    Matthew 5:34-37

    34 But I tell you, do not swear an oath at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one

    So who introduced the oath of secrecy?

















  • To me, it seems that trauma is an essential tool to build our civilization. Trauma allows people to identify with trauma in other people, or situations in general. People without trauma see other people suffering and feel bad for them, but they cannot identify with them.

    This is important for civilization because the processes of society have to be understood and sometimes have to be healed which requires that some people can identify with the problems.

    So to have civilization, there needs to be a constant stream of trauma to have enough people who can show the problems so that we can fix the problems of society.

    It’s a bit circular that there are problems to fix problems.

    Is it evil to cause that system of trauma? That depends on the answer of is it good to have civilization?
