Flawed

 Because we are flawed by nature, we are hard pressed to do the right thing. Still, we can work to strengthen the good in our will that is recessive and weak, outgunned by the sinfulness running rampant there.

 If what is moderate and balanced is good, then what is immoderate and out of proportion, either meager or excessive, is extremism. If extremism, the totalistic allegiance to an ism or abstraction, is the abstraction that one as a duped egoist is enslaved to and worships, that is where self-loathing, passion, fanaticism and the evil adult is asserted, as part of a group, or a group enmasse as a mass movement.

The good person will be self-loving, and individual that individual-lives, is moderate, reasonable, rational more than emotional, and is temperate in supporting or opposing any ideology or abstraction.

For the true believer, a heretical neighbor or an outlander is an enemy or stranger. Racism and prejudice towards that outsider is an innate, bias. Xenophobia, bigotry of all kinds, and unfair  treatment towards strangers, and over-favoring insiders or those in one's own identity group--these behaviors and maladaptive attitudes are held by fanatics.

Discrimiating against the outsider is typical, and babying the insider is predictable. To be prejudiced is the universal, ineradicable, inevitable human trait owned and expressed by every person that ever lived, no matter their race or ethnic background. This is the raw, untutored, un-self-conscious human being's natural stance towards those differing from herself.

How do we cure or learn to sublimate our prejudicial predisposition towards heretics, rivals or outsiders?

First, we must confess to ourselves, to God and to others publicly that we are personally prejudiced, naturally bigoted to anyone different from ourselves, and that this parochialism is an instinctive, powerful partiality that runs right down to the core of all of our souls, be we white, black, woman or man. We cannot help but be the way we are, but, by recognizing it, admitting it openly with words, we then can vow not to act upon our natural partiality, and to treat all with dignity, courtesy, fairness and respect. We will be for and enforce equality of opportunity, but not equality of outcome that ends liberty, ends individualism, promotes mediocrity and nonindivduation, promotes the growth of government quotas and the expansion of the size and reach of groupism.

Second, God is an individualist and individuator so De is rather logical, loving and impartial, so the need to discriminate does not occur to De. We are made in De's image and likeness, so an affectionate disinterest in our dealings with insiders and outsiders will disallow us to think of people in line with our prejudices. To be bigoted is to favor or disfavor any individual, insider or outside, by regarding them as but a member of their group, and such collectivized stereotyping is what leads to systemic racism, etc. To love and treat all impartially is to celebrate their individuality, not much caring about their group affiliations.

Third, we must learn the good habits of non-discrimination, and our custom of treating everyone with loving regard is to practice equal treatment for all. This of course means equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.

These techniques or approaches should turn bigoted nonindividuators into mature, sensible, adult self-realizers, good people that discriminate against none. There is something to the Aristotelian concept that learning good habits, once learned and long, repetitively practiced, will likely transform the agent's naturally bad will into a morally good will, with only minor sinning, but the will is that of a good person. Good people do not hate themselves, or anyone else, so they need to discriminate against none.
