DEBTS:

Part of moral accountability is that you pay your karmic debt, which includes the release of others from some false debt of your own device, by avenue of which they were made to suffer in the first place. One must release any petty grudges or trivial affronts so as to be able to accommodate those adversely affected by one’s own actions. The debt is not really towards those people; it is simply what you owe, and they bear witness to this. You do not need to do this in EXCHANGE for any thing, as though it were the product of some bias that people imagine themselves to owe you nothing and that you owe them everything. In fact, if you are the problem, you DO owe them everything. But it is not so much to them that you owe it as you owe it AS SUCH. Morality is not relative. It cannot be bargained with. It cannot be defaced. Once you have affronted an other, that person has no reason whatsoever to level with you. Any thing you say will be suspect, and if you try to steal his words and to repeat them back to him they will appear irrelevant. No one need ever humiliate himself or herself to accommodate a wrongdoer. This is because morality is not measured in terms of individual debts that can be resolved by exchange, as though it were money. Morality does not occur on a horizontal plane, but a vertical. There are simply Right and Wrong, and I possess the knowledge of it. That is all there is to it. I do not need to accommodate corruption in order to actualize Justice. And insofar as I am just, there is no reason for Justice to be of any inconvenience to me. There are no negotiations. There are no trades. There is no equality. Debt is never resolved by private vendettas, but rather by public accountability. Any one who would turn this into a negotiation, as though what mattered to me were less than Universal, cannot be trusted. And if he were destroyed then it would be an act of Justice rather than Vengeance.

I don’t owe you anything. You owe me. You owed me this because Alanna NEEDED this. You failed. This is not a negotiation. There is no Even Playing Field here. There is no competition I consented to. You are simply In the Wrong, and that is a Universal Fact. What you owe to me you owe to the World, to Alanna, and to God. I am simply the witness. What you owe you will owe regardless of what you believe others to owe to you. Since the error is yours, the responsibility falls to YOU to clear your name before you can hope to benefit in any way. At any rate: benefit does not matter. This is not to be determined by benefit to any number of parties. It is not a game of zero sum. It is not an even exchange. It is not a compromise wherein you have a say. There is no Horizontal Playing Field. The situation is entirely Vertical. The facts are absolutely Objective. And that I alone possess them reflects poorly upon YOU, not me.
