The Ego, pride and the honor are quit strong individually but when they come altogether with their mother as a family they can over run even the strong individuals. This family has been the down fall of the individual strength for a very long time because we all care how people around us think about us. Which leads to the group to zap or rob the individual more than the fiver.
Sense of belonging to the group country, nation race or religion can politically manipulate, use and abuse the individual to further their agendas. This spiritually criminal way of living has not only created insecure individuals, but insecure societies around the world as well.
We kill and exterminate our own kind over, our group insecurities. We justify the killing of others with the twisted politics of survival and peace but in reality there is a lot more behind these political agendas.
Ego, pride, honor and forcefully demanded respect, they all are related with the killings, weather they are related with the gangs, nations or to the religions they have been part of all human societies. Its not only senseless killings, they give birth to the perpetual revenge killings as well.
I believe in larger scheme of life, our systems of governing and religions should look at the causes of our problems. So they can be prevented. If every society justify its system, whether it’s related with religions, traditions, customs or national pride, they have very little room to compromise for the humanitarian and spiritual reasons. So the tradition of killings goes on regardless of the level of our education or even the evolution. The problem is that, as we evolve our technological knowledge is evolving much further than our emotional intelligence, spirituality and the politics of sense of belonging. A very dangerous situation and potentially deadly.
Why people do the things the way they do? Because the society keeps the individual weak, so he/she can be kept in control. It has two problems for the individual, weak individuals don’t want to change the status quo, so we not only obey and bow down to the politics of our belonging groups, we actually stall from the journey of our evolution or even regress from whatever we have achieved.
The individual weakness is the cause of the belief, that our belonging group has the most complete and best knowledge in the history of the world, thus we are the best. A bad mix all around, if an individual can’t judge and question his/her own belonging group’s knowledge there is a major problem or a hurdle of the prejudice, in the way of achieving world peace. Until the individual learns to stand up and ask questions his/her perceived knowledge and don’t come out of the boundaries, world would function same way it has been for thousands of years or even millions of years.
Killings on the name of God, ego, pride, honor or forceful respect have been part of our daily lives because of our sense of belonging to our respected groups. Its time to evolve to the next level and look at the refugee crisis with different lenses so we can eradicate the dead dog of the problem. ( Read dead dog.)
All nations should know that their people are leaving because of they can’t live without the security and peace. The net loss of five bucks with each individual leaving is a net gain for the society receiving and accommodating them. They should know that loss will bite the coming generations of the group. The harms or the benefits may not show initially but eventually it will have the impact. For instance German has an aging population and would immensely benefit if the new blood is pumped into the society one fiver at a time.
If you want to see the proof, just look around if your country is well off look at the population, the talented people from all over the world have been coming to the advanced countries for hundreds of years to make them the successful societies.
Look at the underdeveloped countries their populations has been and are leaving their countries to join the most successful countries. It is just like the villages supply the people to the mega cities and suffer the loss one fiver at a time. I call this is the real brain drain, so warring factions should know their is more price to pay. Ego pride honor and their mother can be a blood sucker and they can suck the life out of their communities. They should know the value of their individuals both sides should explain to their populations about the loss and the gain with the individual.
Dr. Wayne Dyer had explained four levels. I ” quote”
First the owning, second mine is better, third, what is in it for me, fourth what can I do for you.
What is in it for me, can be found not only at the individual level, it is found in all level of politics of sense of belonging as well. For instance
charity work is done by the religious organizations with the strings attached. Advanced nations loan money to the nations to keep them under their thumbs.
One of the reason for the loneliness is that selfish people always fish for self, thus others leave them behind regardless of their wealth and power people don’t respect them. That is why spirituality is not a smiling matter over as a stupidity. We are all connected as an organism. We need each other individually and collectively, countries need people or I should say the individual because of the mortality, our mortality is not just for the individual, seemingly impossible but kingdoms, dynasties and empires vanish from the face of the earth as well. Our grave yards are not only limited for the individuals, just you look and dig into our history there is a grave yard of the governing kings, isms religions and empires as well.
Only spirituality have survived the test of the time because it lives within the individual and individual keeps it alive in all human societies regardless of the religions. That is an other reason I believe we are all cells of God. Our differences are based on our lack of knowledge or I should say misunderstanding of spirituality being in the religions.
