Morbid Righteousness

IMAGE


In Christianity and Judaism, "righteousness" is had by sacrificing victims - Jesus or animals. Jesus called God behind such infernal practice, righteous [John 17:25]. Can we trust Jesus because he calls a scapegoating God righteous? Not so.
      Also, 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 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]. What to do? Be solid and trustworthy yourself.
      You are your own best friend, says Buddha. It is within your power, at least normally. I appreciate Buddha's exposition of of real and false friends a lot.
      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]
