If it can be said to play the role of the watchmaker in nature, it is the blind watchmaker.

selfish compassion people
How far does one combine resistance to over-control with social justice, i.e. tolerable living for people in general? We are too selfish to be trusted, if left free, to give away enough to make people comfortable enough to give them a chance.

order safety giving
People will often, almost always, prefer a male God. A male image of God gives them this sense of security, safety, order, no nonsense. So that's where their psyche is at. Probably it's something that they've got to go through.

And so, without some integration of the feminine, usually you never get to the mystical level. Richard Rohr
