Justice and love, any sophisticated comments?

just for your information:

I do have a profile, with 2 more pictures, with face.

But since everybody is so concerned with appearance, I choose those pictures to be the 2nd and 3d.

Also, after a lobotomy, you wouldn't be able to type a readible message.

RE: 'Spiritual but not religious'???

Everybody is spiritual, mostly without knowing it.

Young, Steiner, Freud and many other psychiatrist along with the Greek and Roman filosofers all agreed that man (humamn) is made of body, soul and spirit. A trichonomy, like the biblical deity the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (made in their likeness)
Body: selfconsciousness
Soul: environment consiousness
Spirit: God Consciousness

Since the big break up with our Maker, our spirit is wandering to connect with something.
People searching out ¨spiritual experiences¨are really looking for a spiritual fullfilling.

Spiritual people have found it, and know it.
Religious people are searching, and for reasons of quieting their souls, adopt a religion to quench their spiritual need, and lose theirself in a set of commandments and rules. They call themselves spiritual, but in fact are following a man-mad set of rules, without thinking and deciding for themselves, and thus escaping (at least in their consciousness) personal responsability.

??

Just fore the heck of it I will reply to something that could be explained as a direct insult.

I know in wordly opinion, the difference between love and justice is too much to be able to reconcile.

However.
A father and mother lovingly chastise a child (justice and love)
Friends lovingly correct Eachother
Brothers/sisters point out eachothers weaknesses.
Even in political parties there is internal correction because of relationship.

Would you perhaps redefine love?? or justice?

What do you mean?

Guantanamo bay is not justice!
It actually reinforces my statement!

Love doesn't solve the problems in the world.

Justice sometimes needs to be swift and blind!

Nobody seems to know wherethe balance lies.

Anybody falling victime is a war casualty and thus accepted by the mayority.

Justice and love, any sophisticated comments?

The world does not really display a lot of justice.
Love has been twisted and either turned into religious fanatisism, or in lascivious exploiting.

What happend to the loving and caring relationships, where nobody was afraid of the truth and dealing with adversity was done in the mutual agreement of love and mercy?

RE: if love was

More than just a word.
A gesture
An encouragement
a kiss
holding hands
sharing
forgiving
reaching out
etc etc.

What a wonderful world it would be!

But love only exists in united hearts. United faith. sharing the same goals.

Individuals are capable of loving.
People are not

RE: euthanasia

Boy, ain't that a question.

Well there are definetely many points of view:
. personal
. ethical
. philosophycal
. biblical
. medical
. human

etc etc etc.

My personal opinion:
Passive: If somebody cannot sustain life by her/him self, when brain is not functioning by itself, when respiration and heart functions are not on auto-pilot, tecnically it is not euthanasia.

Active:
To divide in 2 parts:
1. We end critical life sustaining sources. (also to be known as passive activity) and let the body do the rest.
Too me, although taking action, is passive and thus not euthanesia.

2. To and a life actively, by adding to the body any kind of substance or actively denying the body life-necessary essentials (food/oxigene) or poisoning the body or any harm done to the body that causes instanty death: that's murder.
You take a life that belongs to God.

However:

There is known a term that is called: Mercy kill.
A rabbit you just hit with your car.
A deer, shot but not dead.
A horse with a broken leg.

We kill them, knowing we did a good deed, they would have died a miserable death.

That's not euthanasia, but mercy.
