Father’s Parable of Negation

Father’s Parable of Negation

My Son, I see you like treading in the darkness. You utmostly like skating on thin ice. Dear Daughter I realize you lurking in the shadows. You really love crossing these lines don’t you? Both of you passionately desire the acts of the other side.

Now since you long for killing, Kill the killing. Since you’re fond of stealing, Steal the stealing. Since you have an attachment to hating, Hate the hating. Since you are attracted to lying, Lie to the lying. Since you have a deep feeling for murdering, Murder the murdering. Since you’re affectionate to beating, Beat the beating. Since an intense emotion forces you into cheating, Cheat the cheating. Since you’ve a benevolent attitude to loathing, Loath the loathing. Rather, since you find pleasure in being negative, Negate the negative.
