CRIME IS “NORMAL”

CRIME IS NORMALNaturally, an healthy life organism acts to increase the well-being, health, good-fortune, sustainability and longevity of itself and others who are inter-dependent for mutual survival.  On Earth, the “food chain” in nature dictates a “hierarchy of evil” (depending on the point of view of the eater vs the eaten).  When a sea lion kills and eats a penguin this is “normal”.  No “crime” has been committed — from the point of view of the sea lion.

In human society, when one man kills another, or steals his possessions, it is conceived that this man is “evil” and has committed a “crime” — from the point of view of the victim.  If entire nations of killers invade a defenseless people who are unable to invoke “law” or “justice” or “revenge”, then no “crime” has been committed — from the point of view of the killers.

Examples of “evil” behavior and activities of this kind are “normal” through the entire history of human society, whether  conducted by brutal military conquest, religious indoctrination or financial swindle, theft or deception.

Logically, if “evil” or “crime” is “normal for humanlooting-main-street

Definition of “CRIME”

noun:   an evil act not necessarily punishable by law

Definition of “EVIL”

noun:   that which causes harm or destruction or misfortune

adjective:   having or exerting a malignant influence

Therefor, by extrapolation, the definition of “CRIMINAL” would be:

An individual, entity, organization or group of individual entities acting or prohibiting action, which acts or exerts malignant influences to create destruction, harm and misfortune, whether or not these influences or actions are punishable by law — from the point of view of the victim.

Therefor, by logical extension, the greater the magnitude of harm, destruction or misfortune caused indicates the degree to which a person, or entity is criminal.  Historically, on Earth, the very BIG criminals can usually be observed to operate and control several fundamental human activities:

1- Finance, 2- Culture/Education/Religion, 3 – Legislation/Government, 4- Industry/Commerce, 5- Military, 6- Labor, 7- Natural Resources (consumed by humans), and 8- Geographic Territory (occupied by humans), 9- Technology.

Historically, as in current “civilization”, one could apply this definition of “criminal” to Bankers,  Educators, Religions, Legislators, Politicians, Industrialists, Corporations, Energy/Food/Materials Suppliers, Government Contractors, Military leaders, Soldiers, Employers, Real Estate Owners, Scientists and Engineers, as well a individual people.

When the “criminals” control playing board and make up their own rules, there is no “evil”.  “Crime” is “normal”.

HERESY

 EQUAL TO GOD

“Unless you make yourself equal to God, you cannot understand God: for the like in intelligible save to the like. Make yourself grow to a greatness beyond measure, by a bound free yourself from the body; raise yourself above all time, become Eternity; then you will understand God. Believe nothing is impossible for you, think yourself immortal and capable of understanding all, all arts, all sciences, the nature of every living being. Mount higher than the highest height; descend lower than the lowest depth. Draw into yourself all sensations of everything created, fire and water, dry and moist, imagining that you are everywhere, on earth, on the sea, in the sky, that you are not yet born, in the maternal womb, adolescent, old, dead, beyond death. If you embrace in your thought all things at once, times, places, substances, qualities, quantities, you may understand God.”    ~ Giordano Bruno from his “Egyptian Reflection of the Universe of the Mind”  ~ 1569

Giordano Bruno  (1548 – February 17, 1600), born Filippo Bruno, was an Italian Dominican friar, philosopher, mathematician, poet, and astrologer.He is best known for his cosmological theories, which went even further than the then-novel Copernican model: while supporting heliocentrism, Bruno also correctly proposed that the Sun was just another star moving in space, and claimed as well that the universe contained an infinite number of inhabited worlds populated by other intelligent beings.   Beginning in 1593, Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges including denial of the Trinity, denial of the divinity of Christ, denial of virginity of Mary, and denial of Transubstantiation. The Inquisition found him guilty, and in 1600 he was burned at the stake.
