The whole Abrahamic world invests itself in this promise: Dont lie, dont cheat, dont fuck or steal or kill, and you’ll be a good person. Eight of the ten commandments are about what thou shalt not. But you can live a whole life not doing any of that stuff and still avoid doing good. That’s the whole crisis. The rot at the root of everything. The belief that goodness is built on a constructed absence, not-doing.
