Forgiveness
87.1 To Forgive (Fig. 87.1)
To forgive is fundamentally ecological; the biosemiosis that signals to itself on
behalf of any and all others. To elope into the freedom of non-judgment. Scorn that
is fundamentally dualistic, turned to compassion. Unlike the self-badgering of a
strongly held antithesis, to forgive, like sharing water and food, or playing, is quintessentially the most interesting prelude to the breakdown of barriers. This should be
an obvious certitude. These behaviors begin with atoms, then molecules and necessarily will of their own evolution propel trans-ethical minions for whom such groups
are unburdened by scruples or bias. All differences at that point are not only forgiven, but celebrated as a very physic bound to all quarters of the Cosmos.
We don’t understand it, or necessarily perceive it in action in other species. But
antipathy toward oneself, the self-loathing before the mirror of nausea that frames
the body of fluids, gasses, enzymes, and feces, becomes an entirely different biological baseline that should underscore the principles leveraging this Lascaux of
new equivalencies: humanity joyously but one species among 100 million + others.
By the mechanisms of this scenario our species approaches its end un-curtailed any
longer. No more doubts. Despite a legacy of wilderness euphorias, our grasp of all
things ephemeral is limited to a glimpse of geology, or of stars. We do not cling, let
alone worship our deceased, but to the rare friend, friendship presupposing the
rubrics of this ecological change of heart, just as we were preparing to gather en
route to an abyss (Fig. 87.2).
