consent

Consent to the good--not to any good which can be grasped or represented, but unconditional consent to the absolute good.

When we consent to to something which we represent to ourselves as the good, we consent to a mixture of good and evil, and this consent produces good and evil: the proportion of good and evil in us does not change. On the other hand the unconditional consent to that good which we are not able and never will be able to represent to ourselves--such consent is pure good and produces only good, moreover, it is enough that it should continue for the whole soul to be nothing but good in the end.

similarly, this is also the problem of luxury and necessity. We consent to our version of what we need which in the end produces commodities (for example). Overall the commodity is the least of concern- rather it perpetuates a the reified subject. (subject made object) We get caught in conditional relationships rather than absolute relationships and justify our life through empty promises.
