, therefore it would be prudent to question yet again accordingly.
So what is harm if not the transgression of the Silver Rule as well, do not do unto others as you would not have them do unto you (see No. 147), with the necessary addendum to clarify the implication, and do not do unto others as they would not have you do unto them. For it is not enough to consider one’s preferences alone, rather to allow such consideration to foster sympathy then regard and respect for others’ preferences. With that said, the Silver Rule practiced must be the logical thus ethical prerequisite to the Golden Rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Unless the former rule is consistently adhered, utterly moot if not assuredly injurious the latter rule if so presumptuously pursued.

She to him, he to her, as concurred by chagrin individually
Approved and/or disapproved, every counter alternately
Rising concurrently the anger (liken bad moons, non-boons
As the post-funeral festoons) per cause two paused too soon

Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.
