Ban

We prohibit others in the hope of the death of sin, not realizing that sin is within us and prohibitions should go inside us, and not outside. And outside it is not us, but someone else outside, whom we forbid so that our sin would unfold. Our prohibitions on others give rise to sin within us, and do not reduce the sinfulness of the world. Our prohibitions on others increase our sinfulness and make the world even more sinful than it could actually be if we were not drawn to prohibitions.

And the stricter the prohibition, the more strongly our sinful component pulls us in, the more we are overwhelmed by the spirit of righteous indignation towards others and the righteous letting go of the demons within us. By prohibiting, we do not conquer sin, but cultivate it. Moralism, which is the basis of outward-directed prohibition, kills our inner morality. Only the moralizing of our own actions has the right to be a moral basis. As soon as we, reveling in our righteousness, turn our moral assessment outward, immorality triumphs within us and corrupts our weak spiritual component.

The righteous suffers from its own immorality more than from the immorality of others, and therefore it is righteous. If the righteous begins to suffer more from the immorality of others, then the righteous is over, it has dried up, it has dissipated, because inside this righteous person has nothing to rely on. There is no longer a container for the righteous, but the container for sin has become more spacious and easily absorbs everything that the weak in spirit can accept.

The legal prohibition must have the same vector. Only this approach can solve anything. The creator of laws prohibits only that which is the essence of his sin, his immorality, his fear. The creator of norms is doomed to prohibition only in relation to himself. But if the creator of the law does not realize this, it means that sin will destroy him, because he himself created the law, not prohibiting him, but allowing others, but the prohibition allows him. Because he introduced the ban, trying to hide his own powerlessness in the face of the sin that was devouring him. And with the ban he corrupted his own sin and gave it free rein. But sin has become even greater and requires new prohibitions, new depravity and new sacrifices. The prohibitor does not want to sacrifice himself, he values ​​himself, he loves himself, and therefore he is ready to throw more and more sinners into the throat of the new ban, so that the ban does not devour him.
