>>2859395>A popular interpretation I read was that its kind of the point where a person intentionally "hardens their heart" and rejects divine grace and redemption. It's not that God wont forgive you, its that you intentionally make yourself unwilling to seek redemption. I guess a good description would be you wholly give in to your self-justifications for your actions.It's called being an adult,
taking your fate in your own hands,
and living beyond good and evil.
And it's what's responsible for everything good that we have today,
from the tree of knowledge, to the building of a gentile church, to the crusades, to the reformation, to the french revolution, to marxism, to the UN, to the women's movement, to Civil Rights, to 69, to the gay movement, to the internet, to AI.
It was people taking their own fate and with it the fate of the world in the world in their own hands without consulting their peers, the authorities, the law, or God to see if that was an idea worth pursuing or if the consequences would be tolerable.
It was the somber realization that for the world to become better, they would have to become worse.
