It's All in Girard, Man! | Douglas Wilson

The engine that is actually driving all the commotion is envy, competition, hunger, lust, mimetic desire. Where do these conflicts come from? Scripture tells us. It all arises from our imitative wants.
So how can this kind of thing be fixed? Can it be? Of course, this is a fallen world, and there is not a nice little automatic solution to every relationship problem. But the Holy Spirit is loose in the world, and one of the things He is doing is the vast and glorious work of reconciliation. But this reconciliation is always based on the bold proclamation of the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on a bloody cross.
So true reconciliation always has blood all over it. Nothing “rational” about it at all.
