What you are saying is conventionally sensible. But is based on some false premises like going beyond the fence is misanthropy. Misanthropy is the 'inhumane treatment' of 'humanity.' Nothing in my statement suggests that. Again, misanthropy is not a premise in itself; it is a finality.

You seem to forget the essence of God's action in history is one of going beyond the fence.

Now, this is a claim. What is the fence here? My hunch is that you are are using the standards of man. Are you aware of the standards used by the gods?

That aside, if relations within the fence are the ideal, why does the individual feel alienated?

It is not a perfect world. Some fit in, others don't. The reasons cannot be exhausted. Nothing in 'history' suggest that it was perfect.

The fence is alienating and dehumanizing. Going beyond it is embracing the other. It is 'society'.

In your own "measurements" the fence is alienating and dehumanizing. Depends on what you want to focus on. You seek perfection. Big question is: are you using perfect means? I don't think so. Once that is not possible, disillusionment sets in. And it becomes a "useless" world to you because everything is not working in tandem (as you might wish in your utopian world).

naona marudurudu.

There are stories and autobiographic accounts of people dying, 'transcending' the boundary, going to hell then heaven meeting Jesus and so on then coming back to tell us how it went.

Have you believed them? I hope not. If not, why? Yet they have talked of meeting God, Jesus and the angels? Isnt that good and right?

Just because God is mentioned somewhere in it does not make it kosher.

kysse, just be very discriminative, make fine distinctions there are subtle twists to be spotted.

I will let my claims about misanthropy wait and tackle your other points.

What's the fence; and whose standards am I using? The fence, is the construction of my ego.

Good. A construction of your own ego. I will read this sentence along with your last statement. What makes you think that going beyond the fence is the best thing? Why should "we" strive to go beyond the fence? Will we enjoy the same privileges you purport to enjoy? Is it the only thing that matters in life?
The standards are both Man's and God's. The two must always go together. And the ultimate act is the reconciliation of these standards. I am aware of God's standards. Lol.

I will not even tackle the standards.

What does living in an 'imperfect world' mean? It means that you look at the world and you see that it's not 'good'. You even point out the fact of 'subjectivity'. So the question is, do I see the world as 'good'? I do. How? By going beyond the 'fence'.

A 'perfect' way to beyond the fence exists. It is the way of the cross.
