Greetings and peace be with you Pygoscelis;

What a depressing notion, that people would only find wisdom through fear.

You have to make a start somewhere, and the fear of God is only the start of wisdom, not the final destination of wisdom.

Consider the thought that more people might rob banks, if they felt they could get away with it, so fear of getting caught, might be the starting point of obeying the law. If you knew a way to rob a bank and get away with it, but chose not too, because it is morally wrong and other people would suffer, it seems then, that you are searching for a higher level of wisdom or morality.

During the time of Wilberforce, many of the MPs would have benefited from slavery, but Wilberforce said, at some point we shall all have to stand before God, how are you going to justify your stance on slavery. Could this have been a stark wake up call, that they should fear God? For twenty years or so they had no fear of the law, because they made the law, and they showed no fear of God, choosing to keep slavery legal.

I watched the short clip, when Tony Blair made a guarded and carefully worded apology for Iraq, he said, there is not a day goes by, when he does not think of the war. He was not able to apologise for the deaths and suffering caused by the war. I would not want to live with this on my conscious,

This just emphasises that when people choose to ignore their faith in God, they justify the things they want to do, they have no fear at the time.

In the spirit of searching for justice for all people
