Both Sides - Part 2: Beyond Reproach

"Here's something I've noticed about being Beyond Reproach: you can't ever improve. You can only defend your perfection."

getrevue.co/profile/julius…

Which means that, if you are Beyond Reproach, you have to close yourself off most especially to perspectives that say "I deserve to live in this world, and you are making that difficult."

*Especially* those perspectives, because they carry a moral imperative. They speak to harm and damage, of injustice, of wrong that requires redress. They force a choice: to listen and change, or to refuse.

They are, at their essence, reproachful.

Here’s what a reproachful perspective says:

"What you say and do about us—your words and deeds, and even your indifference—have consequence. All along, someone has been paying the consequence of your words and deeds and indifference."

"That someone has been us, all along, and the consequence has been the loss of our lives and well-being. Now, that someone should be you, and the consequence should be that you modify your words and deeds, and end your indifference."

A person who is Beyond Reproach has no interest in this.

And so they will refuse: to hear, to change, to care, or to apologize.

And their blamelessness has been defended another day.

Most times when I post to thread somebody appears to critique it winds up embodying exactly what I’m talking about.

It’s gotten quite normal, but this one … friends, this one is extraordinary.
