Morality is an abstract concept created for a purpose. The purpose is to allow people to get along with each other.

There are two basic approaches for coexistence. One is to universalize the subject by basing it on justice. The other is to eliminate problems through force. The first is called morality; the second might be called ethics or might not be labeled at all.

To universalize coexistence through justice is to give no one a reason to not get along. If then someone defies justice, they are dealt with as violators of public trust.

Persons who base their existence on force generally assume that justice or morality cannot be produced in any complete way, and it is unrealistic to try. On that basis, the use of force is assumed to be necessary as the lesser of evils.

Corrupt persons assume that the use of force, including coercion and intimidation, is pragmatic. They only look at immediate effects and fail to realize that they continually create enemies who will eventually catch up to them.

Christ taught that it is possible and necessary to overcome sin in order to base "eternal life" on morality or justice. It requires a path of overcoming sin. When the forces in minds which cause sin no longer exist, then living by standards of morality or justice is possible.

The use of force as a basis for coexistence does not have a rationality. There is no stable end-point to that path other than hell. Once it is decided to use force against some persons, there are no definable limits for the amount of force or the persons who it should be applied to. The determining influence is always based upon power. Those who have the most power prevail against those who don't.

It is not possible for the same persons to maintain power indefinitely, and it has never happened. Moral existence is not based on power, and even the moral world continually recycles between sin redeveloping and being overcome.

In the immoral world, the use of power to defeat enemies through force always results in a continuous increase in enemies, until they overthrow the previous persons who controlled power. The pipe dream of the good Roman Empire which never ends is conceptually flawed. The number of enemies must always increase, because sin and force must fall on everyone. Since justice and morality are assumed to be impossibilities—and they are impossibilities for persons who have forces creating sin in their heads—they cannot be turned on and off for some persons and not others. In other words, corrupt persons must sin against their supposed friends, until they have nothing but enemies. No other result has every occurred.
