RE: Human Rights Are Not Subjective

in #morality6 years ago

You've brought up so many important points here. This "bad things happen to good people" thing is a problem in discerning the cause-and-effect of morality.

This is where the principle of mentalism, and "spiritual" knowledge of the interconnectivity of mankind (and everything, really) becomes relevant. Good people may still be helping to create bad outcomes by way of their thought process. I'm guilty of this, as I have a tendency to feed the problem undue attention due to my flaming indignation at encountering the evil of deception everywhere I turn.

We must acknowledge the problem, of course (this is part of the solution), but I've yet to find a way to stay solution-oriented without pointing at the problem continually. Really, if the teacher knows the problem, the student really doesn't have to be made to understand. The only reason why a child needs to know that a hot stove hurts is because he is unlikely to refrain from touching it otherwise. But if he would refrain without that knowledge, the end is achieved.

I point out all truth as a reflex, but it would likely be more prudent to focus upon certain truths in dealing with others. The truth of their inherent freedom and self-ownership. The truth of their power to create in this world. The truth of our ever-expanding potential. This would likely go further than trying to convince people that baby-drinking dark occultists are pulling their strings; and they really wouldn't need to know that if they could be made to enact the solution without that knowledge.

It's necessary to define nearly every single word before you begin to communicate your idea...

You and I think the same Hahaha. This seems ridiculously thorough, but it's so true and is a problem that often troubles me. I'm perfectly willing to have a 10 minute conversation expand to 2 hours in order to establish our definitions , and secure a clear chain of logic. But many are not so eager to embrace this endeavor. Probably because they don't see the desperate need for the answers this process would yield. After all, how's this help them get money and have fun?

For example, my wife is not political at all. She thinks this obviates any need for understanding in regard to the world power structure. She's not voting, so she's not part of the problem, right? Of course, this is entirely incorrect, as evidenced by her culturally-indoctrinated opinions on nearly everything. Not knowing the problem is a roadblock to her enacting the solution.

There's no absolute need to know the problem, as stated above, but it's very rare that one comes upon the solution by any other means. She's still chasing the "American Dream" and doesn't understand that the power structure she gives no thought to is at the root of that motivation.

I'm afraid I'll have to leave much unsaid here, as I could comment for days on what you've said, but our medium makes this cumbersome and I would not impose upon your patience. Always great to hear from you, Jay!

Sort:  

Yeah we could go on for ever. It's always great talking with you as well.
