why Benny is scared

[Menschen U. Hupokrinesthai]

With the battle of Verdun in 1916, which the Germans called Materialschlacht 
or Battle of War Material, it must seem that the
resemblance instituted by chivalry between the modes of love and war came to 
an end.

To force a woman's resistance by seducing her is peace; to do so by 
violating her is war.

The heresy which is bound up from the beginning with the cortezia of the 
South of France condemned Catholic marriage on each of the three heads just 
mentioned (Nature, Juridical, Sacrament). It denied that marriage was a 
sacrament. It declared procreation to be the work of the Prince Of Darkness, 
who, in its view, had created the visible world. It sought to destroy a 
social order which could countenance and demand war as a manifestation of 
the collective will to live.

The present general demoralization reflects a confused strife in our lives 
as a result of the co-existence of two moral systems, one inherited from 
religious orthodoxy, but no longer sustained by a living faith; the other 
derived from a heresy of which the "in-essence-lyrical" expression has come 
down to us in a form altogether profaned and therefore distorted.

>From such general decay of institutional obstructions a slackening of 
tension was bound to ensue, so that it is no wonder that there is now vast 
confusion.

Strictly speaking, the two hostile moral systems (middle class "Christian" 
values and modern moral decadence) are no longer in conflict (and hence no 
MYTH is any longer possible), but are approaching a state of mutual 
neutralization, which will be reached when the old values-not transcended, 
but abased-have finally dissolved.
