absolute.

going The Rock tmr. heh. service is at 7pm but we gotta queue at 5!! its crazy! hrm. but if you're crazy for someone good then its justified right? it just occured to me that if you want to purify something, you cleanse it to become like something else. that you consider desirable. and perfect. and good. and that something else has to be a standard, like an absolute. that's why mao's 4 Old Reforms failed in my opinion. there was no one to be the pole to measure anything by. so if the something else isnt pure, how can the administrators, and the methods be uncontaminated? Mao never took the blame, even after the disasters of great leap or cultural rev. he blamed the lower level officials for not understanding the conditions of the peasants/ people. so in that way even during his 'Self-Criticisms' he diverted blame from himself when he was the source of that pollution.

and thats also why only God can truly purify. he's the only Absolute. the creator of absolutes.

God whispers to us in our pleasures,

speaks to us in our conscience,

but shouts to us in our pains.

it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.
