A pet theory of mine is that society benefits when leaving honor culture behind to a certain extent. The reason is that with forgive and move on, conflicts can be fairly quickly resolved and production can resume. With a strong entrenched honor culture, conflict risk consuming all of society with fire and destruction following. Njals saga is a good illustration of how more and more people get pulled into the fight. > Blessed are the rich, for they possess the earth and its glory. > > Blessed are the strong, for they can conquer kingdoms. > > Blessed are they with strong kinsmen, for they shall find help. > > Blessed are the warlike, for they shall win wealth and renown. > > Blessed are they who keep their faith, for they shall be honored. > > Blessed are they who are open handed, for they shall have friends and > fame. > > Blessed are they who wreak vengeance, for they shall be offended no more, > and they shall have honor and glory all the days of their life, and > eternal fame in ages to come. > > I'll admit my forefathers probably were Christian for a thousand years or > more but they didn't jot down the Christian beatitudes. I wonder how many of my forefathers who remained pagans after the country officially became christian? Surely at least a few must have remained pagans for a couple of 100 of years after official christianity was implemented. --8323328-1725586042-1734952744=:26309--
