THE
WORD
And finally, the Z word that should never be spoken or written again is:
Zealot
A zealot is a person who, though still human, becomes obsessed with a divine calling to be supremely right and to manifest the conviction through:
Fanaticism and an uncompromising attitude
I have found it
It is good
I am right
It is perfect
You must leave it alone
I will fight you over it
This is what makes a zealot. It is very easy to become a one. It occurs between step 2, “It is good,” and step 3, “I am right.”
For since we wear skin and are prone to error, we should never translate the goodness we experience as being a definitive sign that we’re right.
Everything that happens after that proclamation of rightness is deeper and deeper wells of arrogance drudging up more and more of the filth of selfishness and eventually violence.
I have found it.
Great. This is good. This is a bold statement that is still acceptable. But at no time during your season on Earth are you ever going to be able to say, “I am right.” As soon as you do, you trigger the need to cheat, lie, abuse and curse your way into proving that your profile is accurate.
Zealots are never good.
Zealots never achieve anything except proving that pride goes before every fall.