The difference of opinion is the cause of all our problems, as human beings we would always have difference of opinions even in the same families. If you look critically both sides are fighting for the same thing. The fear and insecurities are masked with the political agendas or the other way around. Both sides claim that they want equality yet absurdly it is not true because I see a politically correct racism in every race, gender, nation or religion. When it comes to human rights I would pick equal human rights any day democracy or not.
Every human governing system has flaws but no one can or should deny the justice to all human beings. Every individual should have the rights and freedom, but when they form a group to further their agendas of control and enforce their ways of living to trample other’s rights they should be controlled and harnessed. I believe in freedom but for all equally.
When you go and form a group with the people whom have had the same kind of insecurities you should not do the same things to others what has had happened to you. Jewish had been treated unequally in the past by the Germans they should not be doing what they are doing to the Palestinians, but it is natural to form a group to protect your own group or belonging people.
We can say that we have to stand against the religious extreme, because of our experiences, since every religion has been against sexual freedom or matter of fact any kind of freedom. Personally I am against the political arms of every religion, if they are only standing for the spirituality I would gladly join them, but when it comes to human rights I would stand against any and all kind of oppression regardless of the belonging group.
Just imagine if the gay community starts to do the same things to the straight individuals, because of what had happened to them. Human rights are against the mob of any kind, whether its religions, race, gender, group of any kind or even a nation, I would stand for the individual’s rights. If you go for the cause of equality you should take all kind of politics out and go for the humanity.
Religious extreme is bad when it’s enforced upon the others, so is anything else like nationalism and other kind of governing systems, because they all have the potential to bully the individual.
When religious people push and enforce their belief system they trample the individual’s rights, we should stand against enforced beliefs because they are not the physical reality, hurting or killing the individual is.
I am first to stand against any kind of extreme because I believe our knowledge has never been complete no matter what religion nation or race you belong to.
If you care and take pride of your past, the others are doing the same thing. If you want to change others to blend in, you have to do the same. If you set the standers for others you have to start with yourself. If you can’t change your own heritage you can’t demand others to change. It’s great to have equality, I am for it 100% but, not pushing your own belonging groups political agenda.
There was a big news some years back about protecting and enforcing French language only.
Protecting French language or heritage is politically correct racism. We all are victims of the same problem, imbalanced sense of belonging, if you remove the politics you would embrace every human being as a humanity. If you claim it’s your land just because you were here first just how far back you want to go. Is it true that France is an ocean away? So is the England your ancestors came here just like these new comers.
Earth is our home remove the politics of divisions, you will see the peace. If you see the earth there are no physical lines it is all politically divided because we want peace, but we have been chasing it the wrong way. The more divisions you have more conflicts you would have because mankind can’t stay out of each other’s business.
Everybody and their belonging group promotes and fights for their language and identity, yet humanity just has one language and yes that is spirituality. Intension and action are the real essence of humanity. The race, gender, nation or a religion only survives because of the individual’s good deeds. Asking for being a special group identity is racist and against the human rights. The real safety and security of the individual is not in the pond, it is in belonging to the ocean of humanity. If you fear from drowning in the ocean, this fear is caused by the racist and nationalist education, which has been wrong for the individual and the humanity, because it has been and is deadly. The proof is in our history we can’t count the death toll of the wars and killings related to our politics and religions. There is a constant climb in the number of deaths but some leave the mark on people just like the little boy on the beach in Turkey who wanted to come to Canada.
While you are looking at the history just look how many empires have been victors and victims of this phenomenon. In the end of the day ocean is where everybody ends up just like the rain drop. We all as an individual or collectively pass on but we leave the people behind whom are following our footsteps so we should not leave something for them which can be destructive and harmful for them and humanity.
The main desire for the individual is to raise family in a peaceful land because he/she knows the realities of mortality. It is the political systems we need to fix because they are all based on the insecurities and control. Logically as an individual you just can’t own a piece of land because of mortality, yet the system is set in such a way that a dead human owns a piece of land as a grave, even hundreds of years have passed by. Does it make sense to anyone? There are living homeless but dead one owns land.
All the ancient civilizations have claimed owning land yet we find grave yards of them, we should be softer to the humanity so we should not be judged harshly.
Countries and humanity can be stronger if we all pull together, if there is peaceful time we can evolve much faster to gain more of our potential.
