Fractos Societatis

 

In the present times there seems to be the fixated and peculiar notion that merit and virtue correspond to rank, class, and status in our society. This false idea is propagated and teaches that those who do good will be blessed to succeed in their pursuits and rise into positions of dominance or prosperity while those who do evil will be punished to fail in their pursuits and fall into obliviousness and poverty.

 

As a result humanity has developed that the capacity of an individual to generate capital from his own labor, or the collection of wealth from the honest laborer in the case of the nobility and other prominent subjects, is a decree of accomplishment and shows in accordance with GOD’s will for men to do work and do their work to the highest potential degree (Horen 4:3). This has then led those who are of the affluent classes in the empire, gentry and peerage alike, to see a display of wealth and fame as honorable and righteous, as opposed in Horen 7:3-4, yet some are lacking in a free disbursement of that wealth in a generous nature when the downtrodden, such as beggars, approach their residences, against the word of GOD in Horen 2:2-3. They find if a man exhibits what he has done in accordance with GOD’s will, acquiring wealth and a reputation being seen as such, then it is just.  And since this has become accepted others boast the greatness of the empire, in wealth and territory, as a sign of the collective merits of its population and former glorious rulers, as if GOD has rewarded this empire’s virtue and greatness with this large dominion, this pride being directly warned against in Siegmund 1:3.

 

I, Novation Besel of Nasiqua, would dare speak against the debauch and truly unholy practices of this philosophy and interpretation of the Holy Word of GOD. These are such arrogant, boastful and cruel claims indeed. Justice never was nor could be found in our, very much, human realm. Men of luxury have no place to espouse their virtue in such a manner when GOD has no dealings with rewarding those of good virtue with good fortune which results in a comfortable life, wealth, and power; nor punishing those with little virtue with lacking fortune which results in a necessitous life, poverty and inability.

 

The structured order of society which we all have come to know is muddled with those who are deserving of their rank and those who are not. A man of great virtue is not to be strictly found in the higher courts nor is a man of little virtue to be found begging along a muddy street side. In fact, there are many of the upper class who lack goodness but are believed to have reliable virtue due to their rank in the humanly order of things, while there are many of the lower class who have plenty of goodness but are believed to have no virtue due to their rank. We live in a society which is pervasively flawed, where money never accurately tracks virtue, and the fully fair distribution of blessed rewards and boons are not something we can or should expect while we live alongside men.

 

Furthermore, any feeble attempt of a human to judge another as being on any side of the spectrum, that being they are superiorly or inferiorly virtuous to another, based on a positioning in society is a sin in the eyes of GOD Himself. Man has no place as the arbiter of outward or inner success except on what is defined in the Holy Scrolls of GOD. Poverty and obscurity are hardly reliable indicators of vice just as wealth and renown are hardly reliable indicators of virtue, even though men wrongfully judge both as such. Those at the top naturally will not all be good nor those at the bottom, bad, and vice versa.
