Thurman basically says we’re all deflecting responsibility for ‘negative deeds’. We all have some excuses, some extenuating circumstance with a ready alibi. (37-38)
Rarely is one willing to face the fact that the negative deed was what was really intended. Ooopsy!
But, If I’m on the receiving end of a negative deed though, I tend to regard it as a deliberate move against me.
Therefore: Practice charity toward others. Other than that, remember that judgement is for God to do. Every judgement that I pass upon my fellows is a self-judgment.
Ohhhh, caught me!
