You’re pointing to something extremely important in this piece, which I would summarize as “the ontological necessity of nonrational responsibility,” which can be associated with sacrifice, forgiveness, and the like. Without “nonrational responsibility,” the world breaks, but it’s very reasonable not to practice it, because, after all, it’s “nonrational”…Anyway, just wanted to say that what you’re getting at here is big. Well done!
The nonrationality of "forgiveness" fascinates me, and I do need to post something about that...And it's my pleasure! I enjoy and appreciate your insights: you always bring something exciting to the table. Thanks for the work you put in to make that possible!

Ah yes, forgiveness. Thanks for pointing out how it's important and non-rational.
And thanks for your kind words. It's really nice to see you (a respectable person) getting something out of my writing.
