Delicate Offers a Truce

[Mystic]

And how do you determine whether or not that is the case?   Seems like more religious platitudes to pick and choose at whim.

I'm sorry. But there is no good reason to come to a forum full of people of a certain viewpoint (Atheism) and then assume everyone has these negative qualities like Delicate is doing.

And in society, generally, you ought to assume good about people. I meet a person, I assume they are good. I get to know people, and most people I end up knowing are decent people.

And just because you have to make a decision if a society over all is engrossed in injustice, doesn't mean it's at whim.

The reason why I'm not rude to people here is because I assume they are decent people. If I were to assume everyone deserves to be treated with contempt, it would be impossible to be well mannered to them.

Generally, you assume well of people. This doesn't mean you assume them to be saints or anything, but assume generally, they are decent human beings.

In a society that is engrossed in injustice however you have to act differently. You don't assume anything, you make sure you know the individual is good.
