RE: Don't let fear corrupt your heart
Indeed we can overcome our fears and reach new places. But I find some of Artistotle's quotes misleading at times. The chain of obedience to authority is one of the largest problems we have. Good men don't blindly obey from love, that's a fool. Good men know what they are doing because they know the difference between right and wrong and don't obey. Fearful men will obey authority from fear, and foolish men will obey authority from love. I don't know specifically what he was referring to when he used "obey" though...
Interesting interpretation. I believe it to be that wicked men obey from fear because they fear the consequences, but good men obey from love because they are willing to stand up and fight for what is right and that love has no possession.
Don't know if that made sense, but could be either way.
So obey "the good" I guess? Sure that fits! One does right/good to avoid the consequences of doing wrong/evil, and one does right/good because it is right/good for its own sake. Thanks.
