Said Righteousness

In Christianity and Judaism, "righteousness" is had by sacrificing victims - Jesus or animals. Jesus called God behind such practice, righteous [John 17:25]. Can we trust Jesus because he calls a scapegoating spirit a righteous father? Think twice; it could pay well.

Thus, for your own good, think over a few sides to your own life in the light of that "righteous Father's" commands, such as: "Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day [i.e., Saturday] must be put to death." [Exodus 31;15-16]. Refrain from calling a murderous tyrant with a carrot and a whip righteous [Leviticus 26:3-46]. And note how inconsistently and poorly the Bible's "last-forever"-command has been carried out on Saturday workers today.

What to do? Renew yourself by learning to dive within for a spell, repeatedly. Meditation is for that. Then you may start to bear fruits from your source and be solid and trustworthy yourself. As you go on in this way, you may set aside something for better living as time goes on. Buddha advocates it, and many other highly useful things for followers. [More]

You may be your own best friend for the wise steps you take into good order that upholds and assists you, and opens up for blossoming relationships too. Try and work for harmony and constancy as you tap your intrinsic potential. It should be within your power.

A true friend helps you to elevate yourself. A person's inmost essence is the first of friends. Keep attuned to your heart, then.

Rightousness (Dharma) is a key concept in both Hinduism and Buddhism. There are many definitions and shades of meanings as to what righteousness is. [Link]
