Issue 12: The Uriah Complex

Have you ever walked in Uriah's shoes?
Well that is not the best feeling in the world. If you trust me or not, don't play David in that situation.

14And it came to pass in the morning, that David wrote a letter to Joab, and sent it by the hand of Uriah.

15And he wrote in the letter, saying, Set ye Uriah in the forefront of the hottest battle, and retire ye from him, that he may be smitten, and die.

16And it came to pass, when Joab observed the city, that he assigned Uriah unto a place where he knew that valiant men were.

17And the men of the city went out, and fought with Joab: and there fell some of the people of the servants of David; and Uriah the Hittite died also. (2 Samuel 11:14-17, King James Version

This complex is not a paranoia but a simple fear of human error. That is human error by people who have earned their way to positions of authority justly. But for some reason loose track of their goal. Following the wrong orders without trusting your inner self will always end in sorrow.

We have millions of people for some reason or another don't do the right things. But there is no law against stupidity. So why is that enforced. Why do we put people in jail just because something doesn't feel right. Oh you say there is your contridiction. No, there is no waffling here.

I'll define your inner self, at least my definition. Your inner man submitts to all governmental authority. And checks itself against another factual source. The real Truth is not afraid of facts, even if they do not jive with your relative truth.

There is relative truth and absolute Truth. There are different belief systems on this planet. And we must respect each others truth. Even if you believe there is no truth at all. This is the USA a free country and we must live with this respect. The Uriah Complex happens when this respect does not exist in a particular space. So to real live Uriahs' dead and gone. I dedicate this article.
