Authority is an onerous task . Authority is only needed in the world while there is a judge to seek . The first thing a plaintiff seeks is a solicitor
of the judge .
When bringing up children (another topic) we often make a critical mistake over sibling rivalry , in that this urge to seek the judge to settle minor
disputes , not only is a symptom of early dishonesty developing , but
becomes a learned behaviour . The mistake parents make is to act as judge at all . It only ends up in
1 an inquisition
2 bad judgement without facts
3 one goes away cheated
4 the resolution took a long time
and on and on and on
And so people grow up , running to the judge , 'help me judge' 'give me moral justice' 'i cant deal with this persons dishonesty- you do it'
So children and adults must learn - you are not the judges of other people . Do not countenance their applications . Or they will never learn for
themselves how to live life . They must learn how to deal in the politics of experience and the seeking of justice , for themselves . While some would
'preposerous! to this
, it is absolutely not , preposturous . For children , it is safe to let it happen . By non response to apllications for judgements , non response
being declination and silence . Then watch them - they will sort it out for themselves . Often in ways you had not expected to come out . Its the
magic or will and wont - you wont , they wont .
And then they will grow up being their own choosers what they do .
Or not.
Authority has no place next to or near to truth - yet we find it sticking there , in the shadows . For truth is the authority here , the truth , being
the 'thing' which will chain you into hell , or set you free .
The closest to truth , are the ones who are the most jealous of it , and the writing of binding words such as constitutions has been derived with
something called 'moral authority' . Its the pretence of librals , the sermon of the vicar , the ramblings of the judge . And confused a person is ,
if he considers himself any sort , of justice .
Necessarily so . But he will give out some shoulds and musts , just not the ones _you were looking for.
The morally honest , is he who gets to slide away from moral authority - how can it catch him up ?
It cannot . So when enemies are friends , who slips by the net ?
Liars using moral authority are again , dirtying their own carpets , and , deluded .
Making themselves look more stupid every day that goes by . Because the politics of should and must does apply to these , though they would have it
applied to others . And in every facet of it s meaning , just because , some one hods a position of rank , guarantees no necessary exemption from Law
as it is it remains a force of Life , not one of those who would choose to enforce law as coming from them
Unfortunately people will commit themselves to moral authority , be that of their nation or government , the priest , the teacher , and so bend around
misunderstanding the sources of Law theses all are , they neglect to see , and to use , the facts effectively . Being misunderstood , they let the
facts bind them . This is not the approach of the morally honest (this is his nation) who will not suffer delusion .

Since moral authority is the source of justice which is 'normally' sought , as we have seen , by the weaker members of our species , then appeals to
moral authority may or may not suit the morally honest . He can choose what he does, given his circumstances. He is not in danger of faulting existing
moral authorities .
As life and his choices have tutored him , the person who can use the future to his advantage , lessens and eliminates , with luck , the need to seek
justice anywhere else.
He is therefore not liable to the threats from life which others may encounter , will encounter .
Can you attack the ways of the morally honest ? Can anyone? The answer is no , he is unassailable . Therfore he will not be attacked.
