mercy is not automated but is a
defining attribute of a conscious being.
sure, you could convince yourself that
Justice is mechanical or -can be- mechanized,
'this action gets this response'
but this Mercy:
no thing is -owed- nor
-deserving- of Mercy.
Mercy must be consciously meted
out by the very nature of what it is.
there is no set of actions that
anything may carry out and then
turn around and say;
"ok, now you owe me Mercy"
and, aside from Mercy, no thing
will rightly stand before God.
sort of like this;
God knows God, and God also,
understands that which is -not- God.
Justice would demand that any thing that
is not God, falls short of God and therefore,
cannot stand before God as blameless and holy,
and so,
for any Creation -to- stand,
Mercy -is- established,
and in establishing Mercy,
the hallmark of conscious being
is demonstrated -by- God.
there would be no Creation without Mercy.
a defining attribute -of- the Creator.
so, when you hear;
"i will have mercy on whom i will..."
try not to hear 'whimsy'
but hear that God is telling you that God is,
in fact, a conscious Being and not a mechanical
process driven device of sorts.
you could compile that as;
"i will have mercy on whom i will
and exact Justice upon whom i will"
not exactly 'boilerplate'
but this would be the sort of thing
that would be 'etched' upon our hearts
so as to fulfill the new covenant.
the very nature of God
mercy may take many forms
from minutia to grand
and aside from mercy
mechanical paralysis would result.
the Deity is conscious.

considering so-called
"fruits of the Spirit"
right off, you could see how
'patience' is a form of Mercy
from waiting for a bus to putting up
with someone getting on your nerves.
of note is, not -so- much, that developing
and having 'patience' could be considered
pleasing to God, but, -is it- the more
beneficial attribute to swift mechanical action?
and, there you are, becoming known
to people as one who will always
jump quickly to vengeance,
and, they see this, and set you up,
they press your call to vengeance,
you run towards the action,
and they're waiting for you at the
toll booth, and collect your final debt.
it's a funny image,
but one that gives a clear picture of
how lack of patience and mercy can
be detrimental to one's -own- well being.
so, it's not just that these are character
traits which you may develop because you
happen to think that God just arbitrarily
wants you to, and you want to maintain
friendly relations with God, but have
no real understanding -why- God
wants you to,
but that God may be trying to show you how
these traits -are- the more beneficial
attributes and contribute to your
continued existance.
remember, you may find yourself -always- at war.
even if warfare is not always bloodshed and mayhem.
sure, some situations don't allow for much deliberation,
which is why, in part, there's no good reason
to go -looking- for trouble when trouble is
following right behind you, but it is probably
easier to prepare for such trouble that may
just happen to find you as you are
tilling the soil, as it were.
meaning, there really is no purpose in
seeking to -cause- trouble, when trouble
is already there.
you don't have to go looking for it,
when it's already there, and seeking
to -cause- trouble is self defeating.
nothing -arbitrary- about any of it.
it -is- the better way.
sort of like this,
in serving your self,
you destroy your self.
it's not obvious, and that's
why we fall prey to it.
simply, there are actions which
are 'good' for -you- and 'bad'
for another person.
that is, an identical action
may be considered, by you, as
'good' -for- you, but in that
same action, -you- would object,
if it were done -to- you.
and so, the only way you can avoid
condemning your self when carrying
out such actions, is by
turning off your 'conscience'
and, in so doing, you
lose your humanity.
so, you think that carrying out
a given action that you would
object to if it were done to you
will be alright if you just don't
care at all about anyone else but
yourself and you do this by
turning off your 'conscience' and
in this manner you lose your humanity
and become more like the mechainzed
automaton whose behaviors are dictated
-by- the mechanical processes of 'nature'
so, if you convince your self
that 'nature' is -driving- you
to be a 'trouble maker' you sacrifice
your self to gain what is, at best,
a wax impression of
the mechanical process.
and so, you hear Jesus say;
=
He who finds his life
will lose it, and he
who loses his life
for My sake
will find it.
Matthew 10:39
=
like, there's two different 'lives'
=
Therefore my heart is glad,
and my glory rejoices; My flesh
also will rest in hope. For You
will not leave my self in the grave,
Nor will You allow Your Holy One
to see corruption. You will show me
the path of life; In Your presence
is fullness of joy; At Your right
hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:9-11
