More on Human ABILITY to REASON, Human RIGHT to CONSENT - Proem & Poem No. 154

Most likely to be published later this spring/summer of 2020, my 11th book entitled appropriately; More Proems & 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 previous....

PROEM & POEM No. 154 - John Locke and Francis Schaeffer / Part 8

      That being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions: for men being all the workmanship of one omnipotent, and infinitely wise maker.

      John Locke (1632-1704)

      Actually we break this last commandment, not to covet, before we break any of the others. Any time that we break one of the other commandments of God, it means that we have already broken this commandment, in coveting.

      Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984)

      To summarize the ethical dilemma and logical spectrum profoundly determined by the aforementioned statements therefore considerations proposed by the last seven installments (see Nos. 147-153), let’s note the two internals, two unseen dynamics yet profoundly in place and constantly at work. First, harm is always identified by the victim’s logically ethical dissent, determined by the victim’s logically ethical preference therefore individually unique, originally internal and unseen however inevitably, rightfully, universally exhibited. Second and likewise, harm is always exacted by the offender’s presumptuous ascent, preceded by the offender’s covetous preference therefore individually unique, originally internal and unseen however inevitably, harmfully, perversely exhibited.

      Why the adverb perversely? Perversion is inherently therefore unavoidably at core of all forms of power lacking unanimous consent even if by solely one or two dissenters. That is to say, at heart of all politics, while in search of natural truth as divinely instituted, one will encounter perversion per logical inconsistency, ethical relativity thus moral deformity, an ugliness and repulsiveness horrid to sight, torrid to touch, lurid to hearing, putrid to smell as well vomit to taste, if contrary to one, two or more individuals’ preference per explicit or implicit dissent.

      For a moment once again, ponderously consider and precisely understand the word perversion by the most contemptible, abominable, barbarous, nefarious as well depraved, reprobated of definitions; for one to consent or dissent on all matters per his/her preference, yet remain discontented, disconcerted even disturbed until others act, speak even think compatibly, similarly by force legal or illegal. It is critical to include in consideration and understanding the word and sentiment covetousness as the indisputable perquisite to such perversion.

Ah the perversions that prevail amongst all noble causes
The losses therefore blood, filling to brim one-million vases
Hence usual applauses, upon undue laws, then unending wars
Per electorate scores, opportune doors till conquered shores

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