A truly responsible people will take it upon themselves to become their own leaders, and protect themselves in that manner from the despair and hopeless nihilism of the desert chaos and from slavish subservience to those who will wield power for their own purposes.

An educated, responsible citizenry dispenses with slavish habits, adopts the mindset of true maturity, looks to the best of the past to guide the future, and forges its own fate.

It is a paradoxical truth, as well, that the voluntary shouldering of precisely the responsibility of self-governance lends to life the meaning that keeps hope alive and despair at bay, even during times of trouble, when simple happiness is far out of reach.

Is Betrayal Reconcilable?

My observation is that if there is a relationship and one party is betrayed by the other (falling in love with another person), it’s almost always irreconcilable.

I’ve helped people try and struggle through that on both sides of the issue—the person who was betrayed and the person who did the betrayal.

I’ve seen people grow up and not do it again. This was in situations where their partner didn’t know. In a couple of those situations, it seemed that it might even be described as a necessary experience for the person who did it—it helped them develop.

I am NOT justifying that behavior. But life is complicated.

However, I think society works better, all things considered, when you make a promise, and you stick to it.

There’s some real utility in gratitude. It’s also good protection against the dangers of victimhood and resentment.

Those who lie do not live or even truly have their life.

They substitute for that life the life of the lie and, in doing so, turn their eternal souls (and that is the right level of symbolic analysis) over to the king of the damned. Those who lie miss the adventure of their life.

So what?

If the use of deception enhances power—if it brings about hedonic delight—if it allows for the avoidance of responsibility, the quelling (however false in some absolute sense) of anxiety, or the circumvention of pain, why not indulge? The world is meaningless anyway, and the liar who wins may lie, but still wins.

Why is this quite rational rationalization unreliable?

First, perhaps, because it is naught but a manifestation of the spirit of the lie, attempting in its characteristic way to justify its default to deception.

Second, however, for a deeper reason: the meaning of life is in adventure, and the adventure that is true is literally to be found in the truth.

You’re Morally Obligated to Do Remarkable Things. Why?

Well, partly because life is so difficult and challenging that unless you give it everything you have, the chances are very high that it will embitter you. And then you'll be a force for darkness. That’s not good.

Also, the fact that life is short and can be brutal can terrify you into hiding But you can flip that on its head and understand that since you're all in, you might as well take the adventurous risks. That's a very good thing to understand.

What is also useful to understand is that there isn't anything more adventurous than the truth. This is something that took me a long time to figure out. You can craft your words to get what you want.

If you're attempting to say what you believe to be true and attempting to act in the manner that you think is most appropriate, that's genuinely you. If you're trying to live in the truth, you have the force of reality behind you, and that seems like a good deal. You have the reality and the adventure.

So, why is that a moral obligation? Well, if you hide and you don't let what's inside of you out—and you don't bring into the world what you could bring—you become cynical and bitter. Not only will you not add to the world what you could add, but you'll start being jealous of people who are competent and doing well and work to destroy them.

That's the pathway to hell.

When we bargain with the future, we produce variants of our future selves, alternative visions of who we could be, and project the real-world outcome.

When we sacrifice, we are bargaining with the future (alternatively: establishing a covenant with the future): we will give up this set of possible selves/possible futures now to propitiate God and ensure success for ourselves and those we value as we move forward.

We offer up something valuable, concretely valuable—self-evidently valuable—here and now, taking the chance that if we do so the future will make itself manifest in a more positive manner That is quite the risk, given the self-evident current value of the thing-to-be-sacrificed—one that carries with it a further mystery: with what or Who are we bargaining?

With the future, certainly; with our future self, certainly—but even more deeply, with potential itself, or the spirit of potential.

Furthermore, such bargaining has to be predicated on faith. That is ensured, not merely suggested, by the fact of our ultimate, unbounded and finally irreducible ignorance.

You have to move forward in faith.

Kierkegaard talks about the idea of being a knight of faith.

He puts forward a proposition that I think is akin to the idea that undergirds marriage, which is:

You cannot find out whether creation is Good or Evil without being all in on your bet. Just like you cannot be married without saying, “I am shackling myself to you and I am not going to run away no matter what. So we better get to know each other and get along because this is how it is going to be.”

Without that, you cannot be deeply committed enough to the marriage to make it work. So, it seems to me, that at the forefront of faith, you have to act in the world with courageous trust—not naïve trust, but courageous trust—in the potential goodness of being to discover whether or not that faith is justified.

And that is partly why it is faith; you have to put the cart before the horse.

Romance requires trust—and the deeper the trust, the deeper the possibility for romance.
