Judgement and Crisis

 Judgment and Crisis

One has to choose if one has principles or follows certain rules.  Following principles determines one’s own character, defines one own’s morality and values.  Where being true or being false are the criteria for judgment, there are criteria for the finality of judgment. Knowledge sets the criteria for the finality of judgment. The criteria for knowledge is limited and may be challenged. Finality is the ultimate expression of the intellect and will - the exercise of their absolute freedom of choice. Intellect and will are absolute. Absolutism and realism together produce self-regulation. Self-regulation means self-imposed limitations. Self-imposed limitations mean balance between extremes, self-control.   Justice means being a judge of your own self. Being your own self means your personal identity. Your personal identity is your character. Being yourself by yourself means total honesty, being honest to yourself is to act according to self-imposed limitations.  Crisis is the conflict between your character and reputation.
