The inner compass
The demand for fairness is not a habit you picked. It is a signature.
On a napkin
- 1The boil at injustice is inescapable. You did not install it.
- 2Convention (which side of the road) changes by country. The wrongness of crushing the weak does not.
- 3An objective law needs a transcendent Lawgiver. If He exists, we are not accidents: flesh plus a spiritual dimension, made in a divine image.
- 4That is why evil is a real rebellion, not the strong surviving. The compass is the Author’s signature, calling you out of the dark.
Say this
I am not asking you to invent a feeling. You already have one. The question is whether that compass is a traffic rule we made up, or a signature we did not. I think it is a signature.
