The rich and powerful taking sexual advantage of the vulnerable is as old as King David and as recent at Jeffrey Epstein. What also is perennial is how easy it is to lose one’s moral compass. Take General Joab. David wrote a letter to Joab which he sent by Uriah. In it he directed: “Place Uriah up front, where the fighting is fierce. Then pull back and leave him to be struck down dead.” Joab knew this to be an immoral order but her went along with it because going with flow was easier than holding onto one’s own values. This way of operating is as recent as January 6 of last year. The challenge we all face is to make sure our decisions are Godly.
