Enhancing Good and Diminishing Evil

You should be generous, especially to your friends and the good, but not kind or charitable. You should be magnanimous, but not forgiving or merciful.

These distinctions are important. To overstep these guidelines is a violation of justice and treason to the virtuous. It means you’re not treating good and bad people differently, as you should. Being kind, charitable, forgiving, or merciful to immoral people is an act of rewarding, and thus creating, evil behavior. It means punishing and destroying human goodness.

Such actions are also an attack upon reality and reason. Like Mother Nature, you need to be scrupulously loyal to true and good ideas, ideals, institutions, and individuals always. Like Mother Nature, you need to be intransigently hostile to false and bad ideas, ideals, institutions, and individuals always. Such should be your social participation in the unending battle between good and evil.
