Being a Christian, the burden should be light, easy, lift, rest – there are quotes to back this up. There is also quotes that talk about shouldering your cross. The combination seems to claim both ideal misery out and acceptance of extreme amounts of suffering.
In a World full of 8 billion plus people it possible to be hit, be hit often, by enemies one can’t see or fully comprehend. It doesn’t mean the enemies don’t exist, and the enemies don’t always tell you who they are. There is a good chance those enemies, likely could be friends, might have comprehension built and maintained based on partial truths and even lies, historic precedent that might have been set less than ideally – there is reason to pray for your enemies, those that harm you, those that mean you harm as they have high potential for having been mislead.
People are taught to not judge, are expected to maintain a high level of output, all while being hit by enemies they cannot see. Less than ideal determinism is in by design and seek and you will find hasn’t delivered ideally, at least for me personally. The combination tempts judgment which I don’t like, it also reinforces feeling of less-than-ideal delivery, less than sufficient trust established and delivered which I don’t like.
God of don’t judge will give rest gives feeling of allows followers to be made into a Pinata feels LTI, less than ideal. Tests can be made difficult past the point of which progress is made in corporations gives feeling of maybe God doesn’t want progress made in corporations, less throughput for all, less rest and greater misery might be more of the default setting gives feeling of bad deal – wrongs that are amplified are claimed to be righted, justice established and delivered doesn’t give really a feeling of true value delivered, can be taken to the bank.
I have degrees in engineering. Engineering usually needs to rely on solid foundations, like rock – yet our current society does not give feeling if you write something on a blueprint, save it to a file one day, it is guaranteed to be that way the next. There is an idea in Christianity, “to whom much is given much will be expected” – hard to deliver on expectation, people shouldn’t expect much with A-level De-mat (High Level of reducing value in materials). You will be expected to deliver while the ground is ripped out from under you – and then you will to have expected to have known that would happen in advance. Factors into reduced maintenance for a country that is deeply in debt is consequential. People that believe maintenance is likely, possible might have too rosey of a worldview at least at our current trajectory.
Support is being limited, support that would like to make situations better for all people on Earth, to high levels. 1% of desired support output, known might change decision making, perceptions and comprehension of oppression vs not significant amounts of oppression. Looks light might not be sufficient lift for the future.
The combination tempts one to judgment, tempts people to associate the wrong person with wrongs committed and re-amplified. Continuous anger management tests have potential for high value out bias amplification and needs to stop.
Much will be expected doesn’t give feeling of God always values investments in education. If Luke 6:38 couldn’t be trusted, it would have been removed from The Bible – thus potential for compounded interest for all losses. Thus one would venture to say it is wiser, in my enemies best interest to no longer be my enemy. If I were throwing rocks at the window of someone about to be rich I might want to change my tune in advance. Peace made in advance beats less trustworthy supply lines. My enemy might be driving the streets, make their life harder seems unwise, I walk those streets, children walk those streets.
