The medieval church forbade usury and claimed that usurers went to hell. However, as the feudal system of the Middle Ages declined and merchants emerged as an emerging power, usury businesses amassed enormous wealth. Usurers donated their corrupt wealth to monasteries, and when they died, they could be buried there. It was a bonus that the donor usurer could receive the sacrament of confession shortly before death. Fear of the afterlife caused poor churches to accumulate wealth, used to decorate walls or build larger, more elaborate structures, leading to the Renaissance era. The unjust usury business sparked a literary and artistic revival. Let go of the illusion that only good things can change the world for the better or the right. The innocence of ignorance about how the world works makes it easier to accept sin and corrupts the world into evil. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The good is the state of maintaining goodness itself, not the elimination of evil, and vice versa. Many see “ maintenance of state ” as proof of existence or non-existence. NO! Failing to maintain the state doesn’t create a new event; it simply allows the opposite to manifest. A single dichotomy can’t judge good and evil. Even in the Bible , it states that separating and removing the wheat and weeds can only happen when a singularity (harvest time, judgment day ) occurs. Therefore, energy is needed to sustain a specific state until that singularity arrives. Energy comes from outside. Relationships with others are divided into those where energy is lost and those where energy is gained. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
